Monday assorted links
1. “Increases in pain in recessions are borne predominantly by women.”
2. Covid earlier in the U.S. than had been thought. (Cowen’s 17th Law)
3. Josh Marshall on media bias and Afghanistan. And this one is brutal: “Out of a combined 14,000-plus minutes of the national evening news broadcast on CBS, ABC, and NBC last year, a grand total of five minutes were devoted to Afghanistan…”
4. Thread on the metaverse, and why securities regulation has suddenly become so onerous.
5. “…universalists have fewer friends, spend less time with them, and feel more lonely.”
