NEW: This morning, the Trump admin is set to start the process of refunding $166 billion in illegal tariffs. Many questions await this new, hastily assembled system, including how easy it'll be for business -- and whether they'll share refunds with consumers

Esta foto también nos habla de cómo ha cambiado la cultura del evento. Bowie no llenó el Calderón en su 1ª vez en España. Costaba 3.000 pesetas, un 7% del salario mínimo mensual en 1987, similar al 8% que en 2026 suponen 100€ para uno de los 10 Metropolitanos de Bad Bunny.

It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.

It might be my "non-R1 mentality" at play, but I always find it incredibly useful to spend time with tasks that many probably outsource to research assistants. E.g., a deep dive into the data (and cleaning) teaches a lot about the possibilities and issues for the empirical analysis

It’s all well and good for tech leaders to endorse UBI. But it feels convenient to only focus on a distant political prospect. The GOP, right now, is doing reverse-UBI (work requirements on SNAP). It’d be nice to hear more objections to that.

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

Un problema del análisis de alguna izquierda es que a menudo confunde conservadurismo y reaccionarismo, convencida de que "democracia" son unas políticas concretas, cuando en realidad son unas reglas de juego. La democracia solo es formalidad. Como la civilización. El triunfo ha sido histórico.
