I followed quite a few economists on XTwitter, but few of them have made the transition. The same for some journalists. I guess it is a high threshold for changing the platform if you already have built up a large following.

Årets Nobelpris gick till utvecklingen av kvantdatorer.
Vill man lära sig mer om kvantdatorer, så ordnar vi ett seminarium om bl.a. annat det ämne i morgon 8.10. Man hinner ännu med. www.fysikersamfundet.fi/hostseminari...

Drone attacks on Russian oil refineries have led to a gasoline shortage in Russia and Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. Fuel supply disruptions caused the number of gas stations selling gasoline to drop by 360 locations (roughly every 50th station)🔽

Om man är nyfiken på kvantdatorer och vad de kan leda till i framtiden, eller vad syntesgas eller power-to-X-teknologi kan användas till är man ännu välkommen med på Höstseminariet 8.10. Det är för sent att beställa ätbart, men man är ändå välkommen att ännu registrera sig.
FSF och Finska Kemistsamfundet rf ordnar ons 8.10.2025 kl 17-20 ett Höstseminarium i Vetenskapernas hus, Kyrkogatan 6, 00170 Helsingfors. Syftet är att ge inbjudna talare en möjlighet att på en allmän nivå ge en överblick över några av de hetaste forskningsområden inom fysiken och kemin just nu.

Väldigt gärna skulle jag delta i detta seminarium men tyvärr är jag just då på arbetsresa så det går inte. Men den som är intresserad av vetenskapshistoria och fysik ska inte missa detta! Gustaf Gabriel Hällström råkar dessutom vara min farfars farfars far. Seminariet är tvåspråkigt.

🚨 Fuel crisis in Russia:
- 38% of refining capacity offline - 2.5 million barrels/day.
- Ukrainian strikes directly responsible for 1.7 million barrels/day - 70% of offline capacity - 25% of total refining capacity in Russia.
- Supply is now just 80% of domestic fuel demand.
💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery.
Refining capacity: 300,000 barrels per day, 15 million tons per year.
The 5th largest refinery in Russia accounts for 5% of total refining capacity.

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons.

Hegseth puts us all at risk
Why put all the American commanders in one room?

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night TV show will return to the air less than a week after the Disney-owned ABC network suspended him 'indefinitely' over remarks about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. on.ft.com/4mnbkDr

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Trump promised that tariffs would lead to a big increase in US production at the expense of imports, and at the same time generate enormous tax revenues. Critics replied that it had to be one or the other. So far, revenues are the clear winner. w/ @theboysmithy.ft.com @robarmstrong.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING: With around 25% of oil refining capacity destroyed by Ukraine, Russia will have to reduce crude oil production by closing oil wells because there is no place to store excess oil.
Imagine that - Ukraine has forced Russia to reduce blood oil production funding the war.
