Trevor Phillips grilling Rachel Reeves felt pointless. What was the point?
Why do journalists hunt for hits instead of doing real interviews? Journalists chasing “gotcha” moments instead of actually interviewing is exhausting.

✨ Had an incredible time @kilkenomics.bsky.social Festival in Ireland! A privilege to learn from brilliant panelists & a curious audience. We explored big questions:
The Economics of War
J Milei, Miracle or Mirage?
Booms, Busts & Bailouts
Grateful for the conversations that challenge & inspire!
Join Us at SASE 2026 in Bordeaux!

It is absolutely fantastic. ✨ @kilkenomics.bsky.social should invite you as one of the speakers!
We didn’t! I’d never missed an opportunity to meet you. I didn’t attend HM this year. I attended a very different ‘conference’. 🫣👀

If 1000 billion dollars for a single human beings work really makes you think about the labor theory of economic value AND the madness of economic reason, do I have the essay for you by @cacrisalves.bsky.social. What Would Marx say?

Alberto! I’m honoured with this mention. Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it… you was in my mind when I decided to give the ‘polycrisis’ angle. You and @phenomenalworld.bsky.social.

Weekend read?
In honour of D Harvey’s birthday, I revisit Marx, Capital & the Madness of Economic Reason. I challenge the ‘polycrisis’ narrative, focus on capital & use a physics analogy to explain value.
Happy birthday, David Harvey! 🎉🎂

I couldn't agree more. It's both infuriating and disheartening to see journalism reduced to chasing clicks and scandals in any field, often at the expense of substance and genuine informative value.
