Herein below you can read/ access my latest posts from the BlueSky and Twitter (X) platforms (the custom Twitter (X) feed updates with a substantial lag and sometimes chaotically). You are obviously better off reading/ following me directly on Twitter (X) and/or on BlueSky and/or on Mastodon and/or on Threads for full functionality. (NB. The latter three platform feeds, unlike Twitter (X), are readable also if not logged in on the corresponding platform.)
Le problème central du tweet est très simple et il n’y a pas à tergiverser des heures dessus.
Le taux d’intérêt est un prix d’équilibre, pas une donnée du problème.
La dette allemande est plus attractive à un taux d’intérêt donné, donc la France doit offrir un taux supérieur
Out today, the latest single from Continuum II: my arrangement of Bach’s “Nun ruhen alle Wälder” - a melody that dates back to the 15th century and, in Bach’s hands, becomes the most touching cradle song: “the woods are now asleep.”

How do you tell if authors fabricated their research results? Sometimes: they just tell you. Read, e.g., this caption carefully.

Mi media naranja conoció a 👨🍳 Ferran Adrià en Concepción, pero no lo trajo a Santiago a cocinarnos. Cena deconstruida: chef allá, hambre acá. Yo habría negociado la versión comestible descorchando mis vinos de Viña VIK: hasta los genios culinarios responden a incentivos líquidos!
Da, bilanțul lui Bolojan face o economie remarcabilă... de explicații despre starea educației, cercetării, protecției sociale etc. Deficitul trebuie redus. Dar dacă tai viitorul să iasă bilanțul, tot pe datorie trăiești: doar că datoria o plătesc copiii.

El sábado por la noche, Chaika en La Rebelión de los Muñecos. Chekhov en español y con una marioneta? Ves las manos de Tita Iacobelli y crees en el alma de la muñeca. Lo único de madera eran mis prejuicios. (https://tchaika.art/compania/)

Subtlety, elegance’s intellectual cousin, ought to be academia’s 1st qualification. Those admiring thinkers as subtle as Russian tanks are fellow tanks mistaking a convoy for a school of thought. Lacking subtlety is worse than a few nonsense papers on your CV... Subtle, ain’t it?
'Even mainstream economists criticise their models!', they say. Very true. Also, healthy!
Surgeons cut people open too. Knowing the anatomy separates surgery from a stabbing. To all wannabe "critics" out there: failing to understand a model isn’t an alternative school of thought.
