I am always floored that we have made so many advances When I was in Pharmacy school (1970s) nearly everything was on the macro level Bu the time I graduated with a PhD in medicinal chemistry ( 1995) we were a microlevel and now beyond Fascinating how tech has aided these advances

Immigration policy now resembles the Drug War. All the stuff ICE is doing right now is straight Drug War policy. It is no coincidence that the most fraught stops is the automobile stop. Charles Reich was right way back when: yalelawjournal.org/essay/charle....

Maybe we'll soon get better microlevel data that shows specific individuals who voted for Trump really were materially worse off. If so I'd be glad, bc we won't have to dispense with all of our core theories about political economy & retrospective voting. But that's not what the data so far suggest:
👇🎯 People simply believe materially false things about the economy right now. @prowag.bsky.social & I just surveyed 2000 people in 🇺🇸 last week & found exactly the same thing. 45% said they didn't receive Covid checks. 40% think 🇺🇸 is in a recession. 44% think inflation stayed the same/📈 in 2024. Etc.

We propose a spatiotemporal causal inference framework that fully leverages microlevel, granular data. ATE, heterogeneity, and mediation — all in one framework. Now with updated results and visualizations!

Spatiotemporal causal inference with arbitrary spillover and carryover effects: Airstrikes and insurgent violence in the Iraq War
Social scientists now routinely draw on high-frequency, high-granularity ''microlevel'' data to estimate the causal effects of subnational interventions. To date, most researchers aggregate these data...

People get confused because there is a microlevel household phenomena where your house goes up in value, but your life doesn't really change. But that's not true about the aggregate stats.

i think a majority of americans are spoiled and think our way is law, even on a microlevel due to this veil of "freedom" that's touted about.

Dodgy data, ratios, aggregation, residuals (TFP). None of it helps. I'm all for measures at the microlevel.

I don’t read literature because of the color of someone’s skin. I read literature because it’s good. I read literature to learn. I read literature to enrich my life.
Who cares? Let’s move on and treat people with respect on a microlevel.

Nah shit used to have me and my hgs TIGHT ! Had to channel that energy into tryna make as much change as possible at least on a microlevel and hope each one reaches one to make a significant difference
We really don't discuss how high levels of awareness will have you angry. I'm angry at my family, angry that ICE is killing people and getting away with it, angry at everyone who voted for the shitshow we're in, angry at ppl who didn't vote at all, angry that veterans are homeless and dying.

the cumulative effects of layers and layers of shock stressors from climate change to Trump to the pandemic etc, like the systems collapse theory of the Bronze age, but instead of at the societal level, at the microlevel where individual minds lose their prior organization

The only questions the big network journalists seem to have:
* how long will the war be?
* gas prices?
* will you apologize, because someone is mad?
* how was your trip?
It's all microlevel questions. Get into macrolevel questions. Dig into visions and what's driving them. Ask followup questions!

Thinking of pacing on a more microlevel within scenes, I love using line breaks and shorter sentences to increase the pace/tension at key moments. A CP also had a countdown interspersed with small actions that blew my mind. I emulate that sometimes too! #kidlitchat #MG

I don't know why the Dems always stop talking about things that are working. The Dems backed off when the GOP was running away from P2025 because it was that unpopular. Microlevel, in MN I've heard very little from our Ds about Metro Surge and allowed the GOP to push it out of sight and mind.

It is irrelevant to the issue of identifying a real pattern that there is a way of completely describing the causation at a microlevel. All that matters is that the macrolevel description is compressed and has predictive power--again regardless of the microlevel description.
