1.NEW ARTICLE. Fresh out of the oven, I want to share my article on “neoliberal populism” just out in out in Global Perspectives. I analyze the ideational origins of Peru's resilient neoliberalism in the 1980s. Here a free access to the article (for a month). online.ucpress.edu/gp/article/d...

what a bonkers state of affairs!

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy. I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all. Out in October with Random House.

I love this, very impressive.

@mattbors.bsky.social i was just looking to a link to the phrase "we should improve society somewhat" and google just gave me a number of garbage links; maybe consider making some landing page for your 2020 book which also links to more recent things?

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

a lot of “i refuse to know what a clavicular is” posts from parents on here - sorry but i truly believe it’s in your best interest, unfortunately, to keep up with the online culture shaping the world you brought your children into

No publication gives me more hope that we (people!) can make the world better and fairer and kinder than Hamilton's newsletter.

It's easy to forget that most people don't know that power will be free (or even sometimes negatively priced) when it's very sunny. I have also been arguing with the China team about what a power market even means. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The gcc source has some good finds:

If you've never listened to The Bugle before this would be a fantastic place to start. Not only are @zaltzcricket.bsky.social, @alicefraser.bsky.social and @natogreen.bsky.social as funny and intelligent as ever, but hearing Nato talk about finding hope in the world was wonderful and very moving.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

i think if one were to make another technorati, a quarter-century on, one would use rss + bsky / atmosphere. rss (still) to grab article text and links within posts, atmosphere to find inbound links

so, most people are aware, but if not: to say someone is "low iq" is to say they are a good candidate for eugenic elimination. it's usually but not always racist ("the bell curve" etc). it has no place in a humanist repertoire

#3 and #4 will make u mad (they made me mad)

This weeks episode of @thebugle.bsky.social podcast was needed for my mental health. Spending time with the brilliant and hilarious @alicefraser.bsky.social and Zaltz is a salve. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

If you have Hungarian friends, please check in on them. Netflix has nothing on this election campaign: a twisting spy scandal, Russian meddling, Orbán off the rails. And we still have four days left. I wrote a (still slightly incredulous) rundown 👇 brettoninthewoods.substack.com/p/inside-hun...

"Croesus then asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians he would destroy a mighty empire."

"extremely funny to get this *so painfully wrong* when your whole thing is pretending to be an economist on Substack" - @alexjordanatl.bsky.social

i appreciate @quinnslobodian.com’s willingness to look closely at the loathsome; the “neurocastes” chapter of hayek’s bastards was hard enough to get through, & the latest “after order” episode predigests the musk phenomenon in a way that makes it go down easier open.spotify.com/episode/1Vrw...

You know who is excited about tonight’s Artemis 2 launch? Commercial pilots who might get a chance to see it from the air.

Saying "look, the moon!" is an admirably primordial gesture of distraction it's true

Great thread about the source for Claude Code’s CLI being leaked due to a misconfiguration. Includes analysis of the many ways that the code is a mess. The mess is so extreme that it's essentially its own coding pattern. Much hilarity, starting April Fools' Eve: neuromatch.social/@jonny/11632...

It is hilarious to me that "letting in cheap Chinese EVs and batteries is vital as a matter of national security" is now broadly true worldwide.

it is funny that the individualists (libertarians, ancaps, etc) feel the need to organize, to have conferences and meetings and such. almost as if they live in a society

For non-space people who follow me, the Artemis 2 mission with four astronauts to loop around the Moon is on track, with countdown started to liftoff at 6:30 pm Eastern on Wednesday.

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

sometimes it seems that intellectual history is just a sorted list of who published and edited what journals

I have seen lots of enthusiastic posting about what a great idea this is. And don't get me wrong, I get the frustration with electricity prices spiking so high when gas prices rise. But so far I've seen far too many half baked solutions being thrown around that don't really add up. 🔌💡 (1/12)
