Book conferences are a great benefit if you're in a book field and if you're negotiating an offer, ask for one. Even in person, they are an impressive bang for the buck.

Once you throw in the massive cost of the forever wars, the debt to gpd ratio would be even lower and completely manageable. All the talk about the cost of welfare state as being a driver of unsustainable debt is nonsense.

Can’t wait to get stuck into this from @masonbwilliams.bsky.social. It looks Iike essential reading and, in short, an absolute banger of a book.

Congrats to the geniuses who managed to concoct the perfect policy mix to transform a recovering economy into a stagflationary one, timed perfectly for the midterms. 👏👏👏

Crucial to remember that major change is possible and that, because of political struggle, things are much better now than they were before the New Deal.

It seems quite clear that Starmer was not a very good PM. However, it seems likely that Burnham will soon fall out of favor since he is unlikely to resolve the deep structural problems that people are very reasonably unhappy about. And round and round we go.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion. This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

Great video. All mayors want to show that the city is able to “do something.” Often this means performative policing, which means a lot of stop-and-frisk but no change in crime. Mamadani is taking a different path, placing emphasis on the public goods the city can should deliver.

Regrettably that “miraculous protection” did not extend to the 13 dead, over 300 wounded, and estimated $2.1-$3.6 billion in damage to equipment. If god deserves all the glory, does he also deserve all the blame? Or does that lie with his faithful adherents on earth, I wonder?

A depressing but interesting conversation with @gregsargent.bsky.social @newrepublic.com on the miscalculation (noncalculcation?) the Trump administration made over the Strait of Hormuz. There’s gonna be a Trump premium on oil for a while.

How can this be allowed? The original price is exorbitant; a resale price of $3667 is shameful. FIFA is such a disgrace. The World Cup ticketing process is turning the event into a carnival of greed.

Alistair Darling and the official Treasury were always aware that investment banks had an inside track to Number 10. But the brazen nature of that inside track is rather breath-taking.
