I second @riazsascha.bsky.social and @pengzell.bsky.social. Bought an M3, 16G Air last fall, thinking that if I ever reached its limits I could just run those jobs for little $ on eg. Google Cloud.

The satisfaction of scribbling a little square under a proof that took you way too long to understand makes it all worth it.

A classic and more of an essay, but I recently enjoyed Max Weber's Science as a Vocation.

Seems like MIT is getting an easy out:

J.D. Vance Wanted to Tax Universities Within an Inch of Their Lives. Instead, We Got … This?
Yes, some schools will have to pay more endowment tax. But this isn’t nearly the bloodbath the vice president hoped.

If the day job you are vacationing from is reading political science, then fair enough. In my case, I am vacationing from PowerPoint and Excel, hence I am actually looking forward to some gentle brain stimulation. But fair enough, point taken.

I'll try this again:

What is the most important paper in political econ (broadly defined) published in the last two years that I should read?

I'll be on vacation next week so I have plenty of time to read.

What is the most important paper in political econ (broadly defined) published in the last two years that I should read?

Self-promotions welcomed!

Personal news: I am happy to share that I will be starting a PhD in the joint @dynamics.bsky.social doctoral program of the @humboldtuni.bsky.social and the @hertieschool.bsky.social this autumn in Berlin. I will now briefly thank some people who have supported me over the past few years 🧵.

📄 Whose expert knowledge informs policymaking around the world?

@rsenninger.bsky.social and I analyze data from 1.2 million government policy documents from 185 countries—and find a prominent pattern:

🌍 Policy evidence is overwhelmingly sourced from the Global North.

Not done thinking this all the way through, but this nice piece by @ronensteinke.bsky.social makes it obvious how quickly accommodation would need to work. Likely an under-discussed aspect of this debate. Thanks to the two of you for raising it!

Nur mal angenommen, die AfD würde verboten ...
Ein Verbot der AfD könnte massive Folgen für die Demokratie haben. Mandate würden entfallen, Razzien und Neuwahlen erforderlich sein

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

Nice visual of the spatial dynamics of the recent German federal election. Obv not the whole story but this makes it really obvious how the left was so successful.

"Noch weiter links?" Die SPD hat sich mit ihrem Wahlprogramm 2025 sowohl sozio-kulturell als auch sozio-ökonomisch deutlich weiter rechts als vor vier Jahren positioniert.
In dieser Grafik ist eine Vierfeldertafel zur Positionierung der deutschen Parteien bei der Bundestagswahl 2025 im Vergleich zu 2021 abgebildet. Die beiden Achsen stellen die sozio-kulturelle sowie die sozio-ökonomische Dimension des Parteienwettbewerbs dar. Die SPD ist auf beiden Dimensionen nach rechts gerückt. Die FDP ist auf der sozio-ökonomischen Dimension ebenfalls klar nach rechts gerückt. Die Positionen der anderen Parteien (AfD, Grünen, Linke und CDU/CSU) haben sich im Vergleich zu 2021 nur minimal verändert.

Not sure -- let me list some that come to mind immediately, though I am not sure these are the most pertinent. Question 4 to 6 strike me as the most relevant and most difficult to answer. bsky.app/profile/jaco...

Was ist die beste strategische Analyse zur AfD-Verbotsverfahrens-Debatte, die ihr gelesen habt?

Mich würden Einschätzungen zu folgenden Faktoren interessieren:
