and now it's just Succession as farce—the clinic director's controlling dad has dropped by for a full face-lift, film crew in tow, demanding his daughter, who has a secret palsy in her hand, give him a full face lift.

okay what. this has taken such a swerve into pro-plastic-surgery, the pursuit of beauty is the pursuit of self-actualization, I cannot believe this series started as horror. this is nuts. the unhappy doctor has been completely converted to pro-plastic surgery.

okay, it has now turned into a pretty interesting soap opera. it's less good now. I'd also like to know how they did the makeup-prosthetics-whatever for ugly-pre-plastic-surgery-face! Also: It seems very difficult to be a woman in Japan.

Some of the greatest minds in American politics have picked up on this "story." The lesson the GOP learned from Covid & January 6 is that they can just make up any old shit they want, act like it's true, use Musk's platform to circulate it, & get a certain portion of the population to believe it.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

EMERGENCY PROTEST AGAINST ICE. Protestors gathered at Foley Square on Friday after an ICE agent shot Bronx man Oscar Belgal last night. Hundreds of New Yorkers took to the streets demanding ICE get out of NYC and out of our communities everywhere. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Been thinking about Gen-X lore about drinking from hoses and no one caring whether we lived or died, and I think there's a lot of truth to it; I myself was kicked out of the house at 13, & repeatedly, and no one knows why. But I think this is also why so many of us turned into selfish hoarders. 1/?

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,…
