@laderafrutal Google's policy is to use the official geographic databases in their home countries. If you were to look it up from Canada, it would be "Gulf of Mexico." I honestly don't see anything wrong with it; Google did not change their policy or software at all.

@itaisher By "vibe shift," people generally mean his renewed support among elite institutions, which seemed out of the question after 1/6 and felony convictions.

@KyleLSaunders @chamath All true, but I think all depends on what you define as "labor." The Democrats are the party of the professional-managerial class, but many of those people could be considered "labor" (there are more graduate students than auto workers in the UAW).

@maya_sen I mean...many Republicans feel that open borders or a deep state that is pilfering taxpayer funds is a "constitutional crisis." You would need an open-ended question to figure out what this means.

@ProfJAParker @elonmusk In 2024, Tesla continued to do well, he landed a rocket, and leveraged X to spread propaganda to win an election where 538 had him as a 40-60 underdog. My advice to the elites is to be very concerned and scared of this guy, not call him stupid.

@lxeagle17 The issue may not be the gvnt employees (who lean Dem), but the private sector in NoVA that is highly tied to the federal gvnt (defense, consulting, operations, etc.). Those folks likely have lots of Romney Republicans.

@HannoLustig To be fair, this is just a bad prediction. I would hope @JustinWolfers would agree that great economists have joined the Trump team. I do agree that it is somewhat surprising the economic talent that has joined Trump, and I suppose it has to do with the broader "vibe shift."

@maya_sen It's also concerning that a senator who has been in Congress for 200 years or something is learning about this for the very first time.

@itaisher Don't worry. The Democrats are on it:
I can't believe what I just listened to. The DNC Leader interrupted the party election to tell members that not enough non-binary candidates have been elected, so they MUST now vote for one. "With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender." And Democrats wonder why America didn't vote for them.

I wrote this paper a few years ago on how direct flight availability affects Congressional careers. Potentially relevant today in that Congress has a authority over DCA airport, and it's fairly well known they push for lots of flights in and out of it.

@mikekofoed @DOGE Who do you think Trump is most concerned about w.r.t the deep state? Incompetent people or competent people who undermine his goals?

Another @aletheia_tweets paper in the APSR. This project is on haitus right now, but has a lot of potential, so if anyone is interested in taking it over let me know.

@tyminski_marek Enemy density and placement / level design, and that early platforming section by the cliffs is super super annoying and not fun.

@tyminski_marek The umbral design was fantastic and made for interesting puzzles. The art style, direction, and builds were great. I think the reason you didn't get into FromSoft (or even Lies of P territory) was bad level design, enemy placement/density, and platforming.

@annabellehutch ....which made it easier for people to collect their own data, and there was a rush of people studying behavior.

@JustinWolfers What do you think explains the vibe shift of a set of top economists working for Trump (which seemed unlikely a few months ago):
