The fact that the PhD application discourse is stemming from an economics student validates both my experience and judgement that 99% of modern economics in academia is pseudointellectual

AS FEARED: "The world’s clouds are changing. They are covering less overall area and are dimming, with the effect that they reflect less solar radiation back into space. This increase in solar absorption is a major cause of the accelerating warming we are now experiencing."
ALT To determine how close the relationship between Earth’s surface air temperature and cloud area is, we can look at the monthly comparison of temperature versus CAF. Figure 2 below shows that relationship, and it shows it being remarkably linear. This strongly suggests that there is a direct feedback between global mean surface temperature and cloud cover. This is the cloud-temperature feedback. It suggests that as we continue to warm, cloud cover will continue to diminish, pushing up the absorbed solar radiation and continuing to accelerate warming. It doesn’t support the theory that the recent acceleration is temporary and will exist over a limited time period of aerosol adjustment, this feedback is here to stay.
Great piece by Tom Harris on cloud feedback
The world's cloud cover is reducing, which makes the planet hotter
This may be why Miocene Climatic Optimum temperatures were 7 - 8C up on pre-industrial for CO2 levels of just 400 - 600ppm
Very, very, scary

People do forget how much of a supergroup Battles was, guitarist from Don Cab and Storm & Stress, drummer from Helmet, Anthony Braxton’s son. Like jfc
If there's any upside to the weekend-to-weekend approach they're taking as opposed to continuous occupation, it gives you time to plan for things like this. They're coming on Saturday? Set up the barricades Friday night

While riots and looting got all the attention in France, these protesters handing out food to homeless people have been mostly ignored.

Realistically, seizing the banks now implies a far different procedure and consequence than it did in Marx’s time. If the continent means business they’d be seizing the Port of Rotterdam
he’s so fucking cool
In January, @CoachTomlin sent shockwaves through the NFL when he stepped down as coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons. Even more surprising, though, was the recent revelation that this hard-boiled leader of men absolutely loves playing Minecraft.
“I am probably on the spectrum,” the Super Bowl champion told GQ’s @jhnevins when the two met up earlier this month to talk about life after football. “My wife would say that.” gq.visitlink.me/wyrws8
for the record, stuck only to fiction and would have picked I Spy Fantasy if they had it as an option
finally finished my full read of Capital, equal parts beast mode and horrifying that Marx finishes by basically predicting the Homestead Act and asserting that it will be the process by which the capitalist mode of production will come to dominate the US
