One hat, two independent claims, three bases, two outs, and zero energy from you, the third-base coach wearing a hat that alleges, WOMEN WANT ME, FISH FEAR ME.
I have no standing to doubt that women want you. I’m willing to take you at your word that there are women out there who want a lethargic man who just stands there as a runner that he should’ve told to slide is casually tagged out at third. My issue is with your hat’s second claim.
I do not believe fish fear you.
I believe fish are unaware of your existence. And I think it would be impossible for any animal, land- or sea-faring, to fear an entity it has never known. For instance, you or I could reasonably fear aliens as a concept, but we do not fear one specific alien we’ve never met, like Zorpthop the Destroyer (though we should).
I also believe fish would never fear a man with the cowardice to stop a runner when he had a clear path to home. No creature would watch the outfielder bobble the ball like that, see you fail to send the runner home, and quiver at your existence.

The United Nations Digital Technology Network has recently adopted a new set of Open Source Principles to promote collaboration and drive open source adoption within the UN and around the world. These principles position open source as the default approach for digital projects, encourage contributions back to the ecosystem, foster inclusion and community building, and much more.
The Drupal Association is proud to endorse these principles. As the non-profit organization that supports the Drupal project, already the standard technology platform for the United Nations’ web presence, we wholeheartedly believe that these principles will advance both digital sovereignty and the long-term sustainability of the open source ecosystem.

Marcus Buckmann, Galina Potjagailo and Philip Schnattinger Disentangling the sources of high inflation, exceeding inflation targets in the post- pandemic period, has been a priority for monetary policy makers. We use machine learning for this task – a boosted decision tree model that fits non-linear associations between many indicators and inflation. We add economic interpretability … Continue reading Boosted inflation – using machine learning to make sense of non-linear determinants of inflation

In an era when landlords have been redefined as ‘working people’, a polemical book on abolishing them could not have been more apposite. Nick Bano’s Against Landlords is one of many recently published texts to fill this gap in the market (to coin a phrase). In just the last few months, Tracy Rosenthal’s and Leonardo […]
Last month’s labour force data for Australia revealed a sluggish labour market, seemingly on the cusp of contraction as other indicators were pointing in that direction. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released the latest labour force data today (May 15, 2025) – Labour Force, Australia – for April 2025, which revealed that employment growth…

Journalist Jeremy Loffredo travels to Puerto Rico to investigate how a new wave of U.S. crypto billionaires and wealthy transplants are reshaping the island. Drawn by tax breaks and lax regulations, these elites are buying up land, displacing locals, and transforming the entire Latin American country. Through on-the-ground reporting Loffredo unpacks how this economic invasion is eroding the island’s sovereignty under the guise of “investment,” echoing earlier eras of U.S. dominance—most notably the island’s long history of American military presence.

The current “Pax Bukele,” a state of emergency in which constitutional rights have been invalidated, was only made possible by a secret deal between President Nayyib Bukele and some of the country’s most violent gangs, which actively assisted Bukele’s rise. The Grayzone spoke with veteran Salvadorean journalist Walter Raudales about the stunning revelations of Bukele’s covert arrangement with the cartels, and interviewed human rights lawyer Alejandro Diaz about the corruption and cruelty underlying Bukele’s notorious CECOT mega-prison project.
