How Chronic Pain Has Made Me Happier
Seven years ago I did so much cycling that my legs blew up. My body completely gave out and my brain decided that from now on everything was going to hurt all the time so that I would stop running myself into the ground. Since then I've had every type of scan ever invented and been to every kind of doctor under the sun. No one has ever found anything physically wrong with me. More »

Why Did 35 Democrats Join The GOP To Defeat The Senate Budget?

Margaret Thatcher as the first climate alarmist
... well, the first influential one ... I have always found her personal attitude to the global warming orthodoxy puzzling if not fascinating. In December 2009, in Berlin, her ex-aide Lord Monckton told me a mixed and confusing story about her real beliefs and about the role of the striking miners – an influence that Martin Durkin's documentary claimed to be important for her decision to create t

Old dogs
As I get older, I try to keep the sense of my own decline from infecting my view of everything else. Solipsism is a vice more commonly associated with the young and their often reckless insistence that nothing outside their own minds can possibly matter. They pinball their way through lives, their own and others, until the damage caused and encountered finally breeds a little caution, a realizatio

“Jihad in Syria,” By Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi
Jihad in Syria By Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi for Syria Comment, 20 March 2013 How do the jihadist rebels generally conceive of jihad in the Syrian civil war? One useful way to look into this question is to examine the Qur’anic verses pertaining to warfare cited in propaganda statements. In this context, one recurring verse is 22:39, which runs as follows: ‘Permission [to fight] has been granted to th

Bees need help now! Time to up the ante.
With other options exhausted over the past two years, beekeepers and partner organizations are now suing EPA to protect pollinators. We've filed over a million signatures from concerned individuals, a legal petition and a notice of intent to sue. And all to little avail. Now we're upping the ante. There's too much at stake for EPA to stay stuck. Bees are in trouble, and they're vit

Art Dubai, part 2
I have a post on the LRB blog describing a few pieces I've seen this week (selected in a pretty arbitrary manner).  This is "A Short History of Tall Men," featuring miniature detailed gold statues of failed strongmen whose names we've mostly forgotten. There are seven of them floating in globes of synthetic glass. The piece inspires a surprising tenderness for these failed leader

WWF exposes seven sins of dam building
Gland/Berlin - On World Water Day, WWF criticizes dam projects worldwide that continue to violate fundamental sustainability criteria. In the WWF report, "Seven Sins of Dam Building," numerous dam projects under construction or planned are given a failing review by the conservation organization.

Zen and the Art of Corporate Overthrow
HBO’s Enlightened, which was cancelled this week, proved in its two short seasons to be one of the great American comedies about work. That may seem like a big claim, given the disproportionate number of TV comedies set in workplaces. But usually, the workplace is little more than a pretext to put wacky characters in close quarters and force them to interact. Enlightened aspired to be something

The depression must continue. And continue.
The usual way budgets pan is out that they begin to fall apart the day after.  Last year, Osborne's wheezes were so shambolic and leaked so thoroughly beforehand that it was clear on the day what a disaster it was.  This year we've had the spectacle of the chancellor himself making clear just how the figures were fixed to meet his objective.Osborne then admitted this morning as was suggested y
