"The problem is that the same justices who keep blaming their colleagues and the press and the American public for broad declining trust in the institution seem to have no comprehension of what kinds of behaviors appear to be inappropriate because they actually are inappropriate."

Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) on economics training and the new open access Core textbook:

"How is it possible that a coterie of self-appointed court sorcerers to the world’s governments manage to keep their jobs despite being regularly, predictably, and catastrophically wrong?"

Answer: indoctrination

At last, a new Econ 101 textbook – Capital As Power

Originally published at pluralistic.net Cory Doctorow Neoclassical economics is a hell of a drug. It has no theory of prices, no account of inflation, and its models all presume the existence of a perfectly rational “homo economicus” who is a “utility maximizer” with perfect information. Even the Queen is wise to the scam, grilling Bank […]

I don't think it's a problem if Post is essentially an evolution of Paygo Media. But it does seem a bit noticeable that

(1) the people promoting it the earliest are *bigger-name* journalists or other writing professionals, and

(2) they're often just casually dropping mentions of and/or referral codes for Post deep in Twitter threads talking about how to archive your Twitter account (Kara Swisher), or how Mastodon is too hard (Max Boot) or "inundated" (Joanne Freeman) by comparison.

Good advice for folks running open Mastodon instances in the US, regarding DMCA registration.

Doing this early isn't too much work or cost, but will avoid *much* more costly (time and $) problems later, especially if you have a large general-purpose and open instance https://twitter.com/rahaeli/status/1593819064161665024

@[email protected] @uncpress Important book for U.S. #lawyers and #lawprofs to read as we try to teach, study, and practice law when the Supreme Court is dominated by rogue judges and so many electeds disregard basic rule of law. How to avoid enabling sham law? That’s the question. Another useful book: Legal Sabotage: Ernst Fraenkel in Hitler's Germany. #LawFedi
