Disheartening to see anyone taken seriously who says US (or California) oil production protects consumers from Iran war impact. Producers argue world market sets the price. Correct! Oil price reflects value, not proximity, as recent gasoline price jumps show.

I would add only to Dean's points about Hegseth's lack of strategic clarity that Anthropic, right now out in front in supporting enterprise computing and in safety, is a particularly foolish target.

The Israel Institute for Advanced Studies, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is once again planning its long-running summer school in Economic Theory (which was skipped last year, amidst war with Iran...)

Possibly. Pretty high overlap. At least we get to choose!

Anti-fascism should have broad support across the American political spectrum. Elections need to be defended. Here's an open letter from retired professors at HBS in which we call for business leaders to address that need.

Deep breath.
I'm honored and excited to join the faculty of America's oldest research university, Johns Hopkins.
I'll start this summer as a full professor, one of the founding faculty at the brand-new School of Government and Policy.
We're building something unique & important, even historic.

Yes, I am an old guy. To be clear, I am not nostalgic for the amateurism. I liked USA-underdogs today and in '82. USA liberal democracy changing to authoritarian state, that I mourn. Gotta get that one back. 2/2
22.02.2026 19:52 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I watched the Miracle on Ice live in '82, in which amateurs from a liberal democracy beat paid "army officers" from an authoritarian state, with great national pride. Seeing Kash Patel, US authoritarian, in the locker room today was not the same experience. 1/2

Mildly against. Name labels students carry to their seats are better. For large classes, picture day holding up your name. Many benefits to Prof knowing who you are, however achieved.

My menchies show a lotta distrust about the official jobs numbers right now.
Lemme be clear: I don't believe there's *any* political meddling in these numbers.
While the President has tried to mess with the BLS, he failed. I explain in a lot more detail, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kncV...
Person who was fired here - you should still trust BLS data. The agency is being run by the same dedicated career staff who were running it while I was awaiting confirmation from the Senate. And the staff have made it clear that they are blowing a loud whistle if there is interference.

Football, pretty insipid. Best part was the flicker of competition from NE in the second half.
Ads, mostly murky attempting quirky. Redfin selling neighborhoods an exception.
Half time music terrific, blend of history, culture and energy.
