New article just dropped in APSR! Leah Downey and yours truly on why people should stop using “democratize” when all they really mean is increasing market access. (Looking at you, economists! 👀) And, more positively, what a better vision of “democratization” looks like when applied to finance.

Two extraordinary charts from today’s PISA test results: 1) School test scores continue to collapse internationally, underscoring how this is no longer a Covid effect but sustained decline. Those falls in reading and maths are equivalent to about two years of lost schooling.

Ich habe hier zusammengefasst, wie die etablierten Parteien entscheidend zur Stärkung radikal rechter Parteien wie der AfD beigetragen haben. Auch als Reaktion auf den Wahlausgang gestern sehen wir wieder die genau gleichen Narrative aus Politik und Medien. Man bleibt im Teufelskreis gefangen.

Some ppl in my intellectual community don't agree with me but I believe it's important to have a prosperous economy. & one of my master theories about the world is that we squander SO much of our natural resource base on animal agriculture, which is not economically important. 1/

Ehdotan, että keskuspankkien tulisi taata markkinakorkoja halvemmat lainat vihreisiin investointeihin energiaomavaraisuuden edistämiseksi. Keskuspankkien toimintaympäristö ja inflaation syyt ovat muuttuneet keskeisesti finanssikriisin jälkeen. www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/ar...

We must remember the Utøya massacre, and remember it for what it was: a far-right attack specifically targeted against democratic socialist activists. Today, the ideologies of its perpetrator are openly espoused by a global network of nationalist oligarchs as they wage war on democratic societies.

A good exercise generally to actually read older stuff??? Unreliable narration and multiple layers of authorial voice make a book ”post-modern”? Read Don Quijote! Or is playing with the tropes of literary genres a hallmark? Read Lucian!

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.

Great piece, but I do think it also engages in some spectacular shadowboxing. Sure, strategic decarbonization is meh, but are we supposed to conjure up the political know-how and technological base out of nothingness? Every partial victory is also a "not-good-enough" to some marxist out there.

An important intervention from Casey A. Williams in the debate over how war is reshaping decarbonization. Against the "passive optimism" of those see the war's impact on global energy as proof of the inevitable advance of renewables, Williams makes the case for a far more purposeful politics.
