How Paul Krugman changed the public face of economics He's a great economist, but he also changed how we talk about the subject.

Very nice post by Noah Smith about my favorite subject: Me! www.noahpinion.blog/p/how-paul-k...

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

two posts from threads first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken. second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K. Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104. Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure. Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.

Pour un étranger, il y a un énorme plaisir à lire les bobards réciproques de français figés dans une racisme anti-algérien et d'algeriens incapables de se construire un autre roman national en dehors de leur lutte pour l'indépendance.

Ça donne l'impression de lire deux fous bornés sur un sujet.

On social media, the #DRC Congolese, although they can be very radical and interested in a very sickly and clumsy way in Russian manipulation via Wagner, are and remain very prone to bite very easily at a representation of their imaginary in Western codes.
CQFD

As an additional part of a study in anthology and communication to measure which of the Russian, Western, Chinese and West African softpowers could extend its hold on the big #DRC market, a friend has just launched 4 fake profiles on a platform.
The first outcomes are impressive.

Congo, Rwanda sign key agreement to advance peace process in eastern DRC The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, with Angola's mediation, signed a key peace document on Monday to address the conflict in eastern DRC. Despite ceasefire violations by the M23 militia, whi...

Il faut dire la vérité aux gens du #Congo #RDC : les accords entre #Kinshasa et #Kigali n'engagent pas nécessairement le #M23, quoique armé et soutenu par le #Rwanda.
Et, comparé à la menace de brouille constitutionnelle par #Tshisekedi, le M23 est un détail.
Focus on #DRC parliament.

Il y a pire: profiter d'un conflit importé, pour continuellement accuser un voisin au service du néocolonialisme, afin de modifier la Constitution et se maintenir au pouvoir.
Ce n'est pas parce qu'un voisin tue votre frère que vous devez en profiter pour déployer l'inceste sur ses filles vos nièces.

The majority of #mpox cases in the DRC in the past few weeks have been children. They are more likely to get severely sick and die. But they are not eligible for the vaccines being rolled out.
