I'm heartbroken by the racist shooting in Buffalo this past weekend. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the shooting. The friends and families of the victims and also the communities who feel less safe than they did before. 1/8

Hi @TeamYouTube could you explain why you decided to set my video The End Of The Movie Star to restricted ads without notifying me, and rejected my appeal without explanation? Almost like you were trying to suppress my video...

If I’d bought a Bitcoin 4 days ago when I tweeted this, I would have made $6,000.
What's driving bitcoin up? It's over $26k somehow.

Figuring out a bug in your job hunting process is easy. Not getting an interview/responses? Work on your resume and network. Not passing the interview? Spend all your spare time studying. Not getting the offer you want? Make yourself invaluable and learn new skills.

Posted this earlier today, but I love all of these; from Dr. Charles Brewer, perhaps the best teacher I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. "Eschew intellectual flabbiness" and "For every complex question, there is an easy answer - and it is wrong" are my favs.

WOW. There is a POSITIVE correlation between confirmed COVID-19 cases and the total number of shark attacks (provoked and unprovoked!) since 1900. Don't ask me about the R^2 though because I consider the NHST to be tyrannical.

#7PhDSecrets: Secret 7: You can do it! A PhD is 90% persistence and 10% intelligence. Of course you have to be clever. But that's not enough. You also have to persist. Hang in there. Especially in these tough days. From buff.ly/2yoNBjA #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum

Wrote a little summary on one of the best books I've read this year - Scale by Geoffrey West. He explores the universal scaling laws that underlie organisms, cities, economies, and companies. link.medium.com/rAQqvpsLk5
