How to write #abduction, really? A P.E.B.I. approach by Brent Goldfarb & co-authors:
1. Introduce the PUZZLE
2. Review alternative EXPLANATIONS.
3. Describe the phenomenon the BEST you can.
4. INTERPRET observations, the why, what and generalize.

Thank you to my friend, @Jamie_Raskin, for your endorsement in this Senate race! You are a great friend, an incredible leader, and a true champion in the House.
It has been so great working alongside you (especially since our offices are right across the hall from each other!), and I am grateful to have your early support in this race.

Cannot believe Starbucks invested my points in long duration mortgage backed securities

This is it, folks.
Absolutely insane lines today.
Unprecedented run on Starbucks points.
Saw several people redeeming their points for free coffees.
One man redeemed for TWO breakfast sandwiches.
Manager said they may run out of sandwiches today.

I agree with caveats. It's interesting to read @brentdg2's and @darchivist's _Bubbles and Crashes: The Boom and Bust of Technological Innovation_ in this light to think about where asset bubbles did and did not appear around new technologies. It's not everywhere but is common.

I am teaching my first graduate seminar on the history of electrification next week 😬. (Here are some of the readings...)
Do people have any tips about what they wish they'd known before teaching their first seminar?

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.
