Haven't come across this concept before, but I like the notion of the "neutrality-industrial-complex" deployed here by Rikard Westerberg of the Stockholm School of Economics. #ColdWar #Sweden

This is a fun and insightful read on the road from #physics to #finance, and possibly a timely nudge for my youngest who hopes to begin study physics at university next year. #quants @emanuelderman.bsky.social

It's never too late post of the day... Woody Allen has published his first novel at age 89. There's hope for us all yet! #literature

Once we leave the EU we will be able to control our #borders... (This graph is also an indictment of just how bad the opportunities for #migrants must be in the EU as compared to in the UK.)

Very important set of points on setting targets by Johan Lilliestam on setting targets at #ecprgc25. And a masterclass by @acherp.bsky.social in being Discussant: just a few key points on the blackboard, then facilitating an actual discussion (incl. some disagreement about curves)! @ecpr.bsky.social

A wonderful night at the Grand Opera House in Belfast, watching a superb West End production of Fiddler on the Roof. fiddlerontheroofuk.com/cast-and-cre...

Excited to see this 1984 book arrive in the post. I’m not only fascinated by #oilandgas, I’m very intrigued by the history and culture of #Houston as an #oil city. And the text features pictures of drilling rigs between sections!

As it's the centenary of its publication, I decided to re-read Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. What a marvel, this time too! It’s quite possibly the most flawlessly written book in the English language, each page like a whole composition unto itself. #literature

RIP John "Ozzy" Osbourne (1948-2025). Well, there goes a big part of my teenage years. Standing in the crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin during the last Sabbath tour in 2017, a viciously loud "Snowblind" washing over us, remains a highlight.

So by the standards of these islands, we're having a bit of a "heatwave". Can wait, though, for the serious heat of #Thessaloniki in late August and the opportunity to speak about the innovative strategies of #ExxonMobil in the #energytransition at #ECPR2025. @ecpr.bsky.social
