Trump says North Korea has "57 very powerful nuclear weapons." 57 is an oddly specific number. A short 🧵on why the real number is almost certainly higher.

[Robbie Gramer @RobbieGramer]

For the national security nerds, here are some important new Trump nominations to watch:
- Allison Hooker: under secretary of state for political affairs
- Thomas Dinanno: under secretary of state for arms control
- John Hurley: under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial crimes
- Paul Kapur: assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs
- Chris Pratt: assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs
- Joel Rayburn: assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs

I was a fan of Effective Altruism (almost taught a course on it at Harvard) together w other rational efforts (evidence-based medicine, data-driven policing, randomista econ). But it became cultish. Happy to donate to save the most lives in Africa, but not to pay techies to fret about AI turning us into paperclips. Still support the idea; hope they extricate themselves from this rut. https://t.co/bsR12EheIP via @WSJ

Putin's intentions are clear for the world to see. No one should be fooled by Russia's litany of lies

This has to be the best news of 2023. This is one of the most significant steps towards de-escalating nuclear risk.

3- Iran voluntarily allows the #IAEA to carry out further verification and monitoring activities if necessary.
The method of its implementation will be agreed between the two parties during a technical meeting that will be held in Tehran.

@mirandahzhang Hmm I wonder who this could be for

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Whatever you think of Dr. Oz, he ran a tough race that he spent a ton of his own money on but still ate shit and that’s funny

ADHDers! What is something that has helped with managing things you struggle with due to ADHD? Could be buying an aid, doing things differently, routines

Keeping up with the Kardashians is exhausting tbh.

[Dylan Miars @DylanPLMiars]

What is the most interesting and/or impactful academic paper have you read recently? Doesn’t matter the discipline. I’m interested in reading what those around me find compelling and expand my awareness within and beyond my bailiwick
