Those of us on this side of the Atlantic have often heard, and even rallied around, the calls to ‘cancel the rent’. But rarely have we entered into the discursive terrain of abolishing rent altogether. Well, the latter is the nucleus around which Tracy Rosenthal’s and Leo Vilchis’ book Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End […]

“My grandfather used to say ‘and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel’ and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.” — X user @NickyFrank30

Magda Goebbels’s Strudel Recipe
Use strong white flour for a superior product.
Mix lukewarm water, oil, salt, and vinegar. Nothing breaks down bonds within gluten like acid. In the final product, the sourness will be undetectable.
Crack in an egg. You can’t make a tasty strudel without breaking some eggs.
Form the dough. Knead until it’s as elastic as the truth.
Set the dough out of sight and out of mind.
Ultra-Zionist billionaire Robert Shillman was one of Charlie Kirk’s most committed donors. But as Kirk fell under attack for his increasingly critical Israel views during his final weeks, sources say Shillman ended funding for TPUSA. As his campus tour approached, Kirk was subjected to an “almost daily” lobbying campaign from Netanyahu’s allies. The Turning Point USA campus in Phoenix, Arizona is the house that Charlie Kirk built. Consisting of six sterile, two-floor office buildings, the campus is itself a tribute […]

~by Sean Paul Kelley From time immemorial, even before humanity began writing, the Himalayas were never recorded as breached by a monsoon. During my trip across Central Asia in 2003 I traveled from Golmud, China to Lhasa, the provincial capital of Tibet–the moment we entered the Kunlunshan we were never lower than 10,000 feet (3,048 […]

So, Trump took a 10% stake in Intel, in exchange for releasing almost 9 billion dollars of subsidies without requiring Intel to meet various milestones. Is this bad? Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time the US government gave loans to both Solyndra and Tesla. Without those loans, neither company would have […]

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over, it’s gonna be like BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air, and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.

Over the years, some of us have tried to teach our economics doctoral students a bit about the importance of questioning the common ergodicity assumption. This assumption, often left unstated, underpins most mainstream economic models concerning preferences and expected utility. One of the problems has been the lack of an accessible textbook on ergodicity economics. […]
