    • Book Review: The Spirit Level
      Given all the controversy around inequality, this is a must read book. About three-quarters of it is what I call “proving the obvious”: that inequality is in fact bad in every way imaginable. Inequality correlates to almost every bad social metric you can imagine. Health, lifespan, performance, violence, happiness and so on. The more unequal […]

    My DIL teaches pole– it is incredibly demanding and the ladies unfortunately don’t get anywhere near enough credit for their skill, endurance, and tolerance of pain, not to mention their general athleticism.

    She’s the best out there right now. There’s always that one that stands out and wins all the competitions.

    This is him. Evgeny Greshilov. I’m sure he’d be the one taking gold for the men.

    • Washington, DC trip report August 19, 2015
      Body:  Last week I went down to Washington, D.C. to deliver a paper at a conference in the technical field where I worked, ten years or so and two or three careers ago, before the dot.com trash. The trip was solely an exercise in merit-making, since I doubt very much I'll get work in the field, but reconnecting with old friends was really great -- even […]

    • Ain't it the truth babe? August 21, 2017
      A lefty woman was murdered, and others injured, in a terrorist attack on counter-protesters of a Nazi action. Naturally, the fascists claim the "alt-left" was violent, too.
