Solar power increased 10X in the last 10 years. It is on pace to increase ~10X within another 10 years. The will be the equivalent of multiplying the entire world’s fleet of nuclear reactors by 8x in less than the time it takes to build ... one nuclear reactor.

Fam, I think of myself as pretty centrist but AOC is my queen. I would vote for her on sheer competence. There is no comparably articulate, coherent, and thoughtful politician in the US, even Mayor Pete. And this clarity flows out of her, no teleprompter or prep required.

It's not easy to get protectionism 'right', but a dose of protectionism is essential to economic development. In my latest essay, I outline how protectionism helped countries like China, South Korea and Taiwan.

This is one of the clearest examples of how the UK is capitalist. Whatever option maximises returns to owners of capital is likely to triumph. Alternatives aren't even countenanced because we don't want "big government" and not for profits don't innovate or some shit.

Ooooofff God private equity is filthy but those vultures only come in once you've had 2 decades of policy failure or inaction. We've got to stomp relying exclusively on markets as a policy tool. Childcare is prime for a community based approach.

This is one of the clearest examples of how these publishers don't know their own audience. Bro I don't need a pdf viewer I just need the pdf!

Feel like I'm bitching too much on twitter these days so here is a photo of the lovely spot in Finsbury Park where I just did a research interview. Academia is the best job don't let me forget that.

The side theatre at the Royal Opera House in London (the Lindbury) is incredible for dance. I paid £20 or something for this seat! I'm watching hip hop Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Cheap Lindbury seats are better than the £300 seats on main stage.

We don't talk enough about "technical expertise" that amounts to little more than this over and over and over, case after case after case.

This is only a radical take to people who are still using typewriters, which is the era this convention originated and should be left in. Figures and tables should be placed in text for readability because it's the 21st fucking century and typesetting is done via computers.

I am recruiting graduate students for Fall 2025 to join the Purpose Functioning in Daily Life (PFiDL--yes, the P is silent) lab!! (please RT/share!) humsci.auburn.edu/hdfs/grad/admi… My research focuses on: 1. when and why people feel purposeful in daily life 1/5

Undergrad classes should be harder and more rigorous, but grades should be much lower stakes, with failing and retaking a couple classes normalized and expected for most students. Most classes outside major should be pass/fail by default.
