To any of my friends still inside - make them write it down. If they refuse to write it down, *YOU* write it down in a memorialization email to them: “As we discussed on XYZ date, you instructed me to… you stated this was in order to….” This either forces them to own it or walk it back. CYA.

Yes, my dastardly plan to make PCs so expensive that people will be willing to rent time on all the PCs that *I* have, thus meaning people won't own their own computers! Except me. Who has to pay for all the computers. And the bandwidth. And the power. Wait hold on my plan seems very stupid.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in
Kansas
A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

Every so often I walk by a tree pit that has been buried in volunteer vines
Black and white comic. 
1. a woman (the cartoonist) walks down the sidewalk listening to their headphones in a sweatshirt and cargo pants. 
2. She comes across the yard of a house.
3. She looks over and sees it has been overtaken by vines. Just a jungle's worth.
4. She stops and sees a man in a flannel shirt in a trucker cap standing on his stoop with a bottle of beer.
5. He says with a dark look on his face: "'Just throw the old Jack-O-Lanterns on the compost pile,' she aid. 'They'll rot away in no time,' she said."
6. Man: "This is my life now." The woman backs away slowly.

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,…

Well folks it happened: a U.S. district court has ruled that Americans no longer have to go through the ATF and register to acquire short-barreled rifles, shotguns or suppressors. This is a massive change to gun laws in this country and also...not likely to change much. I'll explain.
Although the district court’s injunction applies only to plaintiffs and certain other specified 
persons, the Department has determined to exercise its enforcement discretion to create greater 
uniformity, consistent with the Attorney General’s statement today. Consequently, effective 
October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA 
before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any 
other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items 
to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply 
uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the 
litigation
