This is more than a year old, but it's new to me, and extremely illuminating on the subject of why US streets are so horribly engineered. nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…
If gas prices rise this summer and drive an inflation narrative, worth noting gas prices in Wash DC are VERY skewed. Right now gas stations in Chevy Chase and Georgetown (places many nat’l-focus ppl drive) are up near $5.00. Gas is ~$3.50 just one mile away.

Exciting development in Illinois. The State Senate yesterday passed a bill requiring that there be a 120 day waiting period before a newspaper can be sold to an out of state company (to give time to communities to organize to keep it local) senatorstadelman.com/news/15-press-…
We were one judge on the 5th Circuit away from a radical decision to put enormous new power in the hands of the president to gut agencies Republicans don’t like. This should be a wake up call for us all. A Repub president will, aided by the courts, devastate our government.

Two decades of research have shown that when communities lose local news, taxes go up, government waste sharply increases and elections become less competitive. Read more from @AnnaBrugmann & @mark_histed's in @WashInformer: washingtoninformer.com/dc-local-journ…

@DPearsonPHL Yep. It is always this way. Immigrants settled Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and Pittsburgh and came to do dirty and difficult jobs. Just another way immigrants make America great.

Love this from @jackbalkin about Thomas in Bruen: “He invents a tradition that conforms to his judicial philosophy. As historians pointed out, there is considerable evidence of regulation of carriage of weapons in England, in the colonial period, in the early republic…”

In short, stringent multiple test correction is one thing GWAS does right, and has resulted in highly replicable associations. But replication does not mean a finding is "real" or free from bias, and there are still many outstanding challenges for accurate GWAS inference. /x
Ok, but this is twitter and we can't just talk about how great things have been. So here are four TRUTH BOMBS to absolutely DESTROY the GWAS die-hards out there (or at least lead to some interesting discussions instead of just rehashing the Bayesian/Frequentist food-fight).
It pains me to see facile critiques of GWAS on here from our clinical/biostats friends while the many actually good reasons to be critical of GWAS get little attention. So here's a thread on what GWAS does, what critics get wrong, and where GWAS is genuinely still lacking. 🧵:
When there are not enough substitutes, which happens all the time, kids are distributed to different classrooms ➡️no learning happens on that day. If you're against learning loss, then you should be for permanent subs in each building who know kids and can be trained.
2 years ago @dcpolicycenter did a report on the substitute shortage. In many schools, it's still getting worse, but one key pandemic support- full-time building substitutes- has been taken away. Tell DC Council we need permanent subs for all schools now! dcpolicycenter.org/publications/s……

@HistedLab @mark_histed @V_Williamson @BrookingsInst This relies on scientists and universities making the public case that they are a public good, something many of them refuse to do on principle.
A while ago, I posted how DC OAG needs to detail more prosecutors over to DC USAO to surge resourcing and improve prosecution rates (x.com/dclawsense/sta…). Now, we see another Federal Agency doing the same to address staffing shortages. The NYT article specifically mentions…
(6) Admit There is a Resource Problem and Request a Large Increase in Staffing from DOJ. Publicly Request 40 DC OAG Prosecutors Be Detailed to DC USAO in the Short Term. The 2018 internal report should have been a wakeup call that prosecution has changed over the last two…
Boston isn't perfect but they have clearly figured out better ways to prevent homicides than what we have in DC. Their police, prosecutors & probation agencies have prioritized Focused Deterrence of the small number of gangs that drive most violence. (1/ ahdatalytics.com/dashboards/ytd…
It's also incredibly frustrating that instead of making helpful legislative suggestions on how to prosecute more cases; like clarifying our UUV statute (cc: @dclawsense) Graves is focused on his continued crusade against the YRA & IRAA.
This USAO presentation includes many of their usual spin tactics. Here they show a "large" # of Federal cases without the context that these are a miniscule fraction of MPD's arrests. The USAO declines to prosecute far more cases than the few they take to District Court. (7/
Everyone covering the USAO should be on alert that they have a clear political objective to make themselves look good. The USAO has been caught presenting wildly misleading and outright false stats in order to cover up their disastrous drop in prosecutions.
