22. Dark Harvest (2023) This is set in 1963 but it feels very 1990s, like an extra-long episode of Goosebumps with gore and swears. Could be worse.

I'm not sure if I clocked it or if someone just told me they were about Jesus! Like most kids I loved the idea of a secret world at the back of the closet but I don't remember caring about the rest of the lore really.

I never made it through the whole series - I remember liking The Lion etc but then somehow realizing it was . . . churchy when I tried the second the one (Prince Caspian?)

Vintage wrapping paper appreciation post 🩵💚🤍🧡

two gift wrapped presents - the smaller one is wrapped with M.C. Escher wrapping paper from the 1990s with a repeated bird print; the larger gift is wrapped with 1980s Gibson paper that shows a collection of animals including foxes, zebras, and jaguars in a green jungly background.

Idea: A mean-spirited black comedy about Christopher Columbus being shot down by England, France, and Portugal before managing to sucker the Spanish into funding him.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

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,…

When I organically discovered that this meme was from an old X-Files episode I screamed as if I were an archeologist who'd just discovered Pompeii.

I know this is a Gen X take, but how much affirmation do these people think is normal? Like at some point you have to learn to make peepee in the potty without anyone praising you for it.

The subject matter had definite echoes of Twin Peaks/Lynch and I thought the use of landscape/nature did too - all of the places in LM felt very surreal by the end.

20. Lake Mungo (2008) Low-budget Australian faux documentary that manages to be extremely spooky, I even jumped a time or two. Perfect watch for those who love ghost stories and hate gore.

I said I liked it. I didn't say it was good. Everyone hated Neil Marshall's follow-up to The Descent, except ME I think it rocked, esp. the ending

This is still half a thought, but, historically speaking, we used get rid of violent criminals mostly via extra-judicial murder; now we as a society have strongly disincentivized extra-judicial murder even though we still have lots of violent criminals.

There's this pervasive belief that a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant or ice cream shop or whatever is a good learning experience for teens but I had several of those jobs during high school/college and literally all I learned was that: 1. people suck 2. working sucks.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

19. Night of the Demons 2 (1994) Night of the Demons is a minor 80s classic; Night of the Demons 2 is horny 90s schlock, but in a good way, you know?
