My brother's film, Three Threads, is live on YouTube as part of the Bandra Film Festival: youtu.be/qvnAxc8hX6o?...

The film follows a weaver in Kutchh who weaves stories of industrialization, deforestation and hope into his tapestries. Give it a watch! #documentary #film #handloom #rannofkutch

As the first round of the #EconJobMarket shakes out in different ways for soon-to-be PhDs, there are inevitably some who haven't got an offer at this point. This can be a scary and lonely and frustrating place to be, and doesn't feel especially great. #EconSky

Really interesting and important thread. Often, we tend to focus on the benefits of high skill immigration (rightly so, too) but there’s a growing case for *any* immigration being not just beneficial but also necessary in certain countries and contexts (including, e.g., Taiwan!).
I've had a long-running thread on twitter on the real migration crisis (not enough migrants). Will start posting here... but for the earlier 1,000-plus examples, see here:

Rest well, Manmohan Singh! The 13th Prime Minister of India was unlucky in the way he was portrayed, yet stood as a stark contrast to his successor: took open questions from the Press, was dignified in his remarks, and brought in much needed, sensible reforms as Finance Minister in 1991. A good man.

Interested in inequality research? Here is a starter pack containing research centers / institutes / organizations dedicated to the study of socioeconomic inequality.

Time seemed ripe as, finally, organizations are moving to Bluesky. Let me know if others should be added.
