Shani nailed it. For Israelis, econ twitter is relatively the safest place on Twitter. But that's easy. For Israelis today, even EJMR is less toxic than my Twitter feed.

@nookyelur Very strange interpretation of the situation in Israel. Ever since Oct 7 people have been volunteering to help one another, regardless of political agendas or religious level. By and large, solidarity is at its peek.

@CaltechEconThry Not to discourage, but is that really what we need though? How about a measurement of journals based on things we really care about: turnaround time, fair treatment, free open access, added visibility (above what the paper would have got in a different place), etc.

@NickArnosti Another good question is how many of us are going to read this polished and oh so improved version? I already read this paper quite a few times (and enjoyed it and taught it), and I wouldn't bother reading it again. So much work (I assume), but only for future generations.

I've been spending too much time on Twitter (clearly, every time here is too much time). But the same things are always evident: 1) People are seeing whatever they want to see. 2) People are (by and large) idiots. 3) Antisemitism is very real, much more than I knew.

@aaliyamkhan Keep saying "genocide", wouldn't change reality: it's a war against Hamas, in order to return hostages captured and eliminate further threat. Casualties are horrible, but Palestinian civilian population is not the target.

I mean, I do understand they are trying to protect free speech. But come on. At the very least calling for the extermination of your fellow students and faculty should be off limits. This looks like the worst possible satire on the state of high education.

@ben_golub Just to counter your last point: excessive effort is required from non-native English writers for first submissions due to this unholy association of language and contents. A lot of us waste countless weeks a year because of this added challenge. Hopefully this will be improved.

My undergrads this year are struggling like Iโ€™ve never seen in a decade of teaching. I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re lazy or in any sense worse than other cohorts. My best guess is covid shutting down high school was very bad and there is basically scarring. Anyone else seeing this?

#EconTwitter A suggestion: let's reduce our review times collectively! Also, like if you have at least one paper which has been waiting for review more than 6 months. And comment if you think you have the longest time since first submission! (I have 8.5 months). Happy new year!

Following a conversation with a colleague regarding Milgrom's work: I just want to say that I don't think I saw anyone mentioning the ingenuity of the economic argument behind the linkage principle. I recommend Milgrom and Weber (1982) to everyone - it's truly a must read. 1/5
