Verges on Ai slop.

This stuff is so incoherent.

John Brown and modern racial liberals have next to nothing in common.

Nicole Hannah Jones and Noel Ignatiev do not agree on the politics of race, at all.

As an Arsenal fan, I have always enjoyed our historic rivalry with Manchester Utd.

Above all, I admire its identity as a diverse club with players & fans from all over the world.

Jim Ratcliffe’s comments are a disgrace. Migrants aren’t the problem. Tax-dodging billionaires are.

Just realized that someone would have to be over 70 years old to have seen Tottenham last win the League.

Remembering Kevin Campbell, who would have been 56 today

A true gentleman & a fantastic player

Sorely missed, but never forgotten 🙏

Few things more ominous and infuriating than the European “wake up call” to prepare for a warfare state while cutting social spending alongside a gleeful chattering class which pretends this is a moral crusade against the fascist machinations of the US administration.

If you and Martin Wolf have the same position on Trump, what should you do?

I do follow a lot of economists, so I'm not surprised my feed is dominated by tariff apoplexy.

Too many assumptions that Trump won't arrive at a workable tariff policy.

Too much betting on a recession.

538 was bad for journalism.

That's amazing.

Obstfeld's loyalty to American agency probably isn't just a matter of patriotism. I suspect that it is mainly because for his models of the US economy to work, the US must have total agency, which means, in a globalized world, that the rest of the world cannot.

He cannot consider the idea that domestic saving rates in these countries can be driven by domestic policies and conditions, and can in turn drive the savings rates of the US, even though it is an economy with a totally open capital account, a very flexible and...

So is China's extraordinarily high savings rates, or the moderately low savings rate of the US, more likely to have caused the global savings imbalances? As a good American, Obstfeld cannot imagine that foreigners could determine US saving rates.

Absolutely fucking do this.

The IRS is very effective and we should hire more agents.

(1) Can you relate this to growth in general? Is it because the economy is better under Democrats?

(2) How much do extraordinary events (2008, 2020) result in drops under Republicans?

Look "Trump take egg" is ultimately silly but the core that actually works is

1) people are mad about eggs being expensive
2) associate Trump with the problem and blame him for it

You want the concepts "trump" and "no egg" to be adjacent in people's heads and Trump Take Egg jams them together

Tl;dr the Teamsters are working with Josh Hawley and Cory Booker to try to pass legislation that’ll end up killing strikes and shoving an arbitrator’s contract down the throats newly organized workers.

Year end 2023-2024 showing homicide drop from 7797 to 6520

2019 = 6406, 2020 = 8545

2017 = 6932, 2018 = 6388

2016 = 6957, 2015 = 6296

‼️ THE COVID HOMICIDE WAVE HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED (at least in cities) ‼️

The quietly-released Major Cities Chief Assn violent crime data showed homicides fell by ~17%, to levels below those in 2020; higher still than 2019 (w 2 fewer agencies reporting), but lower than 2016 and 2017.

This is BIG NEWS!

Taking a super nice train in Italy for $45 and thinking of how cool it is that our taxpayer money back home will buy Ethereum to bail out David Sacks.

If you aren't interested in governing, administering real programs, or implementing anything positive, it does give you a hell of a lot of time to wreck havoc.

Mi sensación honesta es que los Republicanos son demasiado fanáticos, incompetentes e idiotas (quizás en ese orden) como para administrar el hegemón global o dirigir un Estado capaz de reconciliar los intereses divergentes de clase del país, tanto dentro de la clase dominante como contra las ...

Rep. Pramila Jayapal is bringing Sara Nelson to the SOTU.
Not the Seattle City Council President, but the flight attendent union leader.

Courts: Strong enough to destroy democracy.

Also, courts: Too weak to save democracy.

Feel like our colleagues and fellow unionists are being DOGEd.
