Good bit of analysis here. Trump's chaotic approach to introducing, repealing, and reintroducing tariffs may undermine exactly the business confidence needed for big US auto to invest in re-shoring - and bring on a recession instead of creating jobs www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow. I wonder if I should risk visiting America in the next four years or not? Have these border denials and arrests really become as common as the news suggests? Does anyone else have a story to share about getting stopped at the airprort? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

Fascinating Atlantic article on patrimonialism as Trump's style of authoritarianism: "running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business." Vulnerabilities: incompetence and corruption--this is a message Dems should hit back with.

“Why don’t you wear a suit?”

The war on social science advances in the US - what was that line from the Simpsons? “Let’s all go burn down the observatory to make sure this never happens again”! www.science.org/content/arti...

NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from extremist groups, misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated. 🧪

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Wow! A pre-planned lynching - they invited him onto US national TV to supplicate himself, and then yelled at him for 20 min when he wouldn’t do it to drown out his basic common sense point - how can you trust any ‘deal’ with an invader who has broken every peace treaty? With no security guarantee?

And while Trump is busy embracing Putin openly on the world stage, he’s also gifting him a wealth of sacked ex-intelligence officers www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Really interesting recent work on cities and loneliness coming from HKU, finding that urban density can increase loneliness. Very relevant to HK. I wonder though if this density effect changes in richer and poorer parts of the city? #urbansociology bulletin.hku.hk/cover-story-...
