Nation Can't Believe It On Harvard's Side

I'm thrilled to have been published in Past & Present.

Diving into the fractious politics of rich-country macroeconomics after 1973, I use the neglected case of protectionist Keynesians to rethink what happened, and why. I highlight statecraft, geopolitics, and Maier's 'territoriality'. (1/2)

An old tweet: whoever loses the Liberty Bowl between Kansas and Arkansas has to agree to the other state's pronunciation of "—ansas" for the next 365 days

It’s official. Arkansas beats Kansas and Kansas remains “Kan-saw,” following up on Arkansas’ wins in the 2022 Liberty Bowl and 2023 NCAA Tournament. Two more wins in a row and it becomes permanent

My emergency Baja Blast had a pinhole leak.

I mean, the GOP base did try to kill all of them like four years ago

This Jeffrey Epstein influencer stunt is so tasteless. His address book has been public info for years. Its contents are available on Amazon. A Maryland auction house tried to sell the original thing last year.

There were real victims here. Leveraging child sex abuse for a photo op is gross.

Mere moments until we learn the identity of Kendrick’s special guest

Have you read Long Island Compromise?

That is a fine looking skillet. r/castiron would be proud.

So much of this cultural shift discourse reminds me of the propaganda campaign against opponents of the Iraq War

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Sports dad in the making!

How did he perform?

Massive away win for the little fella.

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:

- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania

- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir

- he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post

Don't know if #HogsBluesky exists yet, but I look forward to future lamentations.
