This a very well-written, intimate, and visceral story by Charlotte Cowles at @TheCut . Scams are alarmingly common, and many victims suffer in silence... Trust your gut. @safenotscammed

Wild story of NYMag's finance writer being scammed out of 50k. Easy to say, "what was she thinking?", but empirically, huge rise in bank fraud now. AI makes it even easier. "Proof of human" not subject to fraud but also usable by old folks: very hard.

If personnel is policy, then the NSC has a chronic issue on its hands... I recently talked with US national security historian @johngansjr to get his take on the NSC. It's not a pretty one. Duty and ambition drive the military and intelligence professionals that funnel into the

Shocking stats from @TheEconomist : "Over the past three years [RU] has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 fell by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti."

Even that great liberator Ulysses S. Grant could not escape the modern managerial dilemma that is governance by inbox, having once written 42 military dispatches by hand in a single day.

Alexis de Tocqueville as social science GOAT contender, IMHO.

Everyone talks about how prescient de Tocqueville's predictions were, but more impressive is how mature was his theory: culture + institutions, considering historical inertia, mismatch btwn desired outcomes and institutional contexts. More mature than much social science today.

The greatest action film that is actually a Christmas movie is @Schwarzenegger 's 1996 classic, Jingle All the Way. Yet this is only his second best film. The first, of course, is his intro to the 1990 reboot of Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose." Merry Christmas, #EconTwitter !
