How far back do you go? At the risk of being purged, I thought his blogging as a grad student ~2008/2009 was quite good and I don't remember seeing much of a sign of things to come.

There's nothing special -- Zotero embeds all the metadata for the citations in the document itself, so you can just copy the sections authored by author B into the document authored by author A.
As @evangelinewarren.com notes, the same work cited by both authors will show up twice in bib.

So to confirm, yes you can. What's a little awkward is that you can't update the metadata of the citations your co-author added in Zotero (e.g. to fix typo in title) or vice versa.
That's why working in a joint group is better if you remember to do so from the start

I make a Data Sources Catalog for every project I work with and I can't tell you how often the project team refers to this document to remember what measures are being collected and when. I highly recommend summarizing your plan in a simple format like this.

Ironically, given it appears in a thread about pseudo intellectualism, this is not something Einstein ever said. It's not even clear he believed it, given that the theory of relativity is quite hard to explain in simple terms

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

One sign of US political polarization is that Congressional Rs thought "We're going to sink Larry Summers; that'll show the libs" was a great idea.

I recently discovered Conventional Comments (conventionalcomments.org) for providing a pseudo-standard set of labels for feedback and just tried it for an article review and it was really helpful to specify issues vs. thoughts vs. suggestions, etc. Hopefully it's helpful for the authors too!

Think piece about how Gilmore Girls did to aspiring journalists what West Wing did to aspiring political staffers.
A writer friend of mine described the emergence of the 'memoir by a 25 year old' phenomenon as involving just out-of-college aspiring writers going somewhere in the world—somewhere exotic, maybe somewhere dangerous—just to accumulate material for that book. It's not impossible

Yeah they don't work well for me either (one is for the citation/note, the other for the bibliography, citation crashes, bib doesn't work right.)

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated
