For Jacobin, I sat with @michaelpettis.bsky.social for a long conversation about the global trading system. We talked about his influential framework for understanding imbalances, hashed out some of our disagreements, discussed the role of finance and remedies.

Dedication stone recording the building of a temple at Eboracum (York) to the Egyptian god Serapis. Dating to AD 190-212, it was set up by Claudius Hieronymianus - legate of the VI Legion. Part of the collections at the Yorkshire Museum in York. #EpigraphyTuesday #RomanBritain

Wir gedenken heute des hl. Óscar Romero (1917-1980), der als Erzbischof von San Salvador den Armen zu Recht verhelfen wollte, gegen die Gräueltaten der Militärs predigte und deshalb am Altar erschossen wurde: „Dies ist die große Krankheit der heutigen Welt: Nicht lieben können.“

These books were literal “page turners” for me but also frequently upset me so much that I wasn’t able to sleep that night. Liked the class consciousness and central role of left politics in these novels.

Noticed this touching charter at the back of the “maternal and child health handbook,” issued to parents for each child in Japan. The gap to reality brings tears to one‘s eyes but it’s amazing this was proclaimed in 1951. Inconceivable in today‘s discourse.

Very thought provoking and enlightening. I think I disagree though: in the face of bad options, postponing or simply buying time is sometimes the best choice even if unsatisfying. Also ppl’s attitudes are shifting so what’s impossible today may not be so tomorrow.

Eerily relevant and current. Also a good reminder to try and not let your superego beat you up too much …

Looking at a billboard written in Katakana at a stop light. In Japanese, Katakana is used to write foreign words but the script can only express a few hundred sounds so foreign words get invariably butchered. Some sounds are chopped off, others added.

Made it (thanks to the dictionary functions of the e-reader) through my first French book. It is a number of observations made by the author during her trips to the supermarket, ranging from relatable to insightful, in diary form. I enjoyed this one. I seem to have similar thoughts while shopping.
