I'm not quite sure what to call this — a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.
It's my attempt to explain the economics of war — economic theories of how and why war occurs — and to use that framework to better understand our current moment.

"Operation Epic Mistake"
Fascinating time with Niall Hammond and the team at the historic Heighington Station in County Durham, the world's first purpose built railway station. The Friends of Stockton & Darlington Railway own, and are now restoring the building. A long road ahead, but incredible progress made. #Railways
😂 I just cant believe humans actually believe these AI creations.

Humanists UK. Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful, without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?' Douglas Adams. Author and humanist.
DON'T PANIC. And always carry a towel.
Today, we're celebrating the life of the humanist and author Douglas Adams, born #onthisday 1952.
He is sorely missed, but his books remain some of the funniest and most imaginative explorations of the absurdity of life, the universe, and everything.
Planning to host an online-only version of this workshop in May (provisionally 20th). Let me know if you'd be interested in presenting your work - there are still several slots available!
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
Strange loop - people laid off from their jobs are now being paid to train the very thing that replaced them. 🤷🏻♂️

🍽️ Sunda New Asian opens today over by Comerica Park. Restaurateur Billy Dec was very intentional in choosing Detroit for their next spot; we talk about that, the food, and his Filipino roots.
I'm Celani, and this is my story. 🪡✨
Growing up in rural Zimbabwe, I thought school uniforms were a luxury. Now I know we just didn't have the money.
That's why I now make affordable uniforms for vulnerable girls like me, so they too can learn and thrive. ❤️🩹
