Here’s what I’d like to see: Harvard, Columbia, Yale etcetera rescind the degrees for any current administration official who works with the government to dictate what these institutions teach. Because you can’t collaborate with domestic terrorists.

sir what you are referring to “left-wing threats” is students and professors exercising their own free speech, which was treated as a national emergency by lazy-brained blowhards in the media, vs. actual censorship, visa revocations, firings and imprisonment only one of those things is a threat.

the way you fix NTMs (among actual trade barriers are the more relevant factor these days) is through negotiation and harmonization. read: agreements. fixing factor endowment and taste differences is a whole other thing, but it's domestic industrial policy. trade wars do neither.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

This is a crossover episode I've thought about pursuing, but the urge has faded and my wallet thanks me for it. Cool, but rare and very pricey in the secondhand market.

Vance and I are the same age. I didn't serve, but he did. I remember the US of 2003. I remember the backlash against Chirac and France. I'm uncertain how he can have such a mistaken memory of events at a pivotal time in our lives, unless he's lying performatively for his own political interests.

In data visualization design, we often assume the goal is to minimise the effort required to 'see' the data. And that adding support a title and annotation is the route to memorability. But sometimes making something more effortful achieves memorability and understanding more effectively...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.
