New regulatory guidance now blocks most shareholders from easily communicating before corporate votes.

As I have argued, explanations are not deductive proofs in any particularly interesting sense. Although they can always be presented in the form of deductive proofs, doing so seems not to capturing anything essential, or especially useful, and usually requires completing an incomplete explanation. Thinking of explanations as proofs tends to confuse causation with logical […]

The most notable difference between Tom Homan and Bovino is that Homan has deported a lot more people — and done it at a national scale.

Thank you so much for helping us welcome our new baby into the world. We’ve done a thesis amount of research as first-time parents, so here’s an overview of what we’d love from family and friends, and what we’re prepared to return or donate. It’s adorable how the baby—not us—is SO picky.

For strollers, we’d like one of the most expensive ones—either the Nuna, the Doona, or the Buggaboo. While we know there are so many other great brands out there, we specifically do not want the FrickaFracka, BoopBoopBB, MaxiKangaroo, CyberStroll, Zzzzzoona, Goona, Swoona, StorkChaser, BeepBeepLUXE, BabyGoWeeeeee, or the JoggyBoy.

For gifts related to my breasts, the Boppy and the My Brest Friend nursing pillow are best. We’re also interested in the Tits4Tots Cushion, the Boobie Bolster, the Deluxe Udder Assist, and the Milking Wedge XL. Please be aware: There was a recent recall on the ChestRest Classic and the OucheeNipee 2.0.

When it comes to baby carriers, we’re pretty open. We love BabyBjörn, Infantino, and Artipoppe. We hate TumTumTaxi, Daddy Donkey, and Nugget Hauler.

Congressional investigators found widespread medical neglect at migrant detention centers as private prison firms are set to cash in on immigration enforcement.

This Saturday morning, I was preparing to take my six-year-old son to a local museum for some much-needed quality time. I was enjoying a temporary moment of peace after a Friday in which tens of thousands of people participated in an ‘ICE Out’ shutdown and strike of economic activities, as labour and community organisers successfully […]

Take your time.
You have to eat the whole cake, but you don’t have to eat it all in thirty seconds. A sitting can take as long as you need. Pacing yourself will reduce the risk of choking. Do the smart thing and slow down while you eat the entire cake off a cake stand, top down, in one sitting.

Don’t eat anything else the rest of the day.
An entire cake is high in calories, fat, and sugar. You’re going to eat the whole cake off a cake stand, top down, in one sitting, so the best thing you can do for your health is avoid taking in any more of those things in the lead-up to eating the cake. We won’t lie to you: You’ll still exceed your recommended daily allotment of calories, fat, and sugar—an entire cake is big. But this will limit the damage.

Be in good shape.
It’s best to embark on eating an entire cake off a cake stand, top down, in one sitting, after many years of a diet high in whole fruits and vegetables, plus lean protein, along with at least thirty minutes of exercise five times per week. That way, your body is more likely to be able to take the impact of the cake.

This was the situation when they fired: Right hand holding his phone. Left hand on the ground. Zero threat to anyone. His gun, holstered, which he never went for, had been removed by an agent. This is an execution. The Agent has not been positively identified (though there’s a possible ID floating around), and was […]

Ever since it became evident that Trump was likely to be re-elected, I’ve been among the most pessimistic of commentators on the likely course of US politics (most recently here for example). I’ve also been nowhere near pessimistic enough. I assumed that Trump would follow the course of dictators like Putin and Orban, gradually eroding […]

“The word ‘computer’ only really slid over to mean ‘a machine’ in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, once we started building mechanical and then electronic devices to do that work instead [of people]. We did not name the machines after some abstract idea. We named them after the humans they were replacing.”

Last week, Donald Trump did more than ruffle feathers as the rich and powerful met for their annual get-together in the Swiss mountain retreat. His tariff threats over Greenland finally awakened world leaders from their slumber. Seemingly, they have now realised that Trump can’t be ‘managed’ after all, and he represents a fundamental break in […]

A few years back, I had an interesting discussion over at the Real-World Economics Review Blog with Paul Davidson on ergodicity and the differences between Knight and Keynes concerning uncertainty. It all began when I commented on Davidson’s article Is economics a science? Should economics be rigorous? : LPS: Davidson’s article is a nice piece — but […]
