I think Slop Intelligence is perfect. :D

Trying to buy quality these days doesn't work unless you buy from an artisan. I bought a pair of expensive gloves with the hope they would last at least ten years. Less than a year later and the seams are starting to come undone. Gonna try and repair those too.

Feels* I love managing to fix something I bought new that turned out to be kinda crap quality. It's kinda the most ultimate fuck you to capitalism you can do without moving to a hut made of sticks in a forrest and living off the land.

The loop connecting my watch to its chain had broke. I think I managed to fix it with part of a small key ring. It fells like it's real sturdy at least.

You can't blame transgender people if you loose the districts where the candidates flipped their posotions on them. Being Transgender without care means always fighting suicide ideation. Yet you expect them to vote for those that don't support them...

The moon does influence the weather? Because gravity? Maybe not in the way they thought back then though?

This could actually explain our own right wing politicians all becoming radicalized. They do love X.

That was a completely new way to completely miss a point for me. Jon: a bunch of arguments Other guy: yeah, and I am willing to discuss about this with you. Pretending that the discussion hasn't allready started? Or completely missing that it has?

I have suspicion that the corpo game makers really want it this way though. Anything that gives their future AI slop a better chance...

Look at the lovely detailing on that guillotine! Did I spell that right?

That's awesome! I have been wanting to make a ceramic ball joint doll for a while, but the complexity of it is a bit intimidating. One of these days I will feel I have the skill to pull it off though.

I wonder how it would be living near a black hole, the universe around you changing seemingly way too fast.

These days I just can't get through dystopia, they hit too close to home. And sometimes the book is awesome and I am just tripped up by ADD.

The last (two, I think) Harry Potter books were like that, and that was way before I knew about Rowling being a downright cartoonish evil villain herself. It just felt so twisted and horrible, but I still couldn't stop reading.

Äsometimes I dnf books that I find interesting, but that still has nothing that keeps me reading. Then there are books that just, piss me off. And yet I keep reading and hating every second of it and feeling as I gained nothing.

I find it intersting how the tripple aaa videogame industry was a microcosm of this very thing before AI came along and it folded itself into that hype pretty much seamlessly. Publishers hate Steams AI disclosure rules as it cuts into sales. Gamers have seen this before and are tired of it.

Yeah, I admire said humour. Didn't mean to imply anything else. I am a scaredy cat though.

Right? Not just ignoring climate change, but actively trying to supercharge it...

It might be because I am Swedish and not Norwegian, but Trump with his oligarchs scare me too much to find any humour in this... They are morons, but morons with a lot of power none the less.

I am willing to believe he made some threats to China about Taiwan. But just because China taking Taiwan would bust the whole AI bubble he is so fond of on behalf of the oligarchs that give him all that money.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

I want to try needle felting. But I would probably need gauntlets, so I'll stick to ceramics for now. That looks awesome.
