@iamjohnoliver I am writing to share my sincere thanks for the incredible work you and your team do on Last Week Tonight. It is a rare feat to find a program that manages to be both profoundly educational and consistently hilarious, but you hit that mark every single week. Your ability to take complex, often overlooked subjects and break them down with such wit and clarity has truly changed the way I look at the world. I find myself walking away from every episode not just entertained, but significantly more informed. In my book, you are quite simply the best entertainer working today. Thank you for the deep dives, the sharp satire, and for making "learning something new" the highlight of my week. Keep up the amazing work John.

What just happened? At 2:30 PM ET today, CBS News reported that President Trump was considering "boots on the ground" in Iran. Then, at 3:43 PM ET, President Trump said "I don't want to do a ceasefire with Iran," with the S&P 500 hitting a new 2026 low. Exactly 90 minutes later, at 5:13 PM ET, President Trump said the US is "considering winding down" the war with Iran. Between the 3:43 PM ET and 5:13 PM ET comments, the S&P 500 had already risen nearly +1% on NO news. By 6:15 PM ET, the S&P 500 rallied +1.8% from its low, adding +$900 BILLION in market cap. Markets are now closed until Monday.

@Mr_Derivatives I truly enjoy your posts. But after listening to @billmaher, I sometimes think you have TOD (terminally online disorder). How do you have time to make money in the market & 'Tweet' so much? You need to get a life. There is so much more to life than getting likes.

The Fed targest 2 to 3% inflation. That's a myth - or worse, a lie. Anyone living in the real world over the past five years knows that price increases have been much higher than that.

NOW THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AM OFFICIALLY PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (THANK YOU DONALD!), I HAVE MANY BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MAKE! FIRST, EVERY TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NULL AND VOID, STEPHEN MILLER AND EVERY TRUMP GOON IS FIRED, AND THE TRUMP CORRUPTION PROBE IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED! HEALTH CARE IS NOW FREE FOR ALL AMERICANS (NO MEASLES!) AND ALL MOMS GET FREE CHILDCARE SO WE CAN HAVE MORE BABIES!!! ALSO CANNABIS IS NOW LEGAL AND ABORTION IS BACK FOR WOMEN WHO WANT IT. I WILL SOON BE BANNING ALL TICKETMASTER FEES AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE COMMERCIALS ALLOWED DURING NBA AND NFL GAMES, AS WELL AS ALL BRAVO “REAL HOUSEWIVES” SHOWS (LONGER EPISODES!). EVERY AMERICAN FAMILY NOW GETS A “TARIFF AND GAS SPIKE REFUND” TO BUY A CHEAP ELECTRIC CAR! THE COUNTRY IS NOW RUN BY SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY COMPLETE A SENTENCE. AMERICA IS NOW “HOT” BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DYSLEXIC PRESIDENT INSTEAD OF A BRAIN-DEAD ONE. BIG UPGRADE!!! — GOVERNOR GCN

This is the first time in more than 30 years that financials have corrected while the S&P 500 wasn't even in a pullback yet.

Want 8 reasons to stop eating at fast-food restaurants? 1. McDonald’s fries contain 19 ingredients. Homemade fries need 3. 2. Subway bread has so much sugar it’s legally classified as cake in Ireland. 3. Chicken nuggets are only about 40% actual chicken. 4. Taco Bell beef was sued for being only 35% real meat. 5. Fountain soda machines grow mold and bacteria inside the nozzles. 6. Most fast-food salads have more calories than the burgers. 7. The “grill marks” on your burger are printed on at the factory. 8. One fast-food meal can inflame your gut lining for up to 3 days. You’re welcome.

The truth: No one is thinking about you nearly as much as you think. They’re busy thinking about themselves. So stop comparing, stop worrying about their opinions, and focus on your goals.

The only reason I do not allow my children to play in the middle of the highway is the cars speeding at 70 MPH. Otherwise, the highway is open as a playground.

A bankrupt island nation of 22 million people just taught every great power on Earth a lesson in leverage. Sri Lanka’s President Dissanayake stood before cameras on 6 March and said: “We are neutral but also humanitarian. Sri Lanka is a free and non-aligned nation. We do not favour any country. We treat every human being equally, whether Iranian, American, or Israeli. We jealously guard our non-aligned policy while ensuring that humanitarian values and the saving of lives remain our top priority.” Then he granted free one-month humanitarian visas to all 236 Iranian sailors, the 32 survivors pulled from the wreckage of the IRIS Dena and 204 crew evacuated from the disabled IRIS Bushehr. He described sheltering them as “the most courageous and humanitarian course of action a state can take.” The United States, which sank the Dena using USS Charlotte (SSN-766), a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine firing Mk 48 heavyweight torpedoes 19 to 44 nautical miles off Galle, is pressuring Colombo through a State Department cable to retain the sailors under conditions favourable to American intelligence access. Washington wants the 32 survivors who witnessed classified US submarine engagement tactics. China, which holds Hambantota port under a 99-year lease 90 kilometres from the sinking site, says nothing publicly. The debt speaks for itself. India, which hosted the Dena at its MILAN 2026 exercise weeks before the ship was sunk by India’s closest strategic partner, has not uttered a single word about any of it. Iran is broadcasting the rescue footage across every state media channel. Eighty-seven dead sailors and a neutral nation that refused American demands. And Sri Lanka, sovereign-defaulted in 2022, currently under IMF conditionality, owing billions to Beijing through Belt and Road, dependent on Indian goodwill for regional security, and sitting at the intersection of every great-power pressure line in the Indian Ocean, chose international law. UNCLOS Article 98 required the rescue. Geneva Convention II Article 17 required the internment. Hague Convention XIII prohibited allowing the sailors to re-enter combat. Sri Lanka followed every obligation to the letter. Uruguay did the same during the Falklands. Switzerland did the same throughout World War II. The law is unambiguous. The politics are not. This is the same Sri Lanka that founded the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. That hosted the fifth NAM summit in 1976. That proposed the Indian Ocean as a Zone of Peace in 1971 and got the UN to adopt it. And that is now pursuing BRICS partner status under India’s 2026 chairmanship, with Prime Minister Amarasuriya calling membership “strategically appealing” on 6 March, the same week her government was sheltering Iranian sailors against American objections. Every major power assumed Sri Lanka would fold. Washington assumed economic leverage would force compliance. Beijing assumed debt would ensure silence. Delhi assumed proximity would guarantee deference. Tehran assumed sympathy would guarantee solidarity. Instead, Colombo followed the law, issued the visas, sheltered the sailors, and told every great power exactly the same thing: we are neutral, we are humanitarian, and we do not take sides. The weakest economy in the Indian Ocean just demonstrated the strongest foreign policy. Full analysis for paid subscribers. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

I walked in… Ordered one thing. BLACK COFFEE. No table. No server. No refills. No experience. Just a pour into a cup. I stand there waiting… they hand me the receipt to sign… …and I almost thought it was a joke. “Suggested gratuity” STARTS at 50%. FIFTY. Percent. For pouring coffee. And on top of that… a “card convenience fee” on a $4 drink. Let’s be honest about what’s happening… This isn’t tipping anymore. This is pressure disguised as gratitude. This is digital guilt built into the checkout screen. People aren’t becoming cheap… they’re becoming exhausted. Every screen you touch asks for more. Every purchase feels like a negotiation. Every simple transaction comes with emotional leverage. And then businesses wonder why people stop going out… Why foot traffic drops. Why customers choose home instead of cafés. Because when buying coffee starts feeling like a financial ambush… the experience stops being enjoyable. Tipping culture didn’t die because people stopped caring. It’s collapsing because it stopped making sense. 💀☕️ #SilentMajoritySpeaks #astonegroove

Important 🚨 Ladies and gentlemens, esteemed followers, and my dedicated subscribers, As many of you know, I've been diligently tracking the broadening pattern unfolding in the Nasdaq. While I've focused on the overall structure, I've paid less attention lately to the critical phase: the distribution process, where the pattern fully matures and the real distribution concludes. I've also attached a look at the Magnificent 7 below, where Wyckoff principles are playing out in near-textbook fashion. The Nasdaq now threatens that pivotal 22K level, which, as I've emphasised repeatedly, remains the bulls' final line of defence. I'll bookmark this post and provide ongoing updates as events unfold, so future generations of traders can reflect on the work of The Great One. By tuning out the endless noise and letting pure technicals guide the way, we've shown that market paths can indeed be anticipated with precision and foresight. My efforts here aren't in vain... they lay the groundwork for understanding that technical analysis, when respected, reveals truths others miss. Remain alert, stay a touch inquisitive, but above all, stay intensely vigilant. Yours truly, The Great Martis ✨ She's beautiful.

This is so delicious. I'm fully Carney-pilled. We're shaping a new world. Europe is the nexus of the free world, Canada is the second chamber of this beating heart. And the Americans are on the outside. Forever.

BREAKING: CBS refused to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas, after being intimidated by Trump’s FCC rules. Trump is worried that democrats are about to flip Texas. SHARE EVERYWHERE!!
