Just finished up a long day of deals and commodity trades. Going to eat this.

I don't like prolapses. your butthole should stay in your butt

I like how Ackman’s entire strategy now is just to find whichever Mag 7 name the market is currently bored with, buy it in the low 20s p/e, wait for the narrative to shift, exit in the high 30s, then rinse and repeat. I mean it works so why not

I have been quietly attending Soapland for years in the name of Japanese equity research, and last month it delivered one of the cleanest edges I’ve ever found on a cheap Japanese stock. I walked into a quiet spot in Yoshiwara for a standard ¥48,000 session. The therapist was sharp, the kind who’d spent the whole week scrubbing exhausted salarymen from a sleepy industrial supplier in Gifu Prefecture. Between the legendary bubble technique and the special rinse, she started venting about this one stubborn client — a 72-year-old president who still refused to retire. Domestic orders were softening, the company was sitting on a mountain of cash it barely deployed, but the old man wouldn’t budge on costs or succession. She named the exact supplier, the margin pressure they were feeling, and how the whole operation was running like it was still 1995. I listened, asked a few gentle follow-ups, walked out, ran the numbers that night. The company was trading at 4x earnings with a fortress balance sheet, net cash covering half the market cap, and almost no analyst coverage. I bought 0.9% of the obscure forklift-spring manufacturer whose name I still can’t pronounce. Six weeks later it rerated 38%. That’s the thing about corporate Japan. In public, everything is polite theater and hierarchical silence. But in those private rooms where ranks dissolve in soap suds and tired section chiefs finally drop their armor, the real unfiltered color leaks out — overtime realities, capex delays, succession drama, inventory builds. The kind of early signals that never make it into Nomura notes or IR decks. I’ve cross-checked enough of these bubble briefings against later earnings to know the edge is real. The math doesn’t lie, and neither do the bubbles. This is how you still find genuine information asymmetry in 2026: by going where the salarymen actually talk.

Attending a wedding in SF… Basically an AI meetup but in fancy clothes

Having kids is not an accomplishment Any boob can get someone pregnant. No one wants to hear about your kid’s unimpressive accomplishments. Different people enjoy different things, Joe. You see how the argument works against your preferences as well?

I've been gradually looking slightly less attractive over the last few years due to aging. I don't love this, and I think it's harder to handle due to spending so much of my life in an industry where appearances are vital. I have personally found that to be the biggest downside in sex work - I suspect I'd be way chiller with this if I'd spent my life working in idk walmart
