Die Bundesregierung wird die nicht hinreichend gefüllten Gasspeicher zukünftig mit der heißen Luft befüllen, die Merz, Söder, Reiche, Spahn & Co. täglich produzieren.

Stark contrast to the gerontocracy that is the US Congress. already visible in the campaign posters in the last four weeks, but now it’s clear “the average age in the new Folketing is 43.9. The youngest ever,” especially “young women are storming the parliament” (in Danish) www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Kluge Regierende würden die fossile Preiskrise als Schub für die Dekarbonisierung nehmen, um so gleich mehrere Probleme zu lösen. Leider betreibt die aktuelle Bundesregierung eher aussichtslose Gegenwartsverlängerung und tut so, als könne man stets weitermachen wie bisher.

Maybe ICE can also do air traffic control

How can this go on for another 3 years?

3/ 2 wars in 4 years. This war will accelerate Solar +Batteries + EVs as real Energy Security "rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels & the whims of idiots" Be like Spain. bsky.app/profile/jere...

The sky is not falling; high-quality platforms (Prolific, Verasight, CR Connect) have low rates of apparent bots. osf.io/preprints/ps... But also not zero; vigilance is very much needed!

At the moment it looks like the Greens will hold on to the prime minister office in Baden Württemberg. But, once again, what a disaster for the SPD

My favorite Danish election poster, so far #dkpol

He seems like the only international leader with the guts to stand up for the right positions. And he is widely successful (so is Spain 🇪🇸). Maybe some of the other left-party/liberal leaders should follow his example instead constantly bowing to the right & Trump

Hot damn! We won an award. Bartelme and Smith, along with John Dell’Osso from the Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa, won the A-Mark Prize for Investigative Journalism for “Power and Polo.”

life must be beautiful when you are too dumb to realize your own stupidity

And yet, Bild will somehow figure out how to blame the Greens

Maybe it should be made clear in the headline, that yes, they did in fact start war...

This is definitely well planned and thoroughly thought through, probably by Grok

Remember when candidates were campaigning on avoiding unnecessary wars in the Middle East?

I’m sure the best minds in the world have thought about what comes next.

Building 👏 more 👏 housing 👏 reduces 👏 housing 👏 prices 👏 Even when the new housing is more expensive, it lowers the cost of the pre-existing housing, as richer people move out of older housing into the new ones.

Das Team ist tot. Warum auch immer, aber da geht nichts mehr

FWIW: Claude Code's sandbox doesn't cover its built-in file tools. It only restricts Bash commands. Read, Write, Grep, and others bypass the sandbox entirely, gated only by permission prompts. In dangerously-skip-permissions mode, those prompts go away too

The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Presidents who violate the Constitution should be impeached and removed from office.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Intrinsically, I think a) thinking up good questions and b) executing on them with good approaches is HARD. I have not seen evidence that LLMs do this without prompting and guidance from a human agent. But I have friends who disagree!

The only comment I have on the Rubio speech is that I don’t want to spend too much time on the Rubio speech. Nothing is changing with regards to US policy. We don’t need to do a line-by-line analysis.

How does the saying go? — ‘watch what I do, not what I say’

Russische Propaganda in Deutschland: Am Montag jährt sich zum zweiten Mal der Tod von Alexej Nawalny. Ich nehme das und den geplanten Start von Holger Friedrichs Propagandablatt #OAZ zum Anlass, auf zwei Akteure genauer einzugehen. Einer ist #FlorianWarweg, der im September 2020 twitterte… (1/x)

We should tax private jets to the max

This was a really fun conference, w. great papers and presentations. And at a time when the news always seem bleak, it also provided some hope. Across a number of countries, the CRS/AEoI have had strong effects, decreasing offshore secrecy - showing what's possible with international cooperation

1/ Big news! Today, we officially launch the International Tax Observatory (#ITO)🚀 Building on the foundation of the EUTO, we are expanding our mission to address global tax evasion, wealth concentration, illicit financial flows & the intersection of taxation & the environment.

Very happy to have had the chance to present our work (w. @mattcollin.bsky.social & @szakonyi.bsky.social) on the effects of the Economic Crime Bill and its beneficial ownership transparency on secretive real estate ownership in the UK.

🧵 New version of our paper (@bcegerod.bsky.social) is finally online: "How Many is Enough? Sample Size in Staggered Difference-in-Differences Designs" We show that even well-identified DiD studies are often underpowered; sample sizes needed are surprisingly large Paper: osf.io/preprints/os... 1/6

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

Big story based on @acdatacollective.bsky.social collaboration!

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

The Spanish government’s policies largely look like what you would expect/want from a left-party government. And: “Goldman Sachs recently described Spain as ‘Europe's fastest-growing major economy’ […] outpac[ing] Germany, France and Italy since the post-pandemic recovery.” A model, if you will
