I have no idea if these attitudes are reflective of the MAGA movement as a whole but if they are, it’s good news: While Trump has yet to commit to accepting the outcome of the presidential election, several of his supporters who attended rallies in Michigan Friday said they’re ready to do so even if he loses. Jordan Walton, 24, of Warren, is a restaurant worker and Trump supporter who was too young to vote in 2016. In his first opportunity to participate in a presidential election, Walton backed the former president’s reelection bid in 2020. But unlike some Trump voters, he accepted Trump’s loss as legitimate that year. “It sucks. But yeah, he lost,” Walton said before heading into the town hall event in Warren. He said he expects a close election this time and would accept another Trump loss. “Ain’t going to be happy, but you know, it is what it is,” he said. Walton plans to vote in person, but said Trump’s past railing against absentee voting hurt the Republican presidential candidate’s chances four years ago.

Lindbeck’s interactions with the New Left and Neo-Malthusians, focusing on issues like environmental sustainability and social justice, exemplify how his authorship developed in an antagonistic context against his interlocutors. He used Hayekian epistemology to counter the grievances of his adversaries, arguing that market mechanisms were superior in addressing environmental and social challenges that he simultaneously […]

Every great product needs a great supporting documentation - this rule is as simple and well known as it is hard to stick to, especially if we are talking about the continuously growing Open Source system that Drupal is. A while ago we came to realise that Drupal documentation needs a revamp. Together with ever amazing community members, the DA engineering team has been looking for a solution that will bring world class documentation to Drupal and that joint effort did not go in vain as such a solution has been defined!
As each of you can imagine, the goal of overhauling documentation tooling to a modern docs-as-code system is a big challenge so it is logical that we decided to define bite-sized deliverables and today we are happy to announce the first phase of the project - delivering clear and easy to follow user guide for Drupal CMS. And we need your help!
While neoclassical economists cannot consistently incorporate behavioral factors into their models, there is nothing in behavioral economics that makes the use of neoclassical theory illegitimate. To the contrary … behavioral economists have consistently advocated using neoclassical theory for all sorts of purposes. By and large, they treat neoclassical models and theories as heuristic devices or […]
A very big baby penguin! The Smithsonian Magazine wrote it up: In late January, caretakers at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium in Australia were ecstatic when a king penguin chick successfully emerged from his shell. The baby, which they named Pesto, was the only king penguin born at the aquarium in the last two years. He weighed less than a pound. They’ve since watched as the youngster grew—and kept growing. As of Wednesday, Pesto weighs a whopping 51.8 pounds, according to the aquarium. His fame took off when the aquarium threw a gender reveal party (they can’t tell through a blood test.) Now he’s an internet superstar. But why is Pesto such a big boy? Caretakers chalk up his unusual size to a “hearty appetite”—he eats more than 25 fish a day—and good genes. His biological father, a king penguin named Blake, is one of the biggest and oldest penguins at the facility, weighing in at around 39 pounds, per New Atlas’ Bronwyn Thompson. However, Pesto is being raised by a younger couple, Tango and Hudson, who have been taking good care of him, according to the aquarium.
