The levying of taxes concerns not just one principle but the principle underlying the authority of the national state. This right to levy taxes is linked to the supervision of economic activities within a certain territory, but it is becoming an ever more fictitious basis as the scope increases for operations at the level of […]

A “party within the party” is forcing its corporate-aligned agenda on voters — and spending millions to crush populist Democrats in districts that will likely decide control of Congress.
Nades Raviraj and Danny Walker Big and uncertain shocks have pushed UK inflation above the 2% inflation target over the past few years. How did financial markets view the Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC’s) monetary policy during this unprecedented period? We show that markets have come to perceive the MPC’s policy stance as increasingly dependent on … Continue reading Financial markets point to very data-dependent monetary policy
In the first article in this series we discussed freedom under capitalism. The conclusion was simple: capitalist freedom for the vast majority of the population means the right to choose your master, your job, if you can find one. Once you have a master, you do what they say for most of the day, for […]

I love liver. All kinds. All ways. I’ve loved liver ever since the first time I had it thrown at me during a Benihana hibachi dinner. If liver and onions is on a menu, you bet your sweet bippy that I’m ordering it. Have I ever told you that I was a weird child? Anyway,Continue reading 208. Sauteed Chicken Livers (in Spanish Rice)

Are you free if you need a job? For most people lack of a job means homelessness (indeed many homeless have jobs, that’s how far things have sunk) and you’ll go hungry, and almost certainly wind up dead sooner than otherwise. This was well understood by the people who created capitalism. The central requirement of […]
Like many others, I left the United States because I wanted to get away from Trumpʼs America. But now that my only entertainment opportunities involve two men riding neon glow-in-the-dark motorcycles inside an enormous orb, I must ask myself if I made the right decision. It wasn’t easy to move. But I consider myself an open person and felt compelled to leave a place that was becoming increasingly intolerant and closed off. Little did I know that this openness would bring me to this regional theater, with this man, whose thighs are covered with henna tattoos, and who’s rocking a loincloth that’s not really a diaper but also not quite a thong. My friends back home say that they’re jealous of me. I understand why—they’re still there, which means they see terrible news every day. But it also means they’re not seeing this woman in a gold bikini pick up bamboo sticks with her toes and construct a tower for the peacocks. The Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi has accused the global investment fund Apollo of downplaying its ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
We are proud to share that the Drupal Association has been awarded a grant from the Alpha-Omega Project, a project of The Linux Foundation, which seeks to help open source projects identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities. As AI-generated commits and AI-driven security threats become the norm, open-source ecosystems must evolve rapidly. This funding directly strengthens the already mature Drupal Security Team, ensuring our core ecosystem is hardened against the modern, AI-age vulnerabilities.
It is widely believed (by me, just now) that William Shakespeare revised his plays constantly, fueled by ambition, self-doubt, and whatever they drank instead of coffee back then. Based on that and vibes alone, here is what he probably thought each time he tweaked the same scene again. 1. Ah! A fresh draft. This one shall be perfect and require no further changes. 2. What if the line were slightly sadder? 3. What if it were also a little funny? 4. Can something be tragic and funny? I shall invent this. 5. “To be, or not to be”—hmm. Feels wordy. Perhaps just “To be”? 6. No, no, no. Put the rest back. It was good. It was fine. 7. Actually, what if he says it while holding a skull? 8. Where would he get the skull? 9. I will simply give him one. The audience will not question it. 10. I am a genius. 11. Wait. What if the skull has a name? 12. Everyone loves it when objects have names. 13. Yorick. Yes. That feels right. 14. I should write that down. 15. I did not write that down. 16. Back to the top. “To be, or not to be”—still excellent. | ||
