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 »

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

As the scientific evidence of the dangers of water fluoridation
continues to mount, there is no longer any room for doubt: those who
deny that adding hydrofluorosilicic acid to the water supply is in fact
causing
untold medical harm are simply ignorant of the scientific data
on the subject. From peer-reviewed studies in prestigious journals to

“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:

We've filed over a million signatures from concerned individuals, a

Now we're upping the ante.

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

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
The depression must continue.
How then has austerity been working out for you? Are you
enjoying the umpteenth year of a cut in pay in real terms? Does life
seem to be getting progressively more miserable and onerous with each
passing month? Aren't you at least somewhat appeased by how all this
will be worth it in the long run?George Osborne must certainly be hoping
that you are, as today's budget does next to nothing to
