Spain, Spanish history (particularly the Civil War). UPenn, Michigan, ICADE: econ., IR, law. Sergei Eisenstein and motorcycles. Jack (Handey) of all trades, master of none.
No glasses so watching the eclipse vicariously. At least I have an IRND (still risky for the camera)
Cool study by @corinnelow.com with Nava Ashraf, Natalie Bau, and Xiaoyue Shan on how teaching girls negotiation skills can benefit them & where they live. Research was done in Zambia, benefits were 9x cost, as girls stayed in school longer & married later. knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/how-...
How Negotiation Skills Empower Girls

Having car trouble in the middle of nowhere of Morocco is on the Adulting Exam. I passed, of course.
Up before dawn: Europe to Africa by car/ferry/car and no naps. And we still put here clownin’.
Mamá’s hand on the way there, daddy’s arms on the way back
Told some 🇷🇺ns to turn their music down (nobody else on the beach is playing music; it’s anti-social here). They were annoyed. I explained I can bring my speaker down and do the same and that they wouldn’t love what I played. We’ll see how it goes. Gotta get my 🇺🇦 playlist ready. Siloviki go home.
Finally on vacation. Crazy year so far. More in September, but, for now….
The best kind of work from home. And a siesta in its ideal form.
We had to come down to Madrid. This little squatter thought he had the place to himself. My 4yo is inconsolable that I took him outside. “I’ll never have a pet!”
Work for 60 Minutes in 2026? Yes, you should definitely Douthat.
The town where I took this video this afternoon, Peralejo, is now being evacuated.
