The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

The plan: Build a 200-room, 300-bathroom data center, 70% subsidized by federal and local governments. Make it accessible to the train. Build a supermarket for the 800 people doing 24/7 on-site maintenance. Call it the future of technology. Make OpenAI pay for the rest. Then let people move in.

You know who was at 9/11? Within an hour of the tower strike, Canadian firefighters were loading up gear to get to New York to help. In this photo: Ottawa crew - Brian Foley, Steve Carmichael, Gordie Thorpe and John Hamilton. You know who didn't show up? Donald Trump.

Van Gogh bent perspective to feeling—floors tilt, walls lean, skies rise and swirl. Space becomes emotion as structure gives way to the pulse of his inner world.

I had a conversation about the new album and couldn't help being ridiculous about it #Madonna

We are not the same name with the top saying you love Madonna's confessions on Dance Floor part 2 because it's critically acclaimed and amazing. I love it Madam X, rebel Heart and MDMA because every Madonna album in the last four decades should be critically acclaimed. We are we are not the same.

Dalí engineered images that flip depending on how you look. Swans Reflecting Elephants (1937) is built around reflection-as-structure: the mirrored forms lock into a second subject, revealing a double-image trick executed with calm realism.
