I have always loved reading him, even or especially when I disagreed with him. He was so unapologetically liberal, and saw clearly what was going on in Eastern Europe, unlike many in Germany.

@lokshin.bsky.social and @ilkokowalczuk.bsky.social know much more about that, see their posts.

One of Germany‘s staunchly liberal voices is no more, Richard Herzinger has passed away. @alanposener.bsky.social wrote his obituary for Welt. www.welt.de/debatte/arti...

I’ve decided not to post my annual “women on the Econ job market” thread this year. Social media has splintered too much, and now that I’ve left academia I’m focused on other priorities.

A new exhibition on “Ten Centuries of Polish Russophobia” has opened in Moscow, organised by a state historical society.

The display presents the Kremlin's revisionist view of history, including downplaying Soviet responsibility for the Katyn massacre.

🇪🇺 Last year the EU exported *€80 billion* clean tech products.

The @bruegel.org European Clean Tech Tracker contains a dedicated trade section where you can break these flows down for yourself 👇

Rocked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Beijing’s support for Moscow, a wildly unbalanced trading picture and a diplomatic dynamic where the European side feels it's ignored by Beijing, Porter said it was “hard to disagree” with the suggestion that ties were at an all-time low

(It took several people at the Amt and the Embassy in Bern weeks to figure out what to do, so that after 3 more visits to the Amt with 7 weeks-old twins we finally met the only sane person at the Standesamt who looked at this and said: not really a problem, that's fine, hier unterschreiben.)

My twins were born in Switzerland, but a trip to Bern to get a temp ID for them to move to Berlin? Nah, not worth it. Nobody checks on the trains.

The heart attack I caused at the Anmeldung in Berlin when I admitted that I had smuggled my twins out of Switzerland. 💥

Yeah. I had to raise twins, so the answer is yes. (Was trying my best, and getting a lot better now that they are older.)

Finished reading @marietjeschaake.bsky.social's The Tech Coup. It is a great book that appeared at a very unfortunate moment: the warning is spot on, and the analysis of the world of 2024 is very insightful, but I think nobody knew how quickly the world was going to get worse from then. (1/n)

I was so used to memorising phone numbers that I even knew some of the early mobile numbers by heart.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Yeah, that part is hilarious as it is mostly (though by no means only) car drivers themselves that are stuck on a highway and pay the prize (that nobody could have predicted!!)
