it would be the easiest thing in the world to like halloween but i think the last like five halloweens in a row have been disappointing. plans getting cancelled or having to work or something along those lines. never a catastrophe or anything, but enough to know that it prolly isnt my holiday

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,…

finished my first draft of Everything Must Go! i decided to split the story in two, for a lot of reasons. the second half will come... a long while from now. Currently, I'm going to focus on finishing (Manifest), and then I'll move to PARACOSM rewrites!

finally finished the title illustration #pixelart
pixel art of a woman with dark skin and curly hair sitting in a field. she wears a tank top and pants, and is looking up and to the side. the field curves up and away into the distance, fading into white; no sky is visible. the words "tubular logic" wrap around her head in a circle.

Ra's actually a pretty recent read, on recommendation from some folks in the Inchworm discord server. (If you also enjoy the works of Wildbow, then I guess that's another tick in the column). I'm still not done, actually, but I plan to finish Ra sometime this week.

The God’s black boots land with a thunk on the front window, and now Bell can see them better. Beneath the cloak they only wear a plain black unadorned dress that reaches their knees, and below, a sheer black form fitting pair of socks(?) that show no skin. Covering the lower half of their face is an enormous green scarf, similarly embroidered, which blazes with their cloak and dress in the whipping winds. Their hair is long and dark, loose, in an enormous frizzy sheet that, along with the long ends of the scarf (easily as long as they are tall), streams behind them magnificently.
Another factor in Bell’s reluctancy to react is that the God does not regard her in any way. No eye contact, no acknowledgement for her, a fellow living being, from another. She was not even a thing, as far as this creature was concerned. 
Definitely a God, she thinks, but as she stares into its eyes, she recognises something in this being that stands perpendicular to her gravity. It’s almost familiar, in seeing the face of someone only in photographs, the lens’ focal length distorting the three-dimensional topography of their features. She tries to recall the faces of the Gods, to cross reference, and even her hazy recollection informs her that, no, this does not look like any of them.
As the figure unsheathes their sword, she catches glimpse of their eyes: black, with no distinguishment between the iris and the pupil. Not a God’s gold, not even the vibrant unusual misshape of a typical Saint. What is this she’s looking at? 
The figure raises its sword, chanting. 
The conclusion strikes her: this is not a living thing.
It drives the sword into the window, cleaving the ship in half.

obscenely predictable and in no particular order. i honestly could've put any weakerthans album up there, but Reunion Tour was my first. if i had to pick a favourite right now, it'd probably be Left and Leaving
Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos
Reunion Tour by The Weakerthans
Leash Aggression by Pigeon Pit
The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists
The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats
Castaways and Cutouts by The Decemberists
Beware of the Maniacs by The Dodos
Feather River Canyon Blues by Pigeon Pit
Fluent in Stroll by Big D and the Kids Table

I love time loops too! But it didn't utilise the setup well, IMO. I felt like the plot often twisted itself into knots just for the sake of twisting, and none of the characters had much depth. I've heard Subaru experiences some growth later on, but watching him felt like a train wreck in slow motion

so many artists i respect really enjoy re:zero and i've given it so many tries and it's just a nothingburger for me. i really don't get what's so appealing about it. maybe it gets better but i've seen most of season 1 and i think eight hours of story is more than enough to find your footing

"lateen sail" is mentioned in both Bridges and Balloons + Long White Veil. lateen is not a fabric but i thought it was. whoops. i cut a few fabric/fashion metaphors ("the hills of oconee made a seam to hem me in"). also rip to The Hazards of Love, their best album, not having a single mention lol

i didn't use my record player for like 2 weeks and now it's distractingly slow. wouldn't be as much of a problem if it isn't tucked into a nook. and if the potentiometer wasn't on the bottom. sigh.

tbf someone sitting you down and explaining the plot of a book you are currently reading is annoying. but also on a semi-public forum i really don't see the issue with discussing the core premise of a story, especially if that story is insanely short and you can just read it. idk i just dont get it

i know i'm the weird one who often enjoys being spoiled. telling me that some cool shit happens later in a story is a surefire way to get me to experience it at some point. but even to most people, it's obvious that any plot point that's ruined by knowing it ahead of time is bad by its very nature.

think i had a pretty similar pace when i wrote my second novel; sometimes the inspiration just flows. also helps that today i lapsed into "dialogue only, scenes <200 words" mode again. it's really efficient for montages, and not having to dictate actions or scene setting means words flow very easily
