UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas. USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state. And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.

Is it the phones? A new paper uses AT&T's 2007–2011 iPhone monopoly as a natural experiment and finds that iPhone access sharply reduced births, especially among younger women. Smartphones may explain 33–52% of the post-2007 decline in U.S. fertility.

Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Out of morbid curiosity, I looked into it. One poor guy had about half of his worries actually occur. Prayers for anxieties georg

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

“Trump purchased $500,000 to $1 million worth of Nvidia stock on Jan. 6, a week before the Commerce Department officially approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China.” Insider trading, corruption, treason. Where are the calls for impeachment?

Kylie Jenner passionately explains The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to Jake Shane on a new episode of Therapuss

"We used to spend hours trying to deciphering a simple LaTeX error."

If there is ever a social phenomenon that needs to be studied, it is how the GOP has been able to hoodwink people for decades into thinking that they the party of “fiscal responsibility” when there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support that claim. And I mean ZERO.

This is pretty wild: A 2025 Goldman Sachs report found that 40% of people earning $500,000 per year say they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

With reluctance, I believe that Kevin Warsh's unwillingness to affirm that Biden won the 2020 election is disqualifying. Why do I say "with reluctance"? I think the easy case for rejecting a nominee occurs when the nominee either reiterates or refuses to reject falsehoods from the Trump administration that are relevant to their work, be it the basic facts of the area in which they work or the consensus understanding of explanations in the disciplines which study the area. "China pays the tariffs" is a good example for economic policy contexts. This is domain-specific integrity and should be an absolute requirement for a confirmation. It is especially appropriate for nominees who are scholars given the categorical imperative of intellectual honesty that the guild demands. (A more complicated determination would involve sincere holders of heterodox views, which would, depend on the particular views, but should involve a broad principle of acceptance of disagreement.) Warsh's nonsense speaks to a different question-courage in the face of political pressures. This is fundamental to the successful operation of the Federal Reserve. It is fine to debate details of the meaning of Central Bank independence. But there are compelling reasons to believe that some independence is essential for macroeconomic policy. Credibility matters. The incomprehensible mendacity of the Trump administration combined with its disregard for the many norms that undergird successful governance place unique burdens on those charged with deciding on confirmations to assess issues of integrity and courage. Obviously, a focus on character traits is subject to its own abuse. However, these are not normal times.
