To honor the anniversary of the Normandy invasion, the federal government is now invading… Los Angeles.

My college roommate and the guy who took care of our building were both huge Rams fans, so they loved to chat. Plus, he had great stories—it was fun to ask him about the wildest stuff he’d seen in the building. Very kind man and a great storyteller.

It’s a tough job to be a journal editor, especially in an era when… in short: there are few jobs and many great scholars, and journals are one of the places where those things collide.

I love it when people post papers, graphs, and useful explanations about things. This one’s all three!

I think it would be cool if Bluesky set up a feed that weighted the probability of displaying a post inversely with the number of posts that person made in the last 24 hours—something to encourage thoughtfulness. What is the most important thing to say today? 1/2

This is contemptible. Harvey Milk was assassinated while serving as an elected official — he gave his life for the cause of democracy. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Good report below on STV in Portland (OR). We analyzed the CVR (ballot images) and collected original data on interest-group endorsements.

People love to make jokes about the people who work for the government—but, actually, these are your family, friends, neighbors. And there are huge numbers of genuinely public-spirited, public-service oriented people trying to do their best for their fellow citizens. 1/2

This is interesting. I live in Altadena — it really is remarkable to see how fire-resistant a lot of trees were. Despite things being on fire very, very close to us, our CA oak trees were essentially undamaged. I’d long assumed they were our biggest fire risk, but that probably was quite wrong.

I sometimes open the news and think, aw, gosh, guys—let’s get it together here. This just ain’t it. Let’s be kind, and thoughtful, and mindful of the beauty of the world, and do our best in the causes we find good.

Just think what your favorite national park could do with $16 million extra dollars. Or a pediatric cancer research team. Or your local high school.

I’m for the national parks.

Churchill: <Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: “Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.”>

These dudes have fancier kit and loadout than I ever did in over a decade as a Navy SEAL. They really think they are so fucking cool.

A real delight of buying used and somewhat rare academic books online is that they were often owned by other professors, who often wrote their names in books! I’ve now ended up with books previously owned by several greats of my profession — I think it’s really cool.
