I appreciated Jon Stewart’s final appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (sigh). These two extremely funny truth-tellers have soothed so many battered souls in recent years. Don’t miss the great and glorious Andra Day (24:20). #RiseUp

I've learned there's one major downside to hosting great postdocs: they leave!
All of us at our Stone Center will be sad to say goodbye to Zhexun & Severin. But we know they will come back to visit. Goodbye pains aside, we're excited and gratified that they're heading to excellent new positions.🎉
On May 6, 2026, @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social and @stone-lis.bsky.social co-hosted an event framed around @brankomilan.bsky.social new book: "The Great Global Transformation."
The video is now online Thanks to our excellent panelists, Daniel Markovits, Qin Gao, and @adamtooze.bsky.social.
