@WRGuinn One of the most stunning historical facts is that Magellan was killed halfway into that journey and never actually made it around the world (not even close).

Super Sky Point to Dave Parker. Anyone who’s followed me for a while knows how I feel about the man. His throws in the 1979 All-Star Game burned an impression into my 7-year-old brain that’s endured for nearly a half-century now. He was the first player I ever saw wear an earring, a pillbox hat-wearing, swashbuckling urban badass who wielded heavy lumber like a toothpick and made big league pitchers weak in the knees. And that arm? It was a nuclear missile launcher. I’m sad he won’t be there physically to be enshrined in Cooperstown in less than a month. But I’m happy he passed secure at last in the knowledge he will forever reside among baseball’s immortals. Have your lighter handy, St. Peter, because smoking one with the Cobra will be a privilege. #RIP

@david_perell Have you published a reading list of your favorite books? I’d love to see that, if available somewhere

"The simplest reason to not read something published in the past 50 years is that's what everybody else is reading. The only books that most people read are books published in the last two years. And it's a simple fact of life that if you read what everybody else is reading, then the likelihood that you will write what they are writing and worst of all think what they are thinking is, let's say... increased." (From my interview with @culturaltutor)

@Ike_Saul Border crossings only lower because they felt the heat of election consequences. Inflation gone? It’s still well over the 2% Fed target. Interest rate cuts? Yes, the Fed has lowered…and bond yields and mortgage rates are HIGHER due to fears of future inflation as a result.

Hypothesis: If everything that happened in 2024 happened in 2023, Biden/Harris get re-elected. - Border crossing lower now than 2020 - Inflation basically gone - Interest rates being cut - Trump back in spotlight - Gaza, Ukraine at least *feel* like end is near Thoughts?

Joseph Daniel Votto, JDV, Vottomatic, JoVo, Still Bangs, Tokki 2, Joey Moppo, Employee No. 19. The list goes on and on, but one thing is certain… the name Joey Votto will forever be etched in the history of this franchise

@data_analystguy @EpsilonTheory I’m 49, and same!

This is Biden’s Walter Cronkite Moment.

The summary of this is the simple coda borrowed from ET: 1. Clear eyes ( to see your reality clearly) 2. Full hearts ( focusing your devotion and care on your friends and family and the things that matter to you) 3. Chin towards God (as the ultimate source of transcendent values and principles.)

Always a class act. Thank YOU, Joey Votto!

@PauloMacro I just want to say that I follow a host of fintwit accounts. You are consistently the most thoughtful and insightful. Much appreciated!

@mvxpress_07 I’m just glad that Coach Harvey had the good sense to counter Coach Dana’s nonsense!

Had a blast at our annual Halloween practice! 👻 🎃

@biancoresearch Note also that the US rig count peaked many months ago (I believe Nov ‘22). US production is set to decline soon.

1/11 If it is not already the case, crude oil and gasoline prices are about to take center stage. Prices are staged to keep going up even though they have rallied a lot already. 🧵

@DoombergT @DamnYeahCrypto I see no link, nor did I get an email about it.
