Logomachy To say that Damianwas sesquipedalianwould be an understatement for there was no abatementin his capacity for loquacityand not one trace of temerityin his pursuitof verbal dexterity. It was precisely this pompositymixed with verbositywhich made him describeKieran Thomas as “crepuscular”. Kieran Thomas was also more muscular. Damian nursed his black eyeand hoped Kieranmight be struck…

March 30th, 2026: Hey, I've got a store - perhaps some DINOSAUR COMICS MERCHANDISE would interest you?? – Over the weekend just gone I took some time to watch the latest Louis Theroux documentary – Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere – which relates how far we have gone in reverse with attitudes that men hold towards women. This blog post is not intended to be a review of that film but rather my…
As I approach formal retirement from my academic job, I’m still thinking about ideas in my main theoretical field of decision theory. But I’ve largely lost interest in publishing journal articles, leaving the chore of dealing with Manuscript Central and other robotic systems to my younger co-authors in the case of joint work, and not […]
I propose identifying structural vector autoregressions using 'shock-percentile' restrictions. These restrictions require the realisation of a structural shock in a selected episode to lie in the tail of the shock's historical distribution, representing the belief that a relatively large shock has occurred. I argue that shock-percentile restrictions are an attractive alternative to imposing numeric bounds on shock magnitudes, which are difficult to credibly elicit. Simulations demonstrate the potential for shock-percentile restrictions to provide identifying information. In two empirical applications, I exploit shock-percentile restrictions to disentangle the relationship between uncertainty and real activity, and to sharpen identification of the macroeconomic effects of US monetary policy.

Aside from Russell T. Davies getting sacked, Christopher Eccleston laid out an interesting condition that would bring him "back like a shot."
The weaknesses of social-scientific normativism are obvious. The basic assumptions refer to idealized action under pure maxims; no empirically substantive lawlike hypotheses can be derived from them. Either it is a question of analytic statements recast in deductive form or the conditions under which the hypotheses derived could be definitively falsified are excluded under ceteris […]

Claims that an Iran-backed group is carrying out attacks in European cities raise questions about why they’re not targeting countries directly involved in the US-Israeli war, and why they appear to communicate like Israelis. Strangely, suspects arrested in the attacks have been released on bail. A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of Ashab al-Yamin. Officially known as “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI),” or the “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right,” the group mysteriously appeared in early […] The post Who’s behind the mysterious ‘Iran-backed terror cell’ haunting Europe? first appeared on The Grayzone.

. Public debt is normally nothing to fear, especially if it is financed within the country itself (but even foreign loans could benefit the economy if invested correctly). Some members of society hold bonds and earn interest on them, while others have to pay taxes that ultimately pay the interest on the debt. However, the […]

I had an ultimately harmless encounter with ICE at a TSA checkpoint. It was a preview of a new, more sophisticated way to terrorize people.
