Look, y'all know I hate AI as much as the next passionate hater of AI, but ChatGPT has nothing on the University of Oklahoma deciding that based on the first amendment students can literally say anything in their papers as existential threat to the university.

I'm thrilled to have been published in Past & Present.
Diving into the fractious politics of rich-country macroeconomics after 1973, I use the neglected case of protectionist Keynesians to rethink what happened, and why. I highlight statecraft, geopolitics, and Maier's 'territoriality'. (1/2)

It’s official. Arkansas beats Kansas and Kansas remains “Kan-saw,” following up on Arkansas’ wins in the 2022 Liberty Bowl and 2023 NCAA Tournament. Two more wins in a row and it becomes permanent

I mean, the GOP base did try to kill all of them like four years ago
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This Jeffrey Epstein influencer stunt is so tasteless. His address book has been public info for years. Its contents are available on Amazon. A Maryland auction house tried to sell the original thing last year.
There were real victims here. Leveraging child sex abuse for a photo op is gross.

So much of this cultural shift discourse reminds me of the propaganda campaign against opponents of the Iraq War
There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:
- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania
- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir
