just remembered that in the underrated cypress hill song "cock the hammer", there's a bit where sen dog sings "hear me growl, grr, howl / I've got night vision like a wise old owl". can anyone think of other cypress hill lyrics which could also appear in julia donaldson books?

This graph is a good reason to introduce my new paper: By Generation and by Design: A Review of the Empirical Rent Control Literature. This paints a (somewhat) misleading picture of rent control evidence because it groups all rent control together regardless of design feature.

Kan någon jurist förklara för mig vad alla läckor i Borlänge innebär? Det verkar som varje spaningsuppgift, tips, kill- och tjejgissning inom polisen åker rakt ut. De utpekade är dömda på förhand pga läckor. Nästan som man inte tror på att bevisen kommer räcka i annan än rättegång på x.
