omg I got a new laptop and where the right side “ctrl” button used to be there is now a Copilot button so whenever I try to instinctively ctrl-C or ctrl-V I open Copilot. I want to throw this machine out the window.
You: “It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth.” Me:
As climate change progresses there are actually going to be people who lose big, people who lose modestly but still see a net increase in their standard of living, and people who might benefit. It is going to get harder, not easier, to force utility transfers from the latter to the former.
Abbey@abbeyarletto.bsky.social · 6d agoA bit like saying, in 1939, "Britain can't stop Hitler. Stop trying to resist and embrace the Nazi way of life." Allister Heath is the editor of The Sunday Telegraph.
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN DO THE GENERAL THEORY NEXT PLEEEEASE!!!
Matt Pearce@mattdpearce.com · 7d agoI need Christopher Nolan to keep adapting towering works of literature as a sort of Keynesian stimulus for literary culture.
Look it’s five o clock somewhere I think something similar ought to apply here.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "They just finished Mardi Gras" (Mardi Gras is in February)
I’ve been reading up (OK audiobooks) on Chevron Deference and it’s fascinating stuff. It drives home to me that you really can’t presume expertise in fields far outside your own work. I previously thought Chevron Deference was just common sensical but now I’m pretty torn and I get the difficulties.
Maybe she’s a classicist because she cares about Homer and not just to make money? I’m actually of the school of thought that movies don’t have to be historically accurate. It’s its own art form with its own goals. But you can’t scold scholars for caring about scholarship. Thats what we do.
Michael Speirs@natuphillies.bsky.social · last wk.I'm sorry but your piece smacks of ingratitude. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer your translation has sold ONE MILLION copies, most I contend, due to the pr run-up and release of the Nolan film. You are entitled to your opinion but why bite the hand that fed you? Maybe silence would be wiser?
Good for Fauci. If there was any chance they cared about anything at all besides getting something post-pardon on the record that they could construe in a way to persecute him it might have been worth answering questions but that’s obviously not what this is about.
Econlib is featuring a lot of material on Claudia Goldin and the gender pay gap today, and I find it hilarious that the entire section titled "Is It Discrimination?" does not contain the word "discrimination." The gymnastics around Goldin's work and gender discrimination is always amazing to me.
it’s really nice to have a Maine Senate candidate who is actually focused on beating Susan Collins instead of a walking scandal machine
Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social · last wk.Susan Collins tells us everything is fine. But we know better. Working Mainers are getting screwed by a rigged system, a system she’s helped Trump and her billionaire backers create. In November, we will defeat her. It’s the honor of a lifetime to be your nominee for U.S. Senate.
So many of my projects have emerged from rando archive threads from prior projects. It’s really great to get in that rhythm of building out your understanding of something and it’s great to have a big enough stock of evidence that you can randomly draw from it.
Nathan Tankus@nathantankus.bsky.social · 2w agoOne of my favorite things is pulling the perfect quote from notes I took researching a completely different topic three years earlier. Quoting an LBJ tape I listened to November 2023 ,researching the Fed book, for the OMB series. catalog.archives.gov/id/205706314
Is it time to eliminate entire fields of knowledge I don't personally like? Just asking questions. Fascist questions.
Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 2w agoThere's an irony in the fact that, to make her argument that Sociology has sacrificed science for activism, Ms. Paul cherry-picks quotes that support her views. 1/
Anyone on here speak Afrikaans and willing to check about a page of translation? I think it’s pretty smooth, just Google translate and a little Dutch I’ve got under my belt but it all makes sense in context. I just want a human in the loop!
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism
If he’s got in mind something like “if we have the capacity to save X lives but don’t volunteer to do it we aren’t by definition responsible” then fine, but if you were delivering food and medicine AND STOPPED of course that’s on you.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2w agoFuck you, Ian Bremmer, you abject ghoul.
If you’re not 50/50 on this you’re not being serious. I don’t know what the hell is going on and neither do you and of course it’s possible but we just don’t know. Every extra day I think it’s more likely he’s brain dead but on life support otherwise why hasn’t we seen something, anything.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2w agoJust checking in, but people don't *actually* believe that Mitch McConnell is secretly dead, right?
Reading theory. It’s probably been two decades since I cracked this bad boy open.
Sorry to hear this, Robert was a good economist and a decent person. He should have had longer.
Monique Morrissey@moniquemorrissey.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm sad to report that Robert Blecker died early this morning of cancer (Jane d'Arista, shown next to him in this picture, died recently as well). He was a progressive economist and wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend to @epi.org.

Matías Vernengo@nakedkeynes.bsky.social · last yr.I had met Jane at the New School as a graduate student. Here I’m next to her (just left), and Robert Blecker on her other side in Dec 1999, when I was assistant director of CEPA (now SCEPA)
Awful news, I hadn’t known he was sick. Blecker was my history of economics professor and my heterodox macro professor at AU. He was the one that recommended me for teaching the undergrad history of economics course. A great guy and very supportive.

“If we’re not careful we will end up with what the great writer Toni Morrison called ‘statist history.’ And it will creat what she called ‘sanctioned ignorance.’” A righteous defense of the craft and the profession of history. Watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=mbz2...
