Two things can be true at once: private credit isn't identical to 2008-era shadow banking, and some of the same vulnerabilities may be creeping back. Similar enough to inspect closely.

Politicians love visible gestures. Economists ask the annoying follow-up: does it work? ⁣ ⁣ On gas tax holidays, the answer was basically no then, and no now.

Some simple economics of the Met Gala: $42 million raised sounds enormous. It is. But economics is about compared with what? If the Met Gala creates far more value for fashion brands than for the museum, then the ticket price is probably too low.

Kevin Warsh once argued for rates that were too high for the economy, and he now seems politically reluctant to contradict Trump. That's a worrying combo.⁣ ⁣ We'll find out soon enough which one shows up to work.

Optimism is not a policy tool. If there’s no clear timeline for resolution, energy markets will price in uncertainty. And uncertainty is costly because firms can’t plan and households can’t budget.

For families and firms, this isn’t academic. If the people steering monetary policy are chosen for cable-news combat rather than analytic clarity, the cost shows up in jobs, prices, and uncertainty.

A lot of AI debate gets stuck on whether the technology is “real.” The more useful question is economic: if it works, who benefits, how fast, and under what rules?

"If we don't have immigration and population growth, the number of people who can pay off that debt just went down." That's the key mechanism.

One more sleep until I can tell you what I've been working on. Can't wait.

"Every time the president leans into belligerence... the stock market falls." Markets can’t vote, but they can mark down the price of risk.

Marco Rubio: “Cuba is a national security threat to the US.” This is a blatant lie to manufacture consent for an invasion of Cuba. Cuba is not a threat to the US. The US is the one who is a threat to Cuba as it has strangled the island for decades with an unnecessary embargo.

David Cochrane: "There is a 'Free Barabbas' approach to some of this direct democracy thing."

Mark Carney said Ukraine may be outside NATO’s direct responsibility — but not outside Canada’s values. Canada will keep working with partners, he said, because Ukraine is going to triumph and Canada will be on the right side of history.

Protesters in Nuuk, Greenland, have stopped being silent and are now chanting "Americans go home". King Donald the Mad will say it's Biden's fault.

Making it harder for people to vote—and for their votes to count—is peak loser behavior. Republicans should be embarrassed they have to go to such lengths to win.

One of the wildest conclusions in #AEWCollision history saw the Conglomeration and Death Riders... fighting the same enemies? AND NIGEL POPPING PEOPLE! What the hell just happened?

UGH.. I got 2 different PokeHub offers for the same card from 2 different people.. and I canceled the wrong one in the PokeHub app -.- Hopefully the trade completes in-game for the 1st offer. I apologize profusely to both parties. I feel badly for the mix-up.

This man was arrested in London for racially aggravated assault of a Muslim woman who was just standing nearby. He was started calling her a dirty F’ing Muslim & when another woman stepped in to help he told her he’s an IDF soldier & got in her face then a huge guy stopped him.

Nice exchange from Takeshita and Garcia! #AEWCollision

World War II could have been prevented. But nobody except Stalin really wanted to stop Hitler. Not badly enough.

Former DOGE staffer Justin Fox testified that his job at the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was flagging grants tied to “DEI” so they could be canceled under Trump’s executive order. One problem: he admitted he didn’t actually know what DEI meant! #ProudBlue 📹: 404 Media/TT & IG

The GOP will never hold anyone accountable for #TheEpsteinFiles. They demand feelings over facts, then cry foul when they do not get the emotional soundbite they want. Now they claim she did not answer. That is not oversight. That is spin. That is the messaging war in a nutshell. #ProudBlue

Pra início de conversa, Yani Neko é um mangá...estranho. Acompanha o dia-a-dia da Yani, uma gata humanóide lindando com a dependência extrema de cigarros e das amigas viciadas. E falo sério quando digo >viciadas<. O típico "parece fofo, mas é trágico". O tom cômico vai dar o que falar.
