My Favorite Actress Is Not Human Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable tweets, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI, writes Tyler Cowen.

This report on the way heterodox economists were treated at the University of Manitoba is absolutely infuriating

'We want them off the payroll,' Met chief tells BBC after secret filming exposes officers' misogyny and racism
Sir Mark Rowley insists he won't resign - adding that in the Met it's "the misogynists and racists frankly who want me out".

Interesting one for @dsquareddigest.bsky.social: who should be accountable in this situation?

Well yeah, the burden of proof rests on the person claiming the matrix is relevant to trade in reality, not on me to prove that it isn’t!

Shockingly, this point was anticipated in the video. The Portugal-England history raises issues like development of industry over time, terms of trade, and finance - all of which are absent from ricardoβ€˜s matrix.

The lesson is, as always, don’t read the comments!

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who could take €1bn hit, says proposed 2% levy β€˜aims to destroy liberal economy’

Oh fuck. Well I hadn’t thought of poor Bernard Arnault. Forget the wealth tax, people, it will cost him over 0.5% of his fortune!

A meme. The picture is from a football game: Man City vs Liverpool and the score is 1-1 Diogo Jota slides in to score at the goal line as the City keeper loses control of it.

Jota is labelled 'reality' and the keeper is labelled 'neoclassical economics'
