Journalists who report Sam Alito's assurances that overturning same-sex marriage is "not realistic" without acknowledging that the conservative legal movement spent five decades building a Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade are, for all intents and purposes, lying to you

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

Friendly reminder that Don Jr was smart enough not to marry Kimberly Guilfoyle but Gavin Newsom was not. Gavin Newsom has worse instincts than Don Jr. Let that shit marinate for awhile, especially considering the pundits want you to believe Newsom is the future of the Democratic Party.

Edited 4 panel comic of Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin's dad approaches Calvin and says "playing internet slang? I'll show you something interesting"
"The two types of slang are Nazi and AAVE. All slang falls into these two categories. Rizz? AAVE. Chad? Nazi"
Calvin responds "yeah"
Calvin's dad continues 'serving cunt? AAVE. -Maxxing? Nazi. Despite being actually funny, -slop is nazi"

The final panel shows Calvin, eyes wide as he struggles to sleep.

There are many issues in the United States, but the unaccountability of the police, along with soft action on right-wing domestic terrorism, and the overlap between the two is one that if we don't deal with, we'll never achieve any sense of real freedom and peace.

It's not hard. Both Yglesias moderates and Khanna leftists give MAGA politicians legitimacy because they want MAGA's base. Ossoff simply does not give a shit about the MAGA base, which allows him to speak with fierce clarity about MAGA politicians. He is willing to bet on an anti-MAGA majority.

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,…
