I know it’s so pedantic, but I hate it when people throw toga parties and then wear a Greek chiton off Amazon with, like, a gold meander pattern. That’s why I always teach my students how to tie a proper bedsheet toga—because Rome.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · yesterdayEverywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.
ICYMI—I think I found perhaps the most underrated @lpeproject.bsky.social article so far. A great piece of LPE & legal history!

Funny, Nico and I were just talking about this paper not long ago! My first publication, and I'm still quite proud of it. Definitely thinking about expanding on the ideas in it at some point in the future.

Read this piece while I was in the hospital and was really blow away by it. It's one of my favorite pieces in legal history this decade.

When we don't adequately fund public universities, and instead force students to take out loans, what we as a society are really doing is borrowing money from the younger generation—their hard-earned future income—to fund a necessary project that benefits us all: building an educated society.

It's a trope to talk about how the young are addicted to devices, but I'm at a cafe right now and the only people NOT on their phones are the teenagers chatting away about nonsense. Every boomer has their eyes fixed on their device, not even talking to the person opposite them!

The hardest thing about being a parent is just all the shit in your life. People give you so much shit and you have to buy so much more, and there's so much you're not allowed to get rid of for whatever reason. Can someone please just take all this shit away from me!? Please?!

I have a new working paper up on SSRN, Tax and the Law of Market Cycles. The core idea is: what if we applied everything we've learned about countercyclical macroprudential regulation to the boom-bust cycles of physical commodities and heavy industries? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This is pretty true. And the version that makes me lose it is "money is just a social construct." It's actually not! At least not in the sense that you can just critique it and lessen it's grip!
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 5d ago"social construct" = "thing I don't like" is a case where the vulgar usage of something isn't actually that different from its academic deployment
Starting to think you could write an entire history of Canadian banking law around the cyclical attempt to contain (without destroying) the shadow banking system.
Canadian Parliamentary Report from 1992 says the proposition of the neutrality of money is "one of the oldest and best established in the history of economic thought."

Very true! The book has some shame but also a real sense of glory and the movie has none of that. Not a critique per se but a notable difference.
paul khruangbin (Dan Lehner)@danlehner.bsky.social · 2w agovery funny that after all the “Emily Wilson is going to longhouse Western Civilization with her woke Odyssey”, Emily Wilson herself is like “yeah, a bit too much ‘healing trauma’ and not enough ‘relishing in the blood of your enemies’ in the new movie”
I was just there, on a day trip after the SASE conference in Bordeaux. Where thousands of academics had gathered (in unbearably hot university buildings). Many (most?) had travelled there by plane. Still thinking that if we keep doing conferences at all, we need much stricter air travel rules.
