Я гуманист, и всем желаю добра. Поэтому всем, кто сейчас доказывает, что агент ICE на 100% прав, и так и надо, я желаю, чтобы отныне все полицейские в их жизни были столь же уравновешены, так же ценили жизнь и права гражданских, и так же чтили законы, как их кумир Джонатан Росс.

Так как мы тут все на четырех языках пересрались из-за мультивиз, обращаю свое и ваше внимание, что еще 4% и Мемориал закроет сбор помощи для украинских гражданских пленных. «В мае мы открыли сбор средств для помощи украинцам, которые прямо сейчас находятся в российских СИЗО и

Про мое отношение к санкциям. Тред. Я являюсь ярым сторонником санкций, которые вредят Путину и уменьшает его способность вести войну. Часть из этих санкций могут негативно сказаться на благосостоянии россиян, но для меня жизни украинцев и ужасы развязанной Путиным войны

This article nicely summarizes our JEL review with @sguriev, our work on the European trust crisis with @YannAlgan , @evgenia_passari and neat work on populism’ aftermath by @MSchularick, @christrebesch et al. Hint. Populism does not work

“We cannot agree that now it is proposed that security issues, collective security, be resolved without the Russian Federation,” Mr. Lavrov said. “This will not work.” Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, vol. 238... /1 https://t.co/NWzC4BSd3P

This will now become one of my favorite quotes: "The United States has two political parties—the stupid party and the evil party. Sometimes, the two parties get together and do something that is both stupid and evil. They call that bipartisanship." (Greg Mankiw)

This is the strangest of arguments, but it is repeated again and again. Money that the US government pays to @Harvard buys the government results of the research that Harvard's professors do. These are purchases of goods and services, not charity and not transfers. It is "public

Remember the 2024 $20 minimum wage hike for fast food workers from $16? Here’s how California fast-food restaurant prices have changed post-min wage hike versus fast-food prices in all other U.S. states in synthetic control and diff-in-diff setups (from forthcoming methods paper)

This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics.. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily.

To illustrate just how nonsensically these tariffs were calculated, take the example of Lesotho, one of the poorest countries in Africa with just $2.4 billion in annual GDP, which is being struck with a 50% tariff rate under the Trump plan, the highest rate among all countries on
