Two tripods support a video camcorder and a full-HD projector. A little folding table holds a laptop. Not pictured: two furry kittens, full of vim and vigor

I tested my new apparatus for filming lectures at home. The electronics worked fine, but the kittens took filming as the perfect opportunity to swing from the curtains by their claws!

I wrote a thing about Chuck Norris jokes and how memes turn people into objects -- which can be an ambivalent thing.

On the one hand it lets everyday people take a celebrity with homophobic views and other distasteful politics […]

Both the American Economic Review and the Review of Economic Studies rejected the paper for "triviality", while the reviewers for Journal of Political Economy rejected it as incorrect, arguing that, if this paper were correct, then no goods could be traded.[4] Only on the fourth attempt did the paper get published in Quarterly Journal of Economics.[5] Today, the paper is one of the most-cited papers in modern economic theory and most downloaded economic journal paper of all time in RePEC (more than 39,275 citations in academic papers as of February 2022).[6] It has profoundly influenced virtually every field of economics, from industrial organisation and public finance to macroeconomics and contract theory.

Nice note on the publishing history of Akerlof's classic "The Market for Lemons" paper (1970).

Rejected by two top journals for being "trivial", and a third for being "incorrect".

Today one of the "most-cited papers in modern economic theory" (and possibly […]

It's fun how, even as a pretty senior person, you end up in research projects with PhD candidates or postdocs who assume you an expert while you panicky try to read up on what you are working on and at least understand the basics enough to be able to follow and usefully contribute.

I asked my colleague whether by asking the authors to include abc in the manuscript I'm reviewing was me being "Reviewer no. 2"

I change my academic email signature regularly too: new publications, podcasts, bonus details. And I love reading other signatures with this stuff too. If you keep your email signature unchanged and minimalistic, I secretly judge you for not being creative and productive. #academicchatter
