Un'altra esecuzione di un cittadino americano da parte dell'ICE. In questo video si vede un nugolo di uomini che circondano un uomo ormai a terra, lo pestano, e lo uccidono con dei colpi di arma da fuoco, in un contesto in cui non vi è alcuna evidenza di una minaccia alla vita degli agenti.

And it's a wrap. Workshop is done, bellies and minds are full, smiles and hugs have been exchanged, we look forward to next year. Come and join us for the #herb2027 on Jan 21-22. Same place, same time, some of the same people.

I agree: Awesome!!

It's a model about the interaction between eating and exercising, being fit and body weight.
We show that resting (for some time) can be an excellent idea, and we give a formal definition to the notion of lifestyle and remediation plans if often casually used in the literature.

Davide Dragone @davidedragone.bsky.social · 24d

Happy to share that the Journal of Health Economics has accepted our paper "Obesity, Sedentary Behavior and Lifestyle: A Lifecycle Model of Eating and Physical Activity"!

Nice way to start 2026.

🧵 For the past two days, we’ve been watching something obscene unfold.
The Trump administration is portraying the victim of ICE violence as a terrorist and the killer as a hero shielded by absolute immunity.
On one point, however, they tell the truth.

As of this writing, the retraction stands with its factually inaccurate notice. I continue
to seek its withdrawal and replacement with a corrective notice that accurately reflects
both the scientific committee’s conclusions and the actual content of the March 2025 publications.

🧵L’Europa non sta censurando nessuno. Sta provando a impedire che la manipolazione digitale inquini il dibattito democratico.
Da quando la Commissione Europea ha multato X, gli oligarchi russi e americani gridano alla censura.
Ma la realtà è completamente diversa. 👇

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.
