Earlier this year, Microsoft unveiled its new Majorana quantum processor which supposedly used topological qubits which are less susceptible to noise. Unfortunately for the company, that claim was quickly disputed by quantum researchers. Now, though, Microsoft researchers have published yet another paper to the arXiv claiming that they’ve made another quantum breakthrough.

Abby Innes goes in-depth into how neoliberalism has 'Sovietized' Britain, and the field of economics itself. Is Keir Starmer a Brezhnev or a Khrushchev? With a free trial, you can watch Abby give a lecture on Late Soviet Britain at https://iai.tv/video/neoliberalism-a-soviet-nightmare?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=description In this IAI Studio interview, political economist and LSE associate professor Abby Innes argues that Britain’s governing model has more in common with the Soviet Union than many would care to admit. Drawing on her book Late Soviet Britain, Innes explores how the UK’s embrace of managerialism and economic determinism has produced a system that promises technical neutrality but delivers ideological rigidity. Do we mistakenly treat economics as an exact science? Can a political system function when economic decisions are removed from democratic debate? And has Britain’s faith in market mechanisms created a new form of central planning? #neoliberalism #economics #sovietunion #ukpolitics Abby Innes is Associate Professor of Political Economy at the European Institute, London School of Economics. Her research focuses on state theory, post-communist transitions, and the political economy of the UK. She is the author of Late Soviet Britain: Why Materialist Utopias Fail. Interviewed by Harry Carlisle at HowTheLightGetsIn London, in September 2024. 00:00 Introduction 00:33 How did you make the connection between the modern British government and the Soviet Union? 05:06 Why has the field of economics been led so astray? Why is there still such an appeal to utopianism? 11:27 Why does the Left have a blind spot to economic methodology? 16:17 Is there a way we can navigate past this methodological rabbit-hole? 23:43 Keir Starmer: is he a Brezhnev or a Khrushchev? The Institute of Art and Ideas features videos and articles from cutting edge thinkers discussing the ideas that are shaping the world, from metaphysics to string theory, technology to democracy, aesthetics to genetics.

For many Americans, the government’s monthly jobs number was a pretty dull statistic — until a few days ago, when President Trump angrily fired the person responsible for producing it, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now, from Washington to Wall Street, many people are wondering whether you can still trust federal statistics if the president is willing to just get rid of people who give him facts he doesn’t like. On this episode, Ben Casselman joins The Daily to discuss how the government’s economic data suddenly turned into a national drama. Guest: Ben Casselman (https://www.nytimes.com/by/ben-casselman) , the chief economics correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading:  • President Trump fired America’s economic data collector. History shows the perils of such a move (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/business/trump-bls-firing-economic-reports.html) . • Until the president fired her, Erika McEntarfer was an economist with bipartisan support (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/us/politics/until-trump-fired-her-she-was-an-economist-with-bipartisan-support.html) .

Eighty years ago this month, on August 6th and 9th, 1945, the United States became the first and only nation to use nuclear weapons in warfare. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed over 200,000 people, most of them civilians. Yet in the eight decades since, America has never officially apologized for these attacks. ✨Dive deep into history at https://jeffrich.substack.com ✨Buy Blood and Ruins: The Great Imperial War, 1931-1945 here https://amzn.to/3H6Lt4i V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T: Why do we fight wars and how can we prevent them?

Language shapes how we understand and treat addiction. In this lesson, you’ll learn why outdated terms like “substitution therapy” or “clean” vs. “dirty” can reinforce stigma—and how to talk about medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in ways that reflect evidence-based practice. Discover why MOUD is not “just replacing one drug with another” and why relapse should never mean the end of care. 🎯 What You’ll Learn: - Explain why terms like "substitution therapy" and "medication-assisted treatment" are misleading - Describe the differences between addiction and physical dependence - Understand why MOUD should be considered first-line treatment - Identify harmful myths around relapse and treatment discontinuation - Apply non-stigmatizing language when discussing opioid use and recovery 📚 About the Course This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction — a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one. This course is supported in part by SAMHSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of financial assistance awards from grant #1H79FG000023 totaling $249,900 and grant #3H79TI081968-02S1 from SAMHSA totaling $1,354,651 with 100 percent funded by SAMHSA/HHS.

Is addiction a family disease? In this lesson, we explore how family dynamics influence recovery—and how loved ones can play an active role in the treatment process. You’ll learn about three family-focused strategies: the Johnson Intervention Model, 12-step programs like Al-Anon and Nar-Anon, and CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training). Discover which of these approaches has the strongest evidence for helping people enter treatment and improving family well-being. 🎯 What You’ll Learn: - Understand how addiction affects and is affected by family systems - Compare three family-based strategies: Johnson intervention, 12-step programs, and CRAFT - Identify which approach has the most robust evidence for improving outcomes - Learn how family members can set boundaries and support recovery without enabling - Recognize the emotional toll addiction takes on loved ones—and how they can heal too 📚 About the Course This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders.

When we think of addiction treatment, we often picture rehab or 12-step meetings—but that’s only part of the picture. This lesson explores the full spectrum of treatment settings, from peer support groups and outpatient visits to intensive residential and inpatient care. Learn how treatment is matched to a patient’s severity of illness, available supports, and recovery goals. Understanding these levels helps providers and patients choose the right care at the right time. 🎯 What You’ll Learn: - Recognize the full range of addiction treatment settings and their intensity levels - Distinguish between peer support, outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential, and inpatient care - Understand how patient acuity and support systems guide treatment placement - Identify the roles of multidisciplinary teams across settings - Appreciate the value of matching care to a patient's evolving clinical needs and recovery goals 📚 About the Course This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders.

Is abstinence the only valid goal for addiction treatment? In this lesson, we explore four treatment goal categories—ranging from harm reduction to complete abstinence—and how to align care with what your patient is truly ready for.

Why do we say “addict” for substance users but not “sugar abuser” for those with diabetes? Why does language matter so much in addiction care? In this first lesson, you’ll explore how everyday language choices—by healthcare providers, the media, and even patients—can either reinforce stigma or build trust. Learn how to talk about addiction in ways that support compassionate care. 🎯 What You’ll Learn • Explain how language influences stigma in addiction treatment • Recognize how stigmatizing terms show up in medical settings and everyday speech • Reframe common phrases to support a person-first approach to care • Reflect on how your own language habits may impact your patients' trust and outcomes 📚 About the Course This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction — a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one.

Four months ago the world’s media gathered on the White House lawn for what the president billed as Liberation Day.
