Flagging this for my corner of Bluesky: I'm shocked, shocked to find out that Federal Censorship Commission chair Brendan Carr has been less than forthcoming in his most recent financial report.

🧵Alert: The backstory on this story may interest you. Or it may bore you. Either way, here it goes. I first asked the FCC for Chairman Brendan Carr's 2025 financial report on June 24.

Just read the USDOE press release on the McMahon letter, and all I can say is: I for one welcome the introduction of MMT in undergrad macro classes, and anarchist writings in finance.

Update^3: one more subsection drafted. Hoping it's elegiac, but I'll be happy if reviewers think it's purplish prose instead. I just want a reaction!

Update update: the world has tossed me either a Horrible Distraction or a Wonderful Reward: a hint of a working paper with a discussion of causality and a weird bit of finance economics that caught my attention when researching retirement investments. Probably not weird to finance economists

Update: still working on the R&R. In a considerably better mood today, and closing in (so is the deadline). It's now 3:30 on a Friday afternoon and the temperature's rising here in the house (peak electric rates so the thermostat's set higher). Write a paragraph, distract self, rinse/repeat...

Working on an R&R through a miserable mood ... makes the mood less miserable. I had some nice work there on the word-lathe.

Oh no! The invisible bond vigilantes are waiting to swoop once again! 🤣🤣🤣

Warsh said inflation is the top priority, promised to deliver price stability, and struck his most hawkish tone yet. Bond yields jumped to two-decade highs. 🔒 Members-Only

Coming to a state legislature near you: Stand Your Ground-Up Bull Testes laws. (AFAIK the more likely natural sources are yams and soybeans, but Stand Your Ground-Up Soy Boy just doesn't have that ring.)

As part of a new policy that mandates testosterone levels are screened, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said soldiers who qualify would be given the option to undergo testosterone replacement therapy. The policy raises questions among clinicians about the hormone’s effect on aggression in some men.

Why more of us should read John Kenneth Galbraith's novel "The Tenured Professor." What, Galbraith wrote a novel? Yes!

Michael Inzlicht built a career studying prejudice. Then the replication crisis led him to distrust some of his own work. In this essay, he argues that scholars and institutions should draw a sharper line between pursuing justice and determining what evidence shows. https://chroni.cl/3RkSTWP

It's summer. It's late afternoon, when for peak electric rates I set thermostat up a few degrees. So what do I do when I can't think straight? "Oh, I think I'll look up how to get local versions of autoregression." Do I have any background in that? NO! My brain: "Rabbit holes are cool."

Shame, @nytimes.com

I picked up The Black Agenda a few years ago because, well, TMC wrote the preface, and I've been delighted to watch the future Dr. Gifty Opoku-Agyeman get an opportunity to educate us all. She makes me feel optimistic about the future.

ESP dominated. ARG is lucky as hell to come out of the half 0-0.

This is looking like the typical NBA all-star game. Final score is going to be something like 148-136

I hear that while I was adulting this evening, someone was ranting at the sky.

Black Women Just Stood Between ICE and an Old Man at the Las Vegas Airport

I just had a traumatic experience. But I also witnessed courage. At the Las Vegas airport, I watched federal immigration officers attempt to take an older Asian man into custody. I do not know everything that happened before the commotion. I did not see a warrant. I cannot claim to know every legal detail. I can tell you what I saw.
