Holger Sanwald celebrating FCH's second goal
On a plane 10,000 meters in the sky, watching FC Heidenheim still hanging on to a tiny bit of hope of not getting relegated by defeating Union 3-1. Both of these things seem like minor miracles. 🙂
I'm not too worried about the players*. I can't say the same about any fans who might try to come to the US to watch the matches.
*note that I did not say I have no worries 😞

Switzerland and Germany's national teams are not nearly as racially/ethnically homogeneous as you might think:
Since there are no taxes on tips, I will take imaginary conversations for $3000-$10,000, please.
It's kind of funny how the US spent 80 years building up the post war world from GATT to NATO to the World Bank and IMF in their image and their benefit and then we elected someone so dumb that he doesn't understand that structure and is is ruining it.
unlike education, health care, child care or parental leave which is woke bull shit

Letter from the Selective Service System.
Not overly thrilled about the coincidence that this letter came to my teenager on the same day that Trump will give a speech on Iran.
Headline about trump's tariffs on switzerland
Given my wife is Swiss, Trump announcing 39% tariffs on Switzerland on Switzerland's National Holiday is one thing that jumps out to me personally as being ridiculously absurd.

Let's just say that someone violated social norms in the faculty lounge on Monday and Tuesday.
How does Italia manage to miss the World Cup yet again?!?
"it’s got major #demographic and #pipeline problems"
100% true
"is not a real science"
You might want to talk with some of your colleagues in Michigan's economics department about this.
Even Boss Tweed would be disgusted by this.
(archive document) Memorandum of Disapproval I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building." Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters. Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish. In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business. In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.
Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.
I always panic when trying to buy Bundesliga tickets and so I just ended up purchasing what are probably the worst seats possible in the Allianz Arena for the Bayern-Heidenheim match on May 2.

Sign in Florence that says "Please don't sit here, this is a university"
I hope this was posted outside of your seminar room. (I took this photo in Florence a few years ago.)
What a collapse by North Carolina and what a comeback by VCU!
I hope this isn't true, because this man is an absolute legend. (But I can understand why he might want to do it.)
me too!
At least the additional 15 minutes of extra time was exciting!
I did some research a few years ago with Kuhelika De and Ryan Compton on the effects of oil price shocks. Perhaps of interest to some of you now.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Congrats to Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland for winning gold in the men's Olympic downhill.
Congrats even more to my Swiss wife who exhibited unbridled joy** at this outcome.
**Unbridled joy by Swiss-German standards which means she smiled with quiet excitement. 😂😂😂
My first tweet from back in August 2017. It reads "I wish I had something exquisitely pithy to write for #myfirsttweet, but my mind is mostly preoccupied with what a disgrace the POTUS is.
This was my first tweet on the other site. I would say that some things never change, but they have... and they have gotten much worse.
At this stage, my main consolation is that ESPN+ televises all of the Bundesliga 2 matches.
(But I am looking forward to attending FCH's matches in Munich and Cologne in May.)
As a FC Heidenheim supporter, it was sadly not that overly surprising to see them miss so many finishes.
But it was an entertaining match.
At halftime, I decided to boot up my computer just so I could do this. You're welcome. #NCAAFB #CFP #Doink @sarahspain.com @cjzero.bsky.social
