I'm realizing that my work style is “Robert Redford in the 70s” with narrower lapels.

Two points. 1. Maybe don’t zone for more people than you have water for? 2. Unless you’re 1 inch from the water source, everyone is using treated sewage in surface drinking water. Treated sewage is discharged back into the source it was drawn from.

“In a number of cases, trials that were mostly completed were rendered useless without the money to finish and analyze the work, the letter says. “Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million,” it says, “it wastes $4 million.”” Mhmm.

This is obviously bad for Canada, but also for a big parts of the US—Chicago has been nothing but smoke for the last week.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

I mentioned to my wife that the XCO race today is in Leogang, AUS, and now I'm pretty sure we're spending a few weeks in the Salzburg region next summer.

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn. BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS. #EconSky

Alice Rivlin is rolling over in her grave. Neutral, nonpolitical analysis is baked into the DNA of CBO.

While not generally important, I'm up to four different journal ranking methodologies in my review docs (two academic pieces, JCR, Scopus). How much do people care about this?

I forgot these exist, but I wonder if they'll expressly enumerate local grocery tax increases (starting Jan 1, 2026). A long lead time, but that will give us the most specific data on local adoption.

Perhaps it's semantics, but the Mayor's description of the grocery tax is incorrect. It's not locally collected (it's still collected by the state in the exact way it was), but it is locally implemented. You could choose not to (not that I'm advocating for that).

Successfully raced an incredibly hard bike race with a torn ligament in my thumb and didn't make it worse! (Very aptly time MRI two days after) Win!

We have an undergrad degree competition program in public service leadership for cops. One of my main reasons I champion it is so they get a good public sector ethics course. Criminology doesn’t teach it, but it’s essential to know the difference between legal and public sector ethics.

One (main) reason I keep making maps of lots of things is that students find them absolutely fascinating. Distributions are one thing; geographic distributions are another.

If this bothers you, public service may not be for you. However, I have taught many people who are willing to accept this because they view public service as a noble profession. This is just one of the costs (lower than the immense benefits, personal or societal).

This seems to be "secret knowledge" to people, but here goes. My name, title, salary, and, in some instances, partially redacted home address have been a matter of public record since 2005. I have been employed by four states; this is just part of the gig.
