Also the $20 billion Argentina received from the IMF in APRIL and seems to have already squandered propping up the peso gets only passing mention in paragraph 20 (!)

Hard to cover everything in one article, but you'd think a piece premised on how the bailout will succeed only with a Milei victory in the midterms would at least note the, uh, recent internal developments that make that surpassingly unlikely (Espert, polling, veto overrides, general immiseration).

For Bessent’s $20 billion bet on Argentina to pay off, a lot of things have to go right.

The problem is that in Argentina -- a nation with a track record of squandering other people’s money and defaulting on its own debts -- those things have tended to go wrong.

I'm starting to work on designing my "Archaeology and the Public" course for next spring. Does anyone have syllabi, assignments, or lesson plans they'd be willing to share on the subjects of public arch, collaborative arch, pseudoarch, or journalistic & pop culture depictions of arch?🏺 #academicsky

Hace poco cambiaron las condiciones de servicio (bsky.app/profile/agel...) pero también se ha metido mucho en los LLMs (bsky.app/profile/wolv...) ... la verdad me desagrada pero también el sitio tiene sus usos.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Ugh! I know the feeling—I've had that account since 2012 and it's been useful, esp. for sharing with LatAm audiences. But don't think I'll be uploading anything, even if I can't quite bring myself to delete it yet. Time will tell if Knowledge Commons becomes a viable alternative, I suppose.

A request for help. I am looking for article-length examples of historiography that takes place and built environment seriously. I don't think exactly architectural history, but emphasizing people occupying and using particular places. This is a methodological example for an undergraduate project. 🗃️

It’s official! We’re launching the UCLA Department of Labor Studies. After years of building as a small but mighty “program,” Labor Studies has been elevated to departmental status. We’re the first but hopefully not the last of our kind in the UC system.

The UCLA Labor Studies Department is the first of its kind at the UC
