Who needs a podcast when you can blog?

I've started a blog at JoshGriffiths.site!

Today's entry is about 'Don't Read What You Buy' month, the month where you buy a bunch of books and don't read them!

Wait, what do you mean that's not what it's called?

I’m a mother of three children. We recently returned to North Gaza after being displaced, but we came back to nothing.
We lost our home, our source of income, and any sense of safety or stability.
Now, we have no proper shelter or cover to protect us from the cold. Winter is coming fast, and we don’t have warm clothes or blankets for the children.
Life here has become unbearable. There’s no gas, no electricity, and no clean water to drink — even salty water is hard to find. Prices are extremely high, and every day is a struggle just to survive.
My children keep asking me, “When will we have a home again?”, and I have no answer.
We are trying to raise donations to help us leave, rebuild our lives, and give our children a future where they can live with dignity and safety.
Please, if you can help or even just share our story, it would mean the world to us.

Ai fascisti interessa comandare, non governare. Infatti sono intenti a sabotare tutto quel che possono dell'impalcatura delle Stato e delle istituzioni. Come tRump.
mastodon.uno/@Vitalba/11546316…


È grave che un potere dello Stato aggredisca l’ordine giudiziario e senza nemmeno aver letto le motivazioni della Corte dei Conti, che tutela la spesa dei soldi dei contribuenti.

Ed è grave che, dicendo “come se i giudici contabili ignorassero l’esistenza dei computer”, Meloni mostri di non essersi mai accorta di quante norme, che lei non cambia, impongono ai cittadini, pure con disabilità, di portare documenti cartacei allo sportello con una burocrazia sfinente. Si sveglia ora che tocca a lei?

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the government shutdown, and the House of Representatives is still on break as House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues to try to force the Senate to pass the House measure to fund the government without negotiating over the Democrats’ demand for the extension of the premium tax credit without which healthcare premiums will skyrocket."

The image is a book cover with a vintage aesthetic. The background is a light green color. Across the top, in a large, elegant font, it says “The American”. Directly beneath "The American" is "Woman's" in a slightly smaller font. Below this, the words "Cook Book" are displayed in a larger, bolder font. At the very bottom of the cover, in a smaller font, it says "Edited by Ruth Berolzeimer." The book has a classic, somewhat decorative style typical of early 20th-century cookbooks.

A view of the flooded Kanjia Lake from the Odisha State Botanical Gardens, Nandankanan, Bhubaneswar.

The water has submerged the access road. The central bare tree now serves as a marker for the original boundary between the road and the lake. Photo taken approximately 36 hours after the landfall of Cyclone Montha at Andhra Pradesh. Storm clouds, however, continue to linger and bring intermittent showers to the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.

There's a misunderstanding in this. Electronic rifle scopes (bad enough, I'll grant you) go in the same category as electronic parts for missiles. ICE isn't actually ordering missiles. They are loading up on all sorts of toys that Gravy SEALs love, like sniper scopes and night vision scopes and all the other goodies that Wannabe Warriors think they have to have to be real men (while the actual real men go around town unarmed).


Re. last repost of @molly0xfff :

Here in #Minnesota , we fortunately have shut-off protections for heat in the winter and cooling in the summer: mn.gov/puc/consumers/shut-off-… .

Those of you in other states might tell your state governments to do likewise, if they have not already.

As well as telling your members of Congress to do their jobs and end all of this.

Maine has this, but only for electric, and many Maine households rely on oil/propane/wood for heat

Its clear, economics has an elitism problem in four (interacting) dimensions:

elite dominance: too many 'top economists' went to the same few universities;

editorial gatekeeping: key disciplinary journals are tightly controlled & submissions limited to those confirming the orthodoxy;

rising institutional concentration: the economics courses that feed the discipline are increasingly limited;

and the discipline has not escaped it Eurocentric foundations.

I gather from context that you make quite a sharp distinction between elitism and meritocracy. Other people use them interchangeably.
in reply to Martin Rundkvist

@mrundkvist

I really don't like the term meritocracy at all - coined as a critique, it has now become a social structure designator, and in the latter case misses so much of what is really going on I seldom if ever use the word

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The alternative to meritocracy is usually hiring someone's buddy. Extremely common in Scandinavian #academia.
in reply to Martin Rundkvist

@mrundkvist

Also in Germany (or at least it used to be, when I was still occasionally visiting German universities)....

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Sad to hear it. In Germany they at least have a derogatory term for when a professor is still at the desk where he wrote his PhD thesis: Hausberufung.

Just a little greeting from downtown Berlin tonight. Next to the commercial tower on the left is Friedrichstrasse train station. In front of it, the illuminated pavilion was East Germany's transit checkpoint for rail connections to the capitalist west. In the centre, the Spree river: in dry summer months, 3/4 of its waters originate as waters pumped from lignite coal pits further south. On the right, the tower of Berliner Ensemble, where Bertold Brecht last reigned.
