It was only a matter of time. The Italian government has turned against the universities as well. The pretext is the @unibo.it's refusal to establish a program for army officers. U of B is being described as "the headquarters of a political party." The truth: there is no money to pay the lecturers.

Oxford Word of the Year 2025 poster featuring the term 'rage bait' with an image of a fishing hook, set against a pink and white background.
Oxford Word of the Year poster featuring the term "rage bait." The text defines it as a noun, originating from a compound of the words 'rage' and 'bait,' described as "an attractive morsel of food, on the model of the already existing clickbait." The background is soft pink with abstract design elements.
CONFIRMED: Oxford University Press has named ‘rage bait’ as the Oxford Word of the Year 2025.

When the state limits “unacceptable decision making” by women about their own bodies, both women and the babies they’re forced to have are at increased risk of death. Stock is not a feminist. She’s a death enthusiast.

1/ I recently wrote a review for @hfrancewebsite.bsky.social on Arnaud Orain’s Le monde confisqué: Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude. The book has stirred major debate in France. It’s rare (and great) to see a historian of economic thought in the spotlight.

Discussions touch upon the difficulties of biographical writing and history, the disciplinary effect of economics as well as the blind spots arising from the selection of economists who spoke for, but not to, 'the poors' and marginlized people.
