Un'altra esecuzione di un cittadino americano da parte dell'ICE. In questo video si vede un nugolo di uomini che circondano un uomo ormai a terra, lo pestano, e lo uccidono con dei colpi di arma da fuoco, in un contesto in cui non vi รจ alcuna evidenza di una minaccia alla vita degli agenti.

It's a model about the interaction between eating and exercising, being fit and body weight.
We show that resting (for some time) can be an excellent idea, and we give a formal definition to the notion of lifestyle and remediation plans if often casually used in the literature.

Happy to share that the Journal of Health Economics has accepted our paper "Obesity, Sedentary Behavior and Lifestyle: A Lifecycle Model of Eating and Physical Activity"!

Nice way to start 2026.

ICE, Trumpโ€™s private army How a federal agency became a paramilitary force, built a parallel prison system, and now answers to the president aloneโ€”while Washington lectures Europe on democracy

๐Ÿงต For the past two days, weโ€™ve been watching something obscene unfold.
The Trump administration is portraying the victim of ICE violence as a terrorist and the killer as a hero shielded by absolute immunity.
On one point, however, they tell the truth.

As of this writing, the retraction stands with its factually inaccurate notice. I continue
to seek its withdrawal and replacement with a corrective notice that accurately reflects
both the scientific committeeโ€™s conclusions and the actual content of the March 2025 publications.

Da quando la Commissione Europea ha multato X, gli oligarchi russi e americani gridano alla censura.

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.
