@ryanbedwards @gdemom DEFINITELY get a separate keyboard. ➡️ Flat/slim keyboard = better (i.e. not bulky(*) since that makes you tilt your wrists. Don't fall for the ones that tilt (higher at the back); no good. ➡️ NO NUMPAD (*) Unless you go for split/ergonomic w/ mechanical keys

The budget resolution Dems passed last month allows them to add no more than $1.75T to deficits. So bill could theoretically score as costing anywhere from $0 - $1.75T, and still pass the Byrd Rule. In practice seems Manchin would not vote for a bill at high end of that range
@crampell -- Mon Sep 27 13:03:39 +0000 2021
as I’ve written, Dems are getting cold feet on some of their own tax hikes (also questionable whether they can fit all their gross costs into $3.5T-sized box). Most likely, even after budget gimmicks, the bill will score as partly but not fully paid for. https://t.co/RXhIwDDnob

It is actually different. TCJA scored as costing $2T *after* accounting for pay-fors (including addit'l econ growth). Dems say their spending/taxcuts bill will add up to $3.5T *before* payfors.

I highly recommend that you read the paper, read the substack, watch the video and ask @SCarter611 and @AbigailWozniak questions about the study, as it's got many fascinating elements and I think a lot to teach us abt both people but also our models too. 18/n

The AER and QJE are quite similar to me. Very in your face, no frills. I do like all caps blocked letters of QJE titles and names.

A story. When I was in law school, a long long time ago (but not so long), Justice Scalia came to speak. This was shortly after Lawrence v TX. My classmate asked him "do you sodomize your wife?" bc Scalia thought the state could ask and criminalize this. All hell broke loose https://t.co/jsYinbkgGn

@DanielYRubin @imbernomics @thehill "And either way nothing else was allowed yet" Again, I think this differed substantially from place to place. I was doing outdoor dining that summer, for example.

@AlexBartik @imbernomics I know I had gotten the message that outdoor activities were not dangerous prior to this. We had already started doing picnics and other events with friends. I agree that getting that message pre-BLM required a lot of delicate parsing, which was not ideal.
@besttrousers -- Mon Sep 27 14:16:33 +0000 2021
@BelittleMyTakes @imbernomics I agree with @JamesGLeckie below. I think that there was a failure in coordinating the communications of the risk mitigation factor of (masks/distance/outdoors/mobility) pre-BLM. BLM sort of forced the coordination, but there wasn't anything new about the information.
@besttrousers -- Mon Sep 27 14:14:30 +0000 2021

I will observe that some of the advice doesn’t port directly to technologists, partly because B2C vs B2B and partly because I perceive some of it as meeting artists where they are, and where they are is low-sophistication with respect to business management/etc.

Basically, men/women often have different ideas of "punishment". My personal view is that by understanding that manipulation is part of our natures can consider how we relate intentionally, whether that involves trying to change another person or not. https://t.co/XX6kZxRVsl
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:33 +0000 2021
"Why didn't you include people rationally talking things out?" Looks like men strongly prefer to be slapped than go to couple's counseling and slightly prefer a long conversation that includes no verbal abuse to being slapped https://t.co/Wh730ezAMx https://t.co/5R4loiBzMH
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:32 +0000 2021
Men strongly preferred a slap to being yelled at for half an hour. In general, I think women might underestimate how, for men, a moment of aggressively inflicted physical pain might be less aversive than even a relatively short period of verbal anger. https://t.co/CgZKaWfBWD https://t.co/vCBCFHYbaO
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:31 +0000 2021
The only way that we can know if someone considers a behavior painful/punishing is to ask- in this case I silent treatment to a slap, which most people agree is abusive. In this poll people were surprised men slightly preferred a slap to silent treatment. https://t.co/EldZn2rbq8 https://t.co/hcFO0OZKha
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:30 +0000 2021
We have ideas about what is abuse or acceptable behavior in relationships. But we really don't know how painful a behavior is *to the person we are doing it to* unless we ask. For instance, many people would prefer corporal punishment to prison. https://t.co/E6GlaMSzV0
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:29 +0000 2021
Lots of my mentions said that silent treatment was abuse. Most men do not think it is abuse and women, even though the above says they're more likely to use silent treatment as a tactic, were also more likely to also say silent treatment *is* abuse. https://t.co/7XljLr31HT https://t.co/2nmhpkaMsE
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:28 +0000 2021
When I asked, silent treatment also wasn't uncommon (although my hunch is that we often forget arguments completely and the tactics we use when we are angry). About half of women and 1/3 of men admitted to engaging in silent treatment at some point. https://t.co/7XljLr31HT https://t.co/VF4ZhGcylm
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:27 +0000 2021
"Silent treatment" is a very common tactic of manipulation- present in most relationships. Some evidence that social ostracism, like silent treatment, actually shows similar physiological response as physical pain. https://t.co/cfV3TzXDXy
@sentientist -- Mon Sep 27 04:55:26 +0000 2021
Do people often manipulate each other in relationships including punishment? You might think it's dysfunctional, unhealthy, or even abusive but you can't say that interpersonal manipulation isn't common. Psychologists have been thinking about this for decades. https://t.co/5zQaAZQZBy

"Cancer" by #TedKooser https://t.co/VfinUnG740 via @rattlemag The "ghost of meter" lingers in this poem that wants to be a traditional #sonnet. Note how after no set metrical pattern (Kooser tends toward non-iambic #tetrameter) the last sentence turns into #iambic #pentameter.

@RiverEHall In the 90's poets called me "The Bridesmaid of New Formalism."--my book was a runner-up/finalist nine times in a four-year period. I added a long poem & cut the light verse; #RachelHadas picked it for the #RichardWilbur Award the next time out. It was a better book by then.

@julianbpoet I don't agree--I think she has gotten a free ride because critics bought into the image she fostered. In her personal conduct there are parallels with #TedHughes--including two suicides of lovers. As you can see in the #RobertLowell letters, she was also disingenuous & a snob.

@DavidRosenthal_ I have a general feeling his last marriage was a blessing for him & he was an honorable guy in his later years--why I hesitate is that I don't know what the combination of you and too much alcohol was like.

WOW. Berliners just decisively voted to expropriate ~240,000 apartments currently owned by “mega-landlords” (private real estate companies/developers) and turn them into socialized public housing. An important victory seized by (and for) working people!

It might be a good idea for Facebook to post the full reports that it says the WSJ misinterpreted, with annotations to explain all the shorthand and caveats. Then we could make our own minds up.

If Trump didn’t exist, I’d say Biden is the weakest US President since Carter. But Trump—and his ongoing efforts to destroy legitimacy of US political institutions—changes the baseline. Makes it harder to offer fair and unbiased judgement.
