Saturday links

I am back to trying to share some links. Here’s just a few. They’re random as the last several weeks have been exhausting.

First up is a bummer but the Pentagon can’t find evidence of an alien coverup. NYT.

Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul on Netflix for an undisclosed sum. I bet it’s going to be a massive payday for both.

John McWhorter says don’t worry about ending sentences with a preposition. The prohibition is fake.

Twin study shows evidence for trauma causing long term mental health problems, unsurprisingly.

One of my favorite econometricians is Sophie Sun and she along with Ben-Michael and Feller have a new paper on synthetic control. I will try to read it before next weeks synthetic control workshop (famous last words).
