Good short thread qualifying the elite education graph that’s been making the rounds.
saw the new documentary about omar rodriguez-lopez and cedric bixler-zavala last night.
1st, the doc is so good. 2nd, it includes footage from this 2000 ATDI performance of one armed scissor on letterman, which i had never seen before. it goes so hard!

OK, one of my favorite things about X/twitter was the survivor community, so I’ve done the public service of putting together a #Survivor starter pack.
Still very much a WIP - please reply with accounts I should add!

Seems like a nice interface to interact with LLM APIs in R
Proud to share my first NBER working paper. 17.5 million Redfin users were randomly assigned to see or not see flood risk on home listing; the treated users went on to make offers on less risky homes. First casual evidence that homebuyers are adapting to climate change www.nber.org/papers/w33119
