Hoo boy. Feral emeritus prof here (possibly an idiot).
1st, h/t @70sbachchan.bsky.social 2nd, possibly a long 🧵.
Political economy used to be ”critical” (of capitalism) bc most folks in that space came out of Marx or american institutionalist like T. Veblen and J. Commons, less so F. Knight 1/n

Feral idiot grad student question: is the difference between "political economy" and "critical political economy" basically whether you think capitalism is good or bad? Sorry to be glib but sometimes academics seem to label something "critical" when they mean "has a spicy take" and it's confusing

Wow, great for aurora bad for telecomms
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

The long read: When Donald Trump set about dismantling USAID, many around the world were shocked. But on the ground in Sierra Leone, the latest betrayal was not unexpected

Isao Takahata is so brutally straightforward--you are guaranteed to cry bucketloads after seeing this movie.
Damn I started thinking about Grave of the Fireflies and now I am sad. Just the basic message re: these children couldn't possibly be responsible for the scenario they found themselves in, adults created a world that condemned them to a slow and lingering death, and what could possibly justify it?

In my field, this means no funding for fieldwork-based research for international students. Possibly, the trend will move towards more quant-oriented work (which has been the case for some time anyway) using existing datasets or some AI-incorporated data collection that speeds up the process. 1/2
I know there's a lot happening today, but this is sneaking in under the radar. This proposed new rule would absolutely crush foreign PhD students, potentially making it impossible for them to enroll with any certainty of their ability to finish www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Cuneiform is massively important to the argument over the history of money, with direct relevance to the question of money as debt or a commodity, which has bearing on monetary policy today.
There will be many casualties from UChicago ending ('pausing') PhD admissions in Humantities, but one which I am keenly aware of: this is close to a death sentence for teaching cuneiform in the United States (esp. Sumerian, Hittite, Elamite, Eblaite, Luwian) and it will affect the whole world.
“Chicago has long helped to keep alive tiny fields & esoteric areas of humanistic study... Without the univ’s support, & the continued training of grad students who can keep these bodies of kn going, entire spheres of human learning might eventually blink out.” www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
