"Nowhere to go but up," huh?
I don't think we've bottomed out yet. But I'm a carpenter who majored in history, and therefore not able to wield the sophisticated analytical tools of an expert like Scott Bessent...

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

What I don't get is why Trump doesn't end every one of his outlandish assertions with "Thank you for your inattention to this matter!" Because that's how we frogs found ourselves in the boiling water.

kind of hilarious to see Nate Silver using the phrase "circle jerk"
I had missed this exchange last month between Nate Silver and Tyler Cowen in which Silver more or less admits that the academic conversation has moved to Bluesky, but rather than thinking that this shows how Bluesky has become more important, he claims it's why they've "lost influence."
![COWEN: What was the last interesting thing you learned from the academic political science literature?
SILVER: Oh boy, this is going to seem like an insult. [laughs]
COWEN: No, no, we’re all for insults here.
SILVER: Look, I read a lot of Substacks and things like that. Oh, my gosh. I don’t know.
COWEN: I think that might be the right answer, to be clear.
[laughter]
SILVER: I think in some ways, what has come out of academic circles has been interesting. I think effective altruism has been interesting, for example. Certainly, critical theory or whatever, the origins of wokeness have had a lot of influence on the discourse more broadly. But I don’t really read a lot of journal articles anymore. Also, a lot of it’s gone on Bluesky, I think, and I can’t tolerate Bluesky, really. It’s too much of a circle jerk.
I think academics have maybe lost influence in that respect. Even though I have great experiences talking to academics, and I’ll do events at universities a couple of times a year.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do/bafkreickvwwbijajl4nicbjrgzdzwlfy4wgzkra7r7hf2troginpiws4yq@jpeg)
