Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Congestion pricing works! Not really a surprise. Now I hope we'll do it in Barcelona too🙏 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1/ I spent 2025 reading about reactionary thought. Then I realized: the rhetoric never changes, only the target. Logged 21 books across multiple languages this year. Some reflections on the ones I keep thinking about. Full post: bit.ly/4aPWG5P 🧵

New study in Nature on the Long-range PM2.5 pollution and health impacts from the 2023 Canadian wildfires www.nature.com/articles/s41... 'We find that 354 million (277–421 million) people in North America and Europe were exposed to daily PM2.5 air pollution caused by Canadian wildfires in 2023'

“The (climate) transition is deeply political – a struggle of competing interests over its pace, direction, and even possibility.” — @laurencetubiana.bsky.social Her words echo our research with Dror Etzion and @joelgehman.bsky.social on robust action. www.linkedin.com/posts/fferra...

Very interesting model, which I hope will grow more across Europe. A ‘Third Way’ Between Buying or Renting? Swiss Co-ops Say They’ve Found It.

I am a huge fan of "what is this kind of argument and how can you do it right?" papers. I collect them and I've tried to write a couple, and think they can be tremendously useful especially for teaching. A new, useful addition to this set just arrived from @sociologicalsci.bsky.social:

The @economist.com must live in an alternative universe where the Partido Popular is “moderate” 😂 and the confrontation was caused by Pedro Sanchez (and not the PP who has mounted a lawfare campaign)! 🤬 Spain’s scandal-plagued prime minister should step down economist.com/leaders/2025...

Important findings for those with ME/CFS. Let's hope that more research might help find a cure as well 🙏https://on.ft.com/3J1vFjX

Honored to see our research with Matteo Prato cited in @economist.com AI talent war article. We found hiring “stars” can actually hurt team performance—especially for non-stars—as stars often absorb more resources than they share. www.economist.com/business/202... doi.org/10.1287/orsc...

and the most published one of the new batch is a statistician who famously wanted to go for herd immunity instead of vaccines 🤬

I am watching Andor - a Star Wars spinoff - and in one of the episode the Empire create a situation where protesters and poorly trained young soldiers are put in the same small square. A powder keg which predictably ends with violence...eerily familiar these days 😡

Good review but the author could have noticed the irony that Trump is the product of this unholy alliance between antielites and ultra-elites! The rich, the ultra-rich and America’s shifting political landscape - on.ft.com/3FKSirx

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

“The strongest demand for stocks seems to be coming from retail investors in America, who like to “buy the dip”. Some of them could be allowing their investment in Mr Trump at the ballot box to cloud their financial judgment.” If this true it will crash again… economist.com/leaders/2025...

I hope the Catholics who voted for him are happy now.

Interesting reflection on the need to accompany national competition in green technologies with global cooperation to solve shared environmental risks, and avoid mercantilism (a major challenge today given the protectionist push of the US).

Top Venture Capitalist Says AI Will Replace Pretty Much All Jobs Except His, Which Relies on His Unique Genius

I still cannot believe this is happening 😡😡😡

Of course it had to be a finance professor 😂 and just threw out there random claims without bothering to check his claim with scholars who actually know something about it.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

I've never been a Treasury secretary, so what would I know, but I reckon transparently lying about easily checked facts won't calm fears in the market, or the broader population.

The "Moron Risk Premium" explains well what happened yesterday on the market 👍

So they put him there, now they sue him...

As NASDAQ opened, nice to see Microstrategy (Bitcoin), Tesla (Musk) and Palantir (Peter Thiel) leading the #TrumpCrash @teslatakedown.com

I hope margin calls starts hitting today for him and other enablers!

5:50 pm PST: Japan’s banking sector in free fall. Complete meltdown across all major financial institutions with 14-17% drops not seen since 2008 financial crisis.

So we will have a #blackmonday after all...considering the desperate pleas to calm we heard over the weekend from wealth managers it is not surprising. If the crash spills over to private credits, margin calls will start to hit. To be honest I would not mind to see a few hedge funds go bust!

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Wedbush’s Dan Ives, one of Tesla’s staunchest defenders, slashes his price target from $550 to $315. “.. the brand crisis tornado that has now turned into an F5 tornado. We now estimate Tesla has lost/destroyed at least 10% of its future customer base .. and this could be a conservative estimate.”

😂

I believe @pemalevy.bsky.social is right. This is about power and corruption. I hope that EU and China will not bend the knee, and exercise the influence with other countries who do (China has already moved in this direction).

If Trump is willing to hurt the economy, he must be getting something he wants even more in return. That thing is power. With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years. Read @pemalevy.bsky.social.

“Harvard now faces one of the most consequential choices in its history: Submit to extortion and make itself complicit in the most profound assault on academic freedom and constitutional governance of our time—or go to court. The stakes are high, but the choice should not be difficult.” (Fixed link)
