Fascinating paper by Claudia Goldin on drivers of low fertility in advanced economies.

Countries where economic progress outstrips social progress (in particular, gender equality in household division of labour) see the most rapid falls in fertility..

The Benghazi outrage guy is “transgender” because he criticized MAGA? Can’t make this shit up.
Say something ugly. Say something outrageous. Say something cruel. Say something divisive. Say something to get clicks & to get noticed. Trumpism, perfectly practiced & demonstrated here by NancyMace.👇 www.mediaite.com/news/gop-con...

This was the last tweet by U.S. journalist Austin Tice before he went missing in #Syria in 2012. He is clearly a fan of Taylor Swift.

Now that #TSTheErasTour ended, it’s high time to end Austin’s ordeal.

#TaylorSwift fans, help us by amplifying this post, so we can, together, #BringAustinHome.

This seems like a good summary of how the media is failing here.
TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies!

BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that.

MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

If you’ve ever met him in person, that’s exactly what he talks like
Sen. Jon Tester, living his best life, does not care to answer questions about Joe Biden pardoning his son: “I’m about to get the fuck out of here. Ask somebody else,” he tells reporters with a wide smile.

And to be clear, Governor Polis' suggestion that Biden's pardon of his son could lead Trump to stray from norms... is naïve and ahistorical to the point it could pass for satire.

This is what happens to treasonous insurrectionists in most countries—and should have happened here.
Brazil: former president Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others are indicted by Federal Police for planning and attempting a government coup after Lula's victory in the 2022 elections.

Military officers, presidency advisors and government officials under Bolsonaro are among the suspects.
🚨 PF indicia Jair Bolsonaro, Braga Netto, Valdemar Costa Neto, Alexandre Ramagem, Filipe G. Martins e outras 32 pessoas por abolição violenta do Estado Democrático de Direito, golpe de Estado e organização criminosa.

I am PRETTY sure the “Department of Government Efficiency” is a shiny object designed to keep Elon Musky busy and quiet, but if it’s not, it is going to facilitate some of the most astonishing legal corruption we’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to find out! www.fastcompany.com/91229782/tru...

With the new Department of Government Efficiency, Musk would be gutting agencies that are responsible for enforcing the law against him.

Withe the largest asterisk in the world to follow, vaccines are the single most important technology in the prevention of death and, respectively, many many orders of magnitude more lives have been saved by vaccines than taken by nukes (the pinnacle of killing technology).*

*So far, fingers crossed
The amount of human misery and death that has been prevented by vaccines is outside the scope of anyone's capacity to imagine, and people who want to reverse that progress are simply monsters
