That was the best regular season baseball game I've ever seen.

What should I put on my new mixtape?

As we say around these parts: fall leaves, winter longs.

One of the houses was a glass house.

Don’t do this

Ohtani is out here touching 100, making the Phillies look like a Little League offense, and making all the "Ohtani should just be a hitter" takes look foolish.

There’s very principled reasons to condemn the killing of Charlie Kirk - freedom to participate in a democracy means not being scared that someone is going to shoot you for what you say. But it’s also very chilling for us who work on college campuses where we’re obliged to uphold speech principles.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Distinguished economists Michael Bordo & Bob McCauley with a stern warning to the Senate regarding the potential for new appointments to the Fed's Board of Governors to undermine the central bank's international liquidity role & threaten the dollar Link: www.ft.com/content/6485...

What other sport can swing like this?

Tuned in for the 9th and now I am pretty sure I'm the reason Yamamoto didn't get the no hitter.

A really well-done new Fed paper by Colin Weiss analyzing the recent central bank gold buying spree, and what this says about the dollar.

David Steinberg (Johns Hopkins SAIS) and I have a new study out in Journal of Experimental Political Science. It is new terrain for us. The upshot: Americans are more supportive of immigration when they believe that immigrants share their partisan preferences. A short 🧵(1/8)

The hot dogs in Cleveland are better (but this place is pretty awesome). Knotted up after 3.

In light of the White House efforts to "fire" Fed Governor Lisa Cook, here's a link to a 2024 study I co-authored with David Steinberg (SAIS) exploring, in part, how diversity in the central bank's leadership impacts the institution's popular legitimacy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

this is true, and to make the point more clearly, the same chart with trend lines.

We still fail to appreciate how significant an event the 2008 global financial crisis was for the trajectory of the world economy.

I know this is a really high-stakes meeting and all, but I still can't get over someone thinking that this is what a mantelpiece should look like.

Here's the record breaker. Jose is something special. What a joy to watch him play the game.

How I coped with the agony that time I assembled my kids' basketball hoop.

New pinned post.

An example of the kind of innovation IPE needs.

Average @mlb.com fan having a conversation about the trade deadline with a @cleguardians.com fan.

Hey @mlb.com: I now get to explain to my kids that one of their favorite players is suspended because of gambling. Meanwhile, every game we watch is full of ads trying to convince my kids that they should bet on the sport. Your decision to get in bed w/ gambling is ruining the sport. Rethink this.

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.

Periodic reminder that this shirt was a gift from @danielmcdowell.bsky.social & you, too, can order one!

This is some wizard logic here, folks. In brief, the argument is: "To protect the Fed's independence, Powell should cave to political pressure." Never mind that doing so would *literally mean* the Fed is not politically independent, but what do I know?🤷‍♂️

9-yo watching an old game show from 1988: "Dad, is this from like 1956?" 😆💀

"Listen bro, I don't have motivation. I have discipline." Ukraine's 2x undisputed heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, with an inspirational post-fight quote that will have to find a home on my office wall somewhere.

Do Markets Value Fed Independence? An Event Study.

The groundwork is being laid for a completely unprecedented (and unjustified) removal of Powell.

Best part of vacation was showing my children no mercy at the rental's foosball table.

Checking in on academics in mid-summer.

"Yah, but there's still no alternative to the dollar." True. And yet, this is a poor (& I worry unsustainable) defense of status quo $ dominance. Trust in the $ was hard earned. You can cruise on a good reputation for a while, but the benefit of the doubt is not infinite. 1/2

"It depends on what your definition of obliterated is."

OMFIF's fantastic annual reserve manager survey points to a slow and steady reduction in dollar reserves in the near/medium term for many CBs (left) This echos the sentiments in the WGC's survey (right). Negative sentiment toward the dollar has jumped in 2025.
