The correct answer is “never” because 1998 was our best chance to win it all and we couldn’t even make it to the superbowl with the best offense in nfl history to that point. It’s now gotten embarrassing, but they will be respectable soon enough. Just accept that being a Vikings fan is what it is.

Yesterday was so damn embarrassing. I'm so sick of being a Vikings fan. WE ALWAYS LOSE! I vented yesterday, thought I was done. At what point do we get an actual winning team?

talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

"The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Understanding how Black Americans got to where they are today, requires understanding how Black Americans navigated a nation where segregation was the way of the world— an inescapable fact of life. We share a part of that story here: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject

One thing the public underestimates about the Jim Crow era, but the data by @trevondlogan.bsky.social & others, shows is that the march towards racial progress was not linear; the safety of movement for Black people surged, stalled, and sometimes reversed. #GreenBookProject

We started talking more about inflation and stagnation when high income earners saw their wages flattening relative to those at the bottom. We all know wages have been stagnant for a lot of Americans for some time, but the trend reversal post-COVID suddenly made this THE issue in (social) media.

One missing element is emotion. This isn’t something economists deal with well, but people have emotional responses to economic conditions. Affordability and inflation have emotional importance. There’s also salience. I’ve been saying to @markgsheppard.com is real wages became salient in 2023.

I am still shocked how many people think the civil rights movement, specifically for Black Americans,was just Rosa Parks, MLK Jr’s speech , A little slavery and water fountains.

They have no idea about the genocide, a whole people disconnected from their past, and racism in its current form.

Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”
migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

Beginning in Summer 2026, I will be one of the co-editors of Journal of Economic History. I will be taking over from Bishnu Gupta, who has done a fantastic job the last four years.

Looking for papers asking big questions. Answers must be convincing, but methodology is secondary IMO

“Those people are incompatible with us and our culture so they must be exiled” is not only about immigrants, but is the *exact* *language* used against First Nations. This is not xenophobia, it’s just plain old white supremacy.

In this season of hyper-consumerism, it is important to note that Black Americans regularly protested establishments that would not treat them equally and promoted those that did. The Green Book Project archives this rich history. greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject
