I can’t stop laughing about the fact that the NYPD made a super-sized model of the OUP short book. I’d love to know how that meeting went. “Is this big enough, sir?” [A nervous intern holds a big but still plausibly sized book.] “No, bigger yet. Menacingly large. Bring it to me.”

I assume ordinary sausages are made in a manner all would enjoy seeing.
Governments can do more than calling out shrinkflation: South Korea cracks down. The government set up a price-investigation team for daily price checks on staple items. Producers of food & daily necessities must inform shoppers if they reduce the product size or face fines.
Es laufen jetzt seit 7 Monaten Flächenbombardements ziviler Ziele, das bewusste Kappen der Versorgung mit Nahrung, Wasser und Medizin, gezielte Zerstörung von Krankenhäusern und Massenerschießungen von Nichtkombattanten, es gibt zig Statistiken und Augenzeugenberichte
This discussion about whether the US should seize Russian assets reminds me of the discussion about whether torture was justified. Rule of law only for the friends. Economists are all too happy with that

Der Cold War Liberalismus hat sein progressives Erbe ausgeschlagen. @samuelmoyn hält diese Entwicklung für umkehrbar – dabei wusste schon Marx, dass der Abschied von der Aufklärung eine Folge des entwickelten Kapitalismus ist, schreibt @Weller_Maurice:politischeoekonomie.com/liberalismus-o…

NEW 🧵: American politics is in the midst of a racial realignment. I think this is simultaneously one of the most important social trends in the US today, and one of the most poorly understood.
Zum verzweifeln ist, dass Wirtschaftspolitik von links bis rechts weiterhin in den Kategorien des Standortwettbewerbs diskutiert wird. Nicht Investitionen, Produktivität, nicht Wachstum oder Nachfrage – um das Konkurrieren um transnationale Unternehmen und Exportchancen geht es.

climate doomerism is basically entirely correct. no government is competent at dealing at issues of that scale, the current effects driven by human activity are being understated, and very little work is being done to make agricultural economies more resilient in affected areas
this is why when athletes train they ignore any defects in form and just do random movements of their limbs until becoming michael jordan
One of the most under-the-radar contrarian idea Peter Thiel ever articulated was that failures teach you nothing. Just think of how much mythology exists around justifying failures as “oh well I learnt this and that”. It’s practically a PMC shibboleth to “learn from your…
