The Legitimation of Shareholder Primacy is now published in the Journal of Corporation Law!
Unlike the draft version that's been online for a while, this final version includes a discussion of SB 21 and other recent developments.

It would, of course, be great if the underlying results were made public but it looks like meta in 2019 ran withdrawal experiments to examine polarization and well being ahead of forging collaborations with academics. Seems like more than enough to design bias the collaborations towards nulls 🧵

This is just a bunch of nostalgia wrapped up into a scrappy lower-decker bundle.

Major sources of hate speech are located outside the US. Well yeah, we have this conversation every few months. And every few months people reject the bright shiny evidence that easiest way to ruin America is to feed the hate and bigotry that already exists here.

One of the most important things that happened in the 20th century was that mankind learned to read. Literacy rates went from 20% to over 80%. A man who can read is halfway toward being free.
Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

Most people commenting on this are correctly pointing out the many MODERN pop stars who have transitioned to movies, because they've apparently never seen "The Manchurian Candidate" or a fucking Road picture.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Among other things, you cannot win over ideologically committed fascists by saying you are going to address their legitimate concerns (unclear whether this works for “protest votes” either, but probably with a different mechanism.)

It feels like it takes different strategies to deal with support for fascist parties driven by cynicism/disaffection vs that driven by straightforward ideological embrace.
But I bet the commonality is something like “know what you believe in and actively contest for it.”

❗ Our findings show that AfD youth support is not only strikingly stable, but also closely linked to #partyidentification and #nativist attitudes - pointing to broader partisan realignment and #normalisation underway (rather than 'protest' voting).

13k comments on one tweet is a massive payout. All of the tweets follow a certain formula, so the content is likely automated using AI technology (e.g., AI generated images and text). Basically running it as a money printing machine. But for those in the US, it translates to low simmering rage.
