In California, survivors of solitary confinement
who have spent years trying to seriously limit the practice are facing yet another setback
as state prison officials unwind the minor reforms made in recent years.
Those reforms, which had reduced the number of rule violations that could make someone eligible for isolation and increased out-of-cell time for people in solitary,
were part of a compromise Governor Gavin Newsom proposed after his 2022 veto of the Mandela A…
in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

Ukraine is the victim of a lawless, brutal, unprovoked invasion by a politically backward and dysfunctional would-be empire ruled by a murderous autocrat.
That assessment was obvious on Feb. 24, 2022 when the full-scale invasion was launched,
and it was obvious in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.
The challenge of writing about the war is that once you’ve said that,

Why is war so economically costly?
Our answer is that modern war lowers output not only by destroying productive factors,
but also by making the surviving economy work less efficiently
Our key policy implication is that restoring allocative efficiency
–and preparing institutional arrangements that facilitate rapid reallocation in times of stress
–is critical for sustaining economic capacity, defense, and national security.
