Mark Carney’s overall economic approach has been backward-looking: an emphasis on natural resource extraction and reliance on low-tax, market-led, small-government economic ideology that was stale in 2008, and is definitely not suited to a world of geostrategic competition.

You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

It’s starting to become clear to more people that Carney’s Plan A amounts to an attempt to implement traditional Conservative policies when what’s called for is radically different policies. It’s currently unclear whether Carney can switch gears. The tell will be whether he abandons austerity.

Lucas van Leyden, died (alas!) OTD 1533. Painted the first real Dutch genre scenes! They are all about chance, knowledge, and prediction, as in this Game of Cards. Very bourgeois to worry about money & the future.

People in cities think nothing dramatic ever happens in villages but that’s not true. In our village the summer before last the cattle pushed over a fence and escaped from John and Rita’s field and lots of people still talk about it to this day and some of those people don’t even live in the village

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health have successfully discovered a molecular switch that can actually SHUT DOWN cancer growth signals and STOP tumor growth at the RNA LEVEL. The discovery could pave the way for a groundbreaking RNA-based multi-cancer treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional.
