Bets on how SCOTUS will rule on Trump’s tariffs?

Somehow the autism question is now about something that women do, when the only known causal association is something that men do - have kids late in life, with women who may or may not be much younger.

Why the heck do I get so many cat pictures in “Discover.” I’m not a cat person.

@epsanet.bsky.social Excellent conference at Carlos III, but to whoever decided on the numbering of the rooms: the whole point of integers is that they’re consecutive in an agreed upon order

Reminder that US imports are only ~13% of the global total and that this isn’t the end of the world unless you’re in the US (or right next door)

I really hope that nobody complains about APSA being held in Vancouver this year as opposed to somewhere in the US.

I’ll admit that when my son was six and we made our group chat for the soccer parents, we accidentally added the President of a third division Spanish club but he thought it was very funny

Nine months from acceptance to proofs. Proofs arrive on Saturday afternoon with a 48h expected turnaround by the authors. Academic publishing is just strange.

The general policy is what Trump had promised, but why Cubans? Isn’t there the Cuban Adjustment Act and isn’t that Rubio’s base? Every Cuban I know who left is staunchly Republican www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Guess what, that was one way to get news in Cuba that wasn’t government propaganda when you couldn’t afford internet

😁 Polish Foreign Minister on Orbân's idea regarding Ukraine: Interesting to see EU poll on Hungary's EU membership

Germans tend to be complacent until things get really bad and then turn everything around. Putting a trillion euros into defence and infrastructure feels a bit like when Klinsmann and Löw were appointed in 2004. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Why is it cheaper to see a Raptors game than Jordan Peterson what is this nonsense

Why do European leaders even talk about peacekeeping troops? Who said peace was on the table? Why don’t we keep arming Ukraine until they decide they want to stop fighting? Trump and Putin are playing us.

I have a feeling that when the American people come to their senses, Musk will flee to Canada where he’s still a citizen

If it’s any consolation, French X is just as filled with vile neofascists as American X

Having just returned a Chevy rental car, I suspect that “getting Europeans to buy more American cars” is still going to be a challenge for reasons unrelated to tariffs

The story that the far-right is only strong where there are few immigrants and in deindustrialized areas is no longer true: The AfD is the 2nd or 3rd biggest party even in parts of Berlin and in the wealthiest parts of Germany on.ft.com/4hSNwWz

Too many people here think that the surprising strength of Die Linke, a party that opposes any aid for Ukraine and that has fond memories of the GDR, is somehow reassuring.

Most of the valuable natural resources that Trump demands Ukraine hand over are in territory under Russian control or close to the front line. If you want them to need to fight Russia, not suck up to Putin.

In my political economy class I used say that presidentialism is inherently prone to instability and autogolpes, except in the US but no one knows why. That class will basically teach itself now.

American exceptionalism on display. I guess this is a major sporting event but it’s really only 30 seconds of action spread over four hours.

EU membership for Canada could take a decade - but we could join Eurovision next year

Could we now agree that voters as retrospective and poorly informed is a very plausible assumption

The heightened border security is already having an effect: Canadian officials are apprehending more people trying to enter Canada from the US www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I don’t like these comparisons with the Nazis. The Nazis felt the need to pass a law authorizing them to dismantle the Weimar institutions.

Not the banks. Let's give him something else, like opening up our dairy market to please Wisconsin. I much prefer boring, stable banks... @mcopelov.bsky.social x.com/brianlilley/...

ChatGPT doing deadpan humor: "While Spain has had delays in some major projects (e.g., Sagrada Familia), these successful infrastructure projects demonstrate strong planning, financing, and execution in Spanish public works..."

Our provincial Premier has just called an election, and right on time, every taxpayer receives a $200 cheque in the mail. Political business cycles exist! Also, this isn’t about Trump or tariffs. The logistics mean that the decision was made months ago.

Econ textbooks are full of proofs by contradiction, yet such proofs are the least pedagogically useful.

An indisputably positive masculine trait is stoicism; to be able to suppress your feelings and the instinct to seek flight when called upon, like when your wife wants to go see musical theatre

Advantage of TikTok: teenage boys learn how to fry up eggs and cook basic healthy meals Disadvantage of TikTok: teenage boys fry up six eggs every morning because some guy on TikTok says it’s great for getting ripped. Throw in egg price inflation and you have a political effect.

The IMF outsources its data provision to Microsoft, and as a result, the most important data sets it provides (International Financial Statistics and World Economic Outlook) are no longer available via the SDMX API. Well done.

I urge you to read and share this bizarrely titled piece by Peter Thiel, friend of Musk and influential investor. I’m not left wing and yet it’s more worrying to me than anything Trump has ever said. When people tell you who they are, believe them. on.ft.com/407WVSF

Latin America has enriched humanity with an incomparable corpus of music that in its entirety just about compensates for the “Feliz Navidad” song by José Feliciano

If it’s crocodile in English and cocodrilo in Spanish, is there also a language in which it’s “cocrodil…”?

Just over 1% of the Canadian population will have seen Taylor Swift in concert this year.
