It's Nobel Prize week! A good time to remember that the economics prize was created by Swedish bankers in 1968 (67 years after the 5 original Nobel prizes) against the wishes of the Nobel family, partly to legitimize neoclassical economics in the public eye and partly to help banks avoid regulation.

I love going back to cities where my ties are still strong, even after all this time. And just spending the whole weekend biking, walking, and enjoying a walkable liveable environment with my friends on the last days of summer. Nothing beats it

Cool new AER paper uses data from Clean Air Act offset markets to assess the efficiency of air pollution regulation. The analysis finds that marginal benefits of abatement exceed mean offset prices more than ten-fold, across most regions and pollutants.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."
The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

Nothing sums up the current political climate quite so well I think. I think civility is particularly prized, as generations of Americans have been moving towards this right wing extremism that requires a base of complacent people, with aggressive leaders

The Civility Trap: Why Being Nice Makes Things Worse
On September 10, 2025, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested we should give homeless people "involuntary lethal injection" or, as he clarified, "just kill 'em." This happened on national television.

How is it cheaper to become a certified installer and install your own PV system in the US, than it is to get it installed. This is an embarrassment honestly. No reason a home pv system to cost 4$/w

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵

Man I decided to watch the old naked gun 33 1/3 in honor of the new one and I forgot how much of the humor has not aged at all. The trans punchline at the end is fucked up. Makes me sad

You ever have those months where you just want to be a gremlin and disappear, where it feels like all your friends are living lives without you, and nothing will ever change that
