No science, no disease prevention, no education department, no climate change adaptation, and full-on racism. Seems like we are not very far from going back to the Stone Age!

@MediumThomas @Microsoft @Outlook I am still not sure if my emails are going through. They are not showing in the sent items, but not in drafts and outbox either. This is so messed up.

I have been there on that alternative social media site for quite some time, but have not used it at all. Now I am planning to. I am there as @nahian.bsky.social Let's connect?

Nothing particularly special to put a "spotlight" on me, but the MSU @foodsecuritylab was kind enough to feature me in their series "FSG Spotlight", thanks to Austin Witt. I share insights on my motivation for pursuing development, ongoing projects etc.

Asked ChatGPT to create a photo of me based on what it knows about me. I’m not a well composed person like this. There are a few typos in the text (along with book titles Causal Economics instead of Causal Inference , and "Cavlopmont" (!)), but it did a fairly good job!

It’s kind of amusing to see how all the so-called prediction models and simulations failed to account for reality in the U.S. election. The political bubble has burst, and now we’ll see how the economic bubble grows and (if) survives.

See how a former State Minister of Land in Bangladesh accumulated almost $1B by looting public money. This guy was "assigned to" own a major bank in the country, and had controls over so many other businesses. He channeled his money to UK through Dubai.
