@SpencerHakimian What I don’t understand about lefties.
They’re ok with people in Vietnam making t shirts for peanuts but not ok with the US doing it…. Interesting isn’t it!

Hey Cult Boys,
I got another complicated math question for you.
Please see if you can help me figure it out. I just can’t seem to.
It costs $2 to make a t shirt in Vietnam.
It costs $20 to make that same t shirt in West Virginia.
After you tariff Walmart 50%, and make that t shirt cost $3 in Vietnam.
Does Walmart:
A) Continue using the Vietnamese factory
B) Switch to West Virginia’s factory
Please help.

When you are dying of internal bleeding from an ectopic pregnancy, furious that even though any doctor could save you, you will have to die - leaving lifelong agony for your spouse and children
please think of the sanctity of Brett Kavanaugh’s driveway - which is the real victim

Friendly reminder that Elon Musk told the UN that if they gave him a budgeted breakdown of how $6Bil could end world hunger, he would do it. They gave him the budget and then he decided not to do it, and instead decided he would buy Twitter for $45Bil.

@IAReporter @snlester Which helped me through the last months of finishing my PhD which eventually led to my forthcoming book, so really you're subsidizing the ac publishing industry 😉
English
@snlester Amen. Personal point of pride that we pay IAReporter contributors for every word that they write for us.

I understand why academic publishing began the way it did, but I'm surprised it hasn't changed more in the internet era.

Establishing a national agency to prevent & manage #investment disputes is often perceived as a promising way to avoid the risk of costly #ISDS claims. But how do these agencies operate & what are their effects? @JBonnitcha & @ZoePhillipsW explore: bit.ly/dpma-report

@stannieholt @AlannaBennett the idea that I could be freezing extra buttermilk is life changing. thank you.
English
@AlannaBennett Fancy tea that I had tried and liked (Mariage Freres’ Marco Polo) and a silicone rubber thing like a tiny 6-cup muffin tin that makes it much easier to freeze small quantities of liquids (broth, buttermilk, etc.) and pop them out without making a mess.

@Etienne_Brown in my hometown paper! Really interesting to think about how market size or political importance can determine the level of regulation that FB users enjoy. Not that different from dumping dirty industries in the global south?

The bigger story here is the strength and breadth of research in international law across the @GlobalLawUNSW group, reflected in UNSW's recognition as top research institution in international law.
At a personal level, also lovely and an honour to have my research recognised.
