"Just one more regime change bro. I promise this one is different bro. The western hemisphere will be easier. Please bro just support us destabilizing one more country. This dictator is really bad bro it's totally different. Just a short one I promise!"

Hilarious move putting this on top at RCP. The editors there are so funny.

@VincentGeloso @Econjuanboho @LouisROUANET that same issue has another great paper:

It's time to consider that perhaps part of the reason population growth is cratering everywhere is that we spent decades and billions of dollars telling people to stop having kids. When you incentivize something to slow down, it tends to slow down.

India’s population will still continue to grow from its current tally of 1.45bn. But the number of births is already down by a fifth from its peak in 2001. This baby bust has big implications https://t.co/Gu4qMZfhn8

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@Andrewnsnyder @farmingandJesus @platospupil @5solas don't you understand? If you publicly respond to criticism, that's gossip.

[Peter Jacobsen @PeterPashute]

@JosephJakeKlein yeah the teaching thing is nonsense. It implies progressive have the same goals and just haven't realized they have the wrong economics. The fact of the matter is their goals are incompatible with economic system being described as "proper" here.

Massie vs. Gallrein support by age demographic

Boomers win again

[Peter Jacobsen @PeterPashute]

Red is Massie. Blue, his opponent.

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

This is @realDonaldTrump’s Republican Party. The rest of us get the privilege of living in it.

[Peter Jacobsen @PeterPashute]

@contramordor @realDavidBJr no, the Trump support is clearly the only thing that mattered. If Massie had swam around flipping migrant boats by hand, he still would've lost if Trump backed Ed.

Feel how you want about Massie, the man has literally showed up angry in my mentions, but it’s pretty unsettling that a foreign country is openly working to unseat a congressman in a district where he is very popular

[RyanMatta 🇺🇸 🦅 @Ryanmatta]

We are cooking with Thomas Massie and learning about how he built this entire place with his barehands, and his own saw mill. This dude is a legend. Ed can’t even build momentum for a political campaign but hey, maybe he’s too busy watching Only Fans. I’m not judging, just saying.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Best @realDonaldTrump tweet ever. This is what putting America first means... ending the endless wars, and honoring our soldiers by only giving them missions where America’s interests are at stake, and where victory can be defined.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@Grossmanite @data_skeptic @czpriotte @PhilWMagness @extremearturo that tweet is going to go so hard in 2045 when literally nothing has happened

[Peter Jacobsen @PeterPashute]

@PhilWMagness @Grossmanite @extremearturo we couldn't have made it another day if we didn't shut Cuba's lights off Phil

[Peter Jacobsen @PeterPashute]

@AlexNowrasteh As others have pointed out, EFR rather than TFR makes this less of a slam dunk.

[Benjamin Parry @_benjaminparry]

This chart is misleading. Here's a better one from @lymanstoneky showing something closer to actual fertility once you account for child mortality.

Long run decline is significantly less.

The change in trend from stagnant but at/above replacement 1990 — 2010 to rapidly below replacement and falling after 2010 which this chart shows does need an explanation.
