New work by Luis Seoane Estruel and Tatiana Andreyeva of University of Connecticut about the infant formula shortage.

It doesn't need a fancy name, such as "critical race theory", to decode what President Trump is saying. Ordinary Americans of any race, ethnicity, or political party can hear his old-fashioned racist thinking about African American and Hispanic folks. It is plain.

The Trump tariff roller coaster

Now sitting in Union Station in Denver, waiting for a late evening train, pulling together travel clips for an episode of the mock travel and tourism show, Lifestyles of the NOT Jet Set. Episode 21: Unburdened. #AAEA2025 #flyingless youtu.be/Vvy0p3crSig

¿Es realmente la Coca-Cola mexicana más saludable que la de EE.UU.? - BBC News Mundo Desde que Trump le pidió a Coca-Cola que utilice azúcar de caña en EE.UU. en su icónica bebida, es la pregunta que muchos se hacen.

In this conversation with Rafael Abuchaibe of BBC Mundo, for an article about sugar and corn syrup sweeteners in Coca Cola, we found ourselves discussing some of my favorite topics: nutrition, food policy, and the environment. Colahttps://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/cwy39nlyjxpo

At #AAEA2025 minutes ago, Brian Roe gave a scholarly and witty Presidential Address on endogenous preferences (for example if GLP-1 drugs change tastes for food). In Q&A, folks saw this would force a profound broadening of the economic theory of social good. www.aaea.org/meetings/202...

At #AAEA2025 yesterday evening, @jo-swinnen.bsky.social from IFPRI gave the Gordon Rausser keynote address, describing bleak trends in democracy, economic freedom, agricultural productivity, and food security worldwide. Depressing? No. Hard truths can be inspiring. www.aaea.org/meetings/202...

Travel to #AAEA2025 in Denver this week, on foot and public transport from our front door, Chicago Union Station, playing cards while crossing the Mississippi, and hiking the Flatirons.

Excellent lively book collaboration led by Imre Szeman and Jennifer Wenzel, with forward by David Nye and a chapter by Dustin Mulvaney. My chapter is titled, "Airplane."

Record flights? Now? After the pandemic? And no mention of the climate emergency?

It's not about telling reporters what to write ... just about acknowledging relevant context that is central to the impact of this article topic.

Such a great year for him with both Andor and Murderbot (ha).

Mayor Wu and Sen. Markey are wonderful leaders on these topics of local transportation, green jobs, and resilience!

At some point, will Boston ever include aviation in its official greenhouse gas account? It seems misleading to leave out Logan Airport.

"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.

When Alex Jones falsely claimed Sandy Hook was staged, we recognize him as evil.

Butler conspiracy theories are cruel in the same way to the family of firefighter Corey Comperatore.

Your use news sources such as Reuters and Rachel Maddow, who report truthfully about this attack.

The Trump assassination attempt was real.

It's not just sources I trust. Sources you trust also corroborate the Butler assassination attempt was real.

Was this post sarcasm or humor?

Colorado Attorney General @philweiser.bsky.social is one of the people defending the rule of law of the USA. Feeling patriotic!

There is no escaping this message of kindness ... on Fox News ... in movie theaters ... even places of worship.

This week, Bill McKibben's Substack newsletter covers the Texas flooding tragedy, of course, and also energy provisions of the Big Beautiful Bill, a Republican legislator's climate perspectives, a surprising appointment as an IPCC chapter lead, and a wealth of other climate and energy news.

In the spirit of acronyms for country groupings such as the G7, OPEC, and BRICS, we may need one for the large coalition that may come together to resist Trumpian extortion and trade more with each other.

Perhaps: Federation of Independent Nations Everywhere (FINE).
