The real question is why economists don't acknowledge work in other fields.

It's one of the first things the Ukrainians wanted (because of how long it would take) and Biden and co. rebuffed it because mwah escalation

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.

You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

this may be a case where not even critical unanimity is enough to get the Academy to watch a five-hour movie, but I hope the NYFCC and LAFCA wins will get more people to watch this gripping, sobering, essential film

‘No one knows where it came from’: first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk for 400 years Cameras capture lone creature collecting materials for its lodge in riverside nature reserve

Some good news.

“A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since beavers were hunted to extinction in England at the beginning of the 16th century.”

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Why would it be a shame?

Wait, what? My son’s friend, traveling in China, is staying at a hotel chain called ‘James Joyce Coffetel’, and instead of a Gideon Bible, they leave a copy of Ulysses by the bedside.

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Hi Sam,

Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

No one mouthes the messages of Russian influence operations more loudly or consistently than Elon Musk. And note how he refuses to talk about his regular direct talks with Vladimir Putin, which as a top secret security holder he is obligated to report to USG, but does not—ever.

“The cost of gas piped into people’s homes rose by 11.7% in September, compared with a year previously”

“A key accelerator of gas prices in the years ahead will probably be Trump’s enthusiastic push to export gas”

Image showing AVE train with headline that says "Spain set to cut Madrid-Barcelona rail time to under 2 hours"

It would take 2 hours and 20 minutes to travel between Boston and Washington, D.C. at this speed.

This country is so behind, it's laughable.

New data: ICE arrests surge as agency chases Trump quota They're way short of the quota. But the numbers have skyrocketed in 2025.

Don't go to the The Dicksucking Factory, buy local

Kind of funny how conservative olds basically reject the idea of a society as a compact between generations.

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

I’m pro gondola becuse I’d really like to see the parking lot developed. Currently, there’s no bus line in Elysian park or even bike lanes, getting housing and retail here would change the game. I think it is pretty silly we have to a Rube Goldberg Gondola to get a giant slab of asphalt developed.

I was 19 when I asked that my BART parking lot be turned into housing. It was a pipedream. @alfredtwu.com made a drawing of apartments here that caused a neighborhood freakout. I met @libbington.bsky.social and she organized the area pro-housers. At 29, it finally begins.
