Also correlated: AOC is not funded in the same way the other pols are. She’s not just an individual exemplar but an example of an alternative business model for a US Politician.

The thing I love about these pieces is no one cares this lad has a Nobel prize. Like it is not even mentioned.

I am rewatching Buffy with my 14 year old episode by episode. Tv today is so much better but Mr Giles as Punk Rock ‘ripper’ is something I’d be here for.

It’s so interesting how few acts really understand the assignment. Finland not one of them.

Approximately 2 shipping containers of pennies- 140m dollars. Endless annoyance caused by paying for stuff in pennies- priceless.

Yes—it is great fun but also why you don’t see social scientists on those banned skill export lists

Teaching CS as social science and within it is really interesting. It’s like putting a motor inside the usual social science stuff. They can *do* things almost immediately and survey the consequences.

Policy matters, folks. Bad policies like Brexit have long lasting negative effects.

Great to reconnect with fellow @UL Alumni based in the capital and meet new faces at the Royal Irish Academy last night. Big thank you to @stephenkinsella.bsky.social for the brilliant insights (and hope!) on where the economy is headed and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Was in Washington this week, and it was brought up, totally unbidden. Apparently it’s on a list of the world’s worst logos somewhere!

Tbf university logos aren’t great either. Here’s the new-ish one of mine. You rotate it 90 degrees left and, well, yeah.

Thanks for ruining my enjoyment of corporate logos, Katie.

For no particular reason, it might be a good time to repost my Starter pack of academic economists who study international trade

I'm really glad @unioflimerick.bsky.social has taken the decision not to post on twitter any more. I have not been there since 2023 but for some reason I find my institution leaving it somehow sadder.

Still, it is for the best, and we move on.
