I pick on Slobodian in the thread below as an egregious and recurring offender. But this sort of quote-editing by leftist scholars is *extremely* common in academia. Here's another by Nancy MacLean & Sandy Darity where they transform an attack on Apartheid into a defense of it.

We envision a new institution, the Global Justice Fund to finance this sustainable convergence path. The fund would raise revenue via global wealth and income taxes to be used for climate investments, expansion of health and education, and building up a World Sovereign Fund. The Global Justice Fund would average 10.3% of world GDP annually between 2030 and 2060 — compared with less than 0.4% currently allocated to development aid and international organizations.

How well does Elicit's semantic search work for systematic reviews? Cochrane reviews are the gold standard for evidence synthesis in health and medicine. We sampled 888 reviews across 12 MeSH areas. For each Cochrane systematic review, we ran Elicit using only the review title as the query. Real searches in Elicit combine semantic and keyword strategies with context from the review protocol, which result in higher recall. Elicit retrieved 95.0% of included studies on average. These results show that you can use Elicit’s semantic search for systematic reviews, or you can use Elicit’s keyword search supplemented by semantic search to fill in the gaps.

Metro Bus is the backbone of transportation in this region but 70% of people who ride don’t pay the fare! 😳🚍 More fares equal more service, more routes, shorter waits, cleaner buses, and improved wayfinding tools! When everyone pays, everyone gets a better system! 🤝 🚌

Proposal for the complete destruction/reconstruction of Boston, 1944. I have absolutely no problem with this.

With both the incessant concern about cost of living and the increasing revolt against taxes, how is it possible that so many states still tax groceries, diapers, and feminine products? How isn't this a top political issue in these states? Cut these before more Boomer handouts!

Latest shipbuilding numbers are out from BRS and they are not good. China had gone from 51% in 2022 to 70.9% in 2025. That is from 2,107 ships to 4,055.

Meridian Hill Park before vs. after. For years, homeless camps and drug addicts took over the park. Now it's cleaned up and full of families again, thanks to @POTUS's executive order to make the capital safe and beautiful again. 🇺🇸

And it was glorious

This article is a useful reminder that the relatively successful yet comparatively egalitarian Scandinavian economies are quite pro-market. The key is to promote successful private sector businesses that generate growth and make a generous welfare state sustainable. Then you can layer a welfare state on top that expands equality of opportunity and provides a safety net for those who fall between the cracks. The same story broadly applies to my native Denmark, which tightened fiscal discipline and undertook market-oriented reforms in the 80s and 90s.

Keir Starmer was ruined for trying to means test free energy payments for wealthy British boomers. Totally cooked political culture that is representative of many aging societies
