No, I do not want to set up an “out of office” automated response, i want a feature where the email is sent back to the sender telling them that I am on holiday and they should send it when I am back.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been reporting for weeks about this systematic killing, and today Haaretz newspaper exposed testimonies from soldiers in the Israeli military who were instructed by their commanders to open fire at unarmed crowds gathering to receive aid. This horror must stop.

My great grandfather was born enslaved in Mississippi. That’s a fact. It’s unremarkable to me that my economic history colleagues, who love linking any and everything, neglect this fundamental fact when they talk about mobility, race, and everything else they sidestep in their so-called scholarship…

Example of what happens when a mainstream economist discovers structural inequality (without 'discovering' the theories to explain it): very impressive empirical documentation of it + completely out-of-touch assumptions about how to fix it (taxation, cheap debt, human capital).

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
