My weblog is on vacation till Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
We’re planning to complete the manuscript for the Second Version of our Macroeconomics textbook by yr’s finish and that’s what I’m working fervently on within the subsequent week.
I’m additionally getting ready for a dialog subsequent week with the Put up-Neoliberalism Oral Historical past Venture which is run out of Columbia College. The Venture is documenting the views of assorted writers who’ve contributed to matters of relevance to the theme. I’m very completely satisfied to have been chosen.
And this morning I used to be out in pressure – freezing on the native Parkrun. It’s Summer season and but the climate is like Winter.
The climate is being pushed by the so-called – Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) – occasion over Antartica, which has disrupted the Polar Vortex since September.
Not solely has the temperature on the pole risen considerably however the SSW has pushed chilly air and really excessive winds into the mid-latitudes – that’s, the place I reside.
The SSW has persevered for a number of months now and has made the Spring and early Summer season really feel very very like Winter, though I used to be away in Japan for the Spring.
So at the moment, on the Parkrun begin line it was freezing.
There have been additionally lots of people wearing humorous garments too, like this girl. I wasn’t positive what that was about and I used to be too chilly to ask.
However the working was good.
All the perfect for 2026.
