I assume you assume things will get back to normal in 3-4 years.

Even though it has its moments, the colour scheme is still garbage, and the y-axis is all wrong. I don't like it

What is this garbage?

Warsaw in June

OUR LAST TALK OF THE TERM is on Thursday, 12 June 2025.
👉Tommaso Denti (NYU)👈 will present "Understanding information acquisition through f-informativity and duality," with Alex Bloedel and Luciano Pomatto. Guest Panellists: Weijie Zhong and Annie Liang.

Early June 2025 update. Big Musk-Trump fallout. Maybe less obvious is that Trump's project is running out of "intellectual" steam. From now on, it's more of the same but with less and less capacity to shock. Ok, I'll keep it at 2/3 L and 1/3 M.

The recording of the talk by Dean Yang "Ancient Epics in the Television Age: Mass Media, Identity, and the Rise of Hindu Nationalism in India" (with @pbrimble.bsky.social, @resuf.bsky.social, Akhila Kovvuri & Alessandro Saia) is now available at our YouTube channel: sites.google.com/view/polecon...

is there a technical term for a "own the libs coalition"?

Maybe it's a different trend, and I am not ashamed to be a part of it.

I don't think it progresses uncorrected. It just slows down.

The US importing stuff from other countries is "ripping off" America. Therefore, the minerals deal just signed with Ukraine is ripping off America.

True, but being pedantic: By the same standard, Nantes was German for a few years.

Early May 2025 update: Some headlines are hitting the wall (Putin war); an important long-term fight crystallises (internal security apparatus, media, judges); and the economy is quiet before the storm (tariffs). It is still 65L-35M.

Vatican is a state, isn't it? So it'd be surprising if they didn't have a criminal court

It's a stretch to conjecture that this economic model caused Trump. Democratic backsliding and kleptocratic episodes happen in other less successful economies. Other explanations are simpler: obsolete constitutional order, media-naive society, political dysfunction, bad luck
