@ThisAmerLife This is one of the affecting thing I’ve heard in my life.

This week, we return to Yousef and his family in Rafah. They are being pressed into a fourth move, one that Yousef has deeply mixed feelings about and is not even sure he can pull off. bit.ly/3KLNzod

@Noahpinion @Noahpinion have you reconsidered that piece you wrote a month ago where you argued it wasn’t worth seriously considering Israeli desire to genocide Palestinians, whereas Palestinian desire to genocide Israelis was real. Didn’t age well

Withdraw support for Israel, pivot to Asia!!

@iyad_elbaghdadi Great thread. I wonder to what extent greater sensitivity to inflationary spikes in the West, as well as US fiscal constraints factored into the decision making of Hamas

As promised I posted another thread with answers to the many great questions asked by you twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdad…

Here's a thread outlining the geopolitical situation around the Israel-Gaza war its possibilities, impossibilities, and possible outcomes. Heads up, it's my longest thread yet. It's also raw, unedited, and unevenly paced. Sorry, none of us are well but at least we're trying

@ServicesGovAU What if the dad is the primary caregiver? Why can’t the primary caregiver claim parental leave rather than the more limited dad & partner pay if they are the primary caregiver? And why do I have to resolve this over Twitter/x rather than actually speaking to someone?

@ServicesGovAU I have been trying to call for days and I have been hung up on 6 times without getting to speak to anyone. Are you making it deliberately hard to get any service

@jennineak 💯. I still think about it

@Noahpinion @bennpeifert Great article. I’ve experienced much of this stuff first hand. More overt in my early career and subtler later. The damage in those early years is long lasting and hard to overcome.

Another excellent guest post by the great @bennpeifert! This one is about the unfair treatment that women still receive in the finance industry. noahpinion.substack.com/p/the-uphill-b…

@andy23tran Privatisation

What's going on here?

@michaelxpettis How can you distinguish cases of capital account deficits due to demand for investment in the country vs trade/current account surpluses being the source.

1/7 "Britain tends to save less than other industrialised nations. We therefore need foreign investors to buy our public debt." I think this gets the direction of causality backwards. ft.com/content/2650bf…

@jihadiadlay The snail story from Training Day

@AggieCapitalist @jasonfurman Stock vs flow

@jasonfurman How are you "dipping into savings" if the savings rate is positive?

4 big stories in today's personal income data: 1. Real disposable personal income continues to fall. 2. Real consumption holding up better w/ continued strong goods & rising services. 3. People have started dipping into accumulated savings as saving rate is low. 4. Inflation.

@themmeFaetale @ABillionSuns @KetanJ0 I agree. In a sort of public setting I have a default to smile and laugh and sometimes it takes a moment to realise the intent of a joke. It’s quite understandable to me

Okay but why did Will Smith initially laugh at the joke

@sydneyswans I have not renewed my membership for the first time in >7 years due to this new Swans Pass. Having paid up for a membership these past 2 years, this is really disappointing

@_lauban One of the saddest things (for me) about the pandemic is not being able to do this

@treybor__ @iyad_elbaghdadi Uhhhhh

@iyad_elbaghdadi The US isn’t stealing anything. This was US taxpayer money. Shouldn’t the US be able to decide where the money goes?

America wouldn't let 9/11 families sue Saudi Arabia but is happy to steal food from the mouths of Afghan children. What an awful, disgusting, immoral move.

@Beanos_God @Faria_Khan_ @iyad_elbaghdadi To @Faria_Khan_ point. It doesn’t matter if you have nascent export industries if your country is freezes out of the international banking system. The move by Biden is abhorrent imo

@yumichild Brown paper bag blog. I use it all the time. Sometimes I add other ingredients, mostly actual sugar for my partner who isn’t into sugar free stuff

Anyone help me with a *tried and tested* recipe for gluten-free banana bread or muffins? I can google! Looking for personal recommendations for something you know is gorgeous and idiot-proof

@LynAldenContact This thread reads like a cynical critique of actions to combat GHG and an appeal to futility whilst not actually addressing ESG investing specifically. Some of the claims are also shoddy (as if the evidence of net negative impact of tech is on part with climate science 😂).

If anything, pretending we are doing good to check off certain boxes as perceived by others, while still doing whatever we were doing before, slows real progress. One of the worst things we can do is to feel like we are doing something constructive, without actually doing so.

"ESG investing" in its current form is similar to people who take selfies of themselves in fancy locations to show they were there, while barely experiencing it for real. Mostly theater, little substance.
