This week, I presented my work online at the Kyiv School of Economics. I really appreciate the insightful feedback and 1:1 discussions. I am also amazed at the resilience & determination of these researchers doing top-tier work under such tough conditions. Thanks @dariia.bsky.social for having me!

@ecosiasearch.bsky.social is asking me to upgrade my OS and refuses to run until I do. I have zero disk space for a 20+ GB update, and I'm completely fed up with forced update cycles. Planned software obsolescence is at odds with the 'environmentally friendly' narrative.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
