Modelling by the construction of analogue economies is a widespread technique in economic theory nowadays … As Lucas urges, the important point about analogue economies is that everything is known about them … and within them the propositions we are interested in ‘can be formulated rigorously and shown to be valid’ … For these constructed […]
Directing shame outward “One of the great ironies about 2016,” writes The Bulwark’s Jonathan Last, “is that Hillary Clinton was right,” if impolitic, in how she described a third of the GOP. Over at The Atlantic, Peter Wehner writes about the attack of Trumpism we all witnessed last week by Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives. “[C]oming from a party whose sensibilities and racial attitudes are embodied by Donald Trump,” we should hardly have been surprised by their overreaction to Black activist members. Memphis wasn’t exactly hospitable to Rev. Martin Luther King in March of 1968, either. The more things change, etc. MAGA Republicans want not only to roll back the 20th century, they want to roll back Reconstruction. Nullification is back, fof heaven’s sake. Wehner suggests that the GOP knows it made a deal with “a demonic force” and is secretly ashamed: The human mind’s capacity to rationalize such things is extraordinary, but not limitless. Some Republicans have the sense, even if it’s only in their quiet moments, that they have acted not only hypocritically but dishonorably.

It seems pretty clear that I’ve underestimated both the Albanese governments chances for a second term and the prospects for getting the Voice referendum passed. So, I’m considering where I got things wrong. First, I underestimated how bad the LNP Opposition would be. In part that’s because I assumed it would be led by Frydenberg. […]

Baby bears! Just in time for spring break, two male Andean bear cubs named Sean and Ian are now on view at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI) in Washington, D.C. Over the past few weeks, the animal care team has worked with the brothers to prepare them for the transition. Cubs Ian and Sean began exploring the yard in mid-March alongside their mother, 4-year-old Brienne. For the past four months, members of the public have joined animal care staff in observing the cubs play and explore via a live Andean Bear Cub Cam and follow along with their growth through online “cubdates.”
DeSantis family values: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has doubled down on the state’s restrictions against abortion services. On Thursday, DeSantis announced that he signed the Heartbeat Protection Act into law, which will now require a woman to provide proof that the pregnancy was a result of rape, incest or human trafficking in order to receive an abortion up until 15 weeks of gestation. Documentation can include a restraining order, police report, medical record or other evidence. This restriction is an exception to the new law, which states that otherwise, abortions will be banned after six weeks unless done to save a pregnant person’s life. “We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” DeSantis, 44, said in a news release. He’s supporting the family members who rape their daughters, that’s for sure. And any rape victim who doesn’t properly document her assault like a good little bureaucrat will just have to bear her rapists child. Paperwork is very important. That’s what supporting life and family means in the state of Florida.
