Bluesky has got to be the quietest social network I've ever used. I don't get much engagement here, but I always find something interesting, often intellectually engaging, and occasionally something soulful. Unlearning my social media expectations might be the whole ball game.

Pirms 20. februāra ekspertu sarunas esmu sagatavojis blogu, kurā apkopoju savus galvenos vēstījumus: www.makroekonomika.lv/blogi/vai-va...
makroekonomika.lv
Vai valsts parāda kritiskais slieksnis ir tuvu?
Lai par Latvijas valsts parādu spriestu jēgpilni, jāatbild uz šādiem jautājumiem:  Cik liels ir valsts parāds un kā tas mainās? Kādas ir valsts parāda izmaksas un riski? Kad valsts parāda pieaugums ir ekonomiski pamatots? Kāda ir Latvijas valsts parāda prognoze? Ko var darīt, lai valsts parādu kontrolētu, nekaitējot ekonomikas izaugsmei? Šajā rakstā mēģināšu sniegt atbildes, balstoties uz datiem, ekonomisko loģiku un Latvijas Bankas pētījumu rezultātiem.

My weirdest Christmas: it was our first year in Sweden – but I insisted on having a big British celebration
When my family emigrated to Malmö, I wanted to stick to our traditions, but my husband was keen to embrace the local customs. Why were we butting heads?

Tuvojas Latvijas Bankas tautsaimniecības konference. Šoreiz - par kreditēšanu. Esam paveikuši lielu darbu, kreditēšana strauji aug. Ko darīt, lai tā būtu vēl straujāka un palīdzētu ekonomikai augt sekmīgāk? Aicinām ekonomikas interesentus pievienoties diskusijām 21.novembrī.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Nobody expected Latvia goalie Linards Feldbergs to finish his #WorldJuniors with 210 saves. Or to upset Canada in the prelims. But those close to him also aren't surprised by his performance. How the 🇱🇻 goalie became the feel-good story of the tournament:
