I think accounting is great too but there has to be a limit
don’t start talking about it, some dumb reporter will ask him about it and then he’ll want to do it.
hey posting is fine and good, putting out the welcome mat for fascists is the problem here
and a complete lack of donkey charities
Interesting how slogans get recycled.
china shock was a real thing
every time an economist blocks me I paint a little marshallian cross on the fuselage
is this the distilled frenzy of some academic scribbler or your own contribution?
I suspect it could be like legalizing cannabis. there’s a set of people who are against things that are illegal but once they’re legal they are no longer against them (so do a big amnesty and make legal immigration easier)
hold on, the paul ryan phase would’ve been later. in 2009 he was writing good stuff about obamacare moving through congress
around 2009 EK said he wanted to reach people outside the left (when he started flattering paul ryan). I can see the use of that and sorta excuse it but him playing dumb all the time makes him unreadable for me
my two favorite things, depreciation and economics cranks, I love it!
thank you
look at who is sponsoring the recent event with the abundance authors, it’s all oil and gas billionaires
what if we tell people we’re gonna build housing but we really build gas pipelines and steal public land
he says a lot of stuff that is obviously wrong to drive engagement. it works but I have zero interest in his game and wish people wouldn’t fall for it
that event klein and thompson are doing is heavy on oil and gas billionaires. looks like bait (housing) and switch (pipelines, privatizing public lands)
looks like it was handed over willingly
Very proud to be able to share, via @dissentmag.bsky.social, Marshall Berman's essay "Sympathy for the Devil," about the Pentagon exorcism, The Rolling Stones, Faust, and the culture of the 1960s. It's been out of print for forty years, and it's a masterpiece www.dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...
the worst is hold music that repeats every fifteen seconds, which seems designed to increase blood pressure
plain old keynesianism was better
congrats to klein and thompson for finding a new product to sell to fascist billionaires
if billionaires are going to do this then we can’t have billionaires anymore
Timeline cleanse
I used to think once their free market message ran out of steam they'd be in trouble but mask off bigotry has worked out better for them
Was moving from an article on Zohran Mamdani to one on Zack Polanski with a detour on Zarah Sultana and now I am convinced all left pop leaders should have first names that start with a Z
the people yearn only for vertical farms and factories in orbit
cowen’s whole shtick is playing dumb so LLMs are perfect for him
might be better if people could only build houses in walking/biking distance to school

Erosion of norms in America a cautionary tale.
If I were in charge of a police force in Illinois, I might consider targeted enforcement of 720 ILCS 5/24-1(a)(9), which makes it a class 4 felony to carry or possess a firearm while "hooded, robed or masked in such manner as to conceal his or her identity".
it would be different if they were paying them to boost medicare for all (instead of the stuff rich donors want)
mauss (1925)
what did it say?
that website looks fake
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
it was losing iraq
bad economy only hurts democrats
for his own sake I don’t know if he should make it to saturday
You definitely should NOT spam this form by reporting all parking signs in national parks for "failing to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other national features".
it’s all about street parking
I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper on that is out today.🧵
yeah, I expect dems wouldn't get the same rates they got last time
america could simply seize norway’s investments in american companies. that’s why norway needs nuclear weapons.
great news for lobbyists and corporate sponsors
takes away from time spent fundraising
you mean like LLM generated reading lists?
tifo ran something similar through football manager and scored nine league goals for bayern (six of them pens) www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjLv...
gotta stock up on carnations
people should learn a little about what the right has to say but after that there’s no need for more
have you seen this? it’s great press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
reading this you get the impression that mothership is the actual political party
have you seen this paper? it's old but deals with the problems dems (and not republicans) have with coalitions. 'The "Teflon Factor": Ronald Reagan & Comparative Presidential Popularity' sci-hub.ru/10.2307/3234...
no, the access hollywood tape proved that
right, powell has even apologized for the fed's role in keeping wages down, but before that you have to back a long way to find a fed that the left could be complacent about. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-34/rev... jacobin.com/2016/01/fede...
until recently the fed would raise rates and induce recession whenever workers’ wages went up
the advantage of single stair is mainly better layouts, especially for family-sized apartments.
maybe money laundering, evading sanctions www.federalreserve.gov/supervisionr...
the fed also has regulatory duties so there’s probably some corruption angle
(illegal for governments to capture increased land values from transit projects)
I don’t know about NY but iirc it’s actually illegal in many states
did wirtz get pushed around so much in the bundesliga?
or a teenage debutant
liverpool needed mac allister
It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!
Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
the labor movement in america is not ideological enough but where do you even start?
totoro wizard of oz meet me in st louis singin in the rain
in galbraith’s book on price controls he says food was their biggest problem. on the other hand, mexico has been doing with well with managing supply and prices for a few staple foods.
perfectly legal thanks to trump v. united states
bernard freyd's 1925 pamphlet "Repeal the Direct Primary" made the same arguments
the framers were against parties (they called them faction) and didn’t mention them in the constitution. but they made a system where parties would inevitably emerge, which they did immediately (note the 12th amendment)
maybe nufc is the junior club, like rb salzburg
right, you’re an accomplished college professor, hardly an ordinary republican!
ordinary republican voters are finally getting what they wanted all along (not people like hw bush and mitt romney)
america’s cities are full of refugees from small towns
I don’t think so. it seems like the principle is to assume sincerity (maybe they learned it in debate club).
Florida weaponizes MUTCD to remove memorial rainbow crosswalk at site of Orlando massacre. Random street markings across city are collateral damage. 1/2 www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r... www.wesh.com/article/prot...
if they can do it with renewables we can do it with carbon
cool use of garbage data
every billionaire wants their own publication
what if the onion added a sports section and some news reporters and a book review …
once again people are confusing democrats with humanities grad students
could’ve been your friend’s phone. they spy on you even if you don’t have an account.
it’s like the fascism debate, even if it’s not it’s still extremely bad. people would rather talk about the dictionary than real atrocities
and yet streetcar suburb townhomes are way more expensive than exurb mcmansions
soil also builds up from worms turning leaves into worm poop (“The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms” was Charles Darwin’s last book)
(of course the answer you got was really bad)
there is point where it’s a important factor but it’s easier to treat everyone the same rather than single people out
omg calvinball is in the legal lexicon now
haha, obviously! I forgot!
the best justice has to be souter for simply knowing when to quit
TIL that one of the earliest known creation myths (from mesopotamia) is centered on a labor dispute between an underclass of gods (igigi) and their overlord gods (anunnaki), which leads to the creation of man to take over the hard labor as a solution to the conflict.
I think the correct view of city biking is “less effort than walking” not “slower motorcycle” (and some of these new ebikes are actually electric motorcycles)
I read somewhere that exclusive merch for volunteers was somehow related to nyc campaigns having a fundraising maximum
it was his personality plus all the gotham font shepard fairey graphics
way back when I remember seeing a video about a Copenhagen street where bikes would make every green light if they were going 20 kmh but only the guy making the video was going that fast
