@MarcielMichael @Knightly_Hist Humphrey's horse was killed by Aerion, Beesbury is Humphrey's BIL, Lyonel voiced his reasons pretty clearly.

@Knightly_Hist This kind of bothered me. I don’t think it’s very realistic that 6 people would put their lives at extreme risk for someone they just met. Takes me out of the story a bit.

Not enough people are talking about Raymun Fossoway He met a dude on a weekend, realised he was chill, kept him fed and stood on business in a life or death situation against his own kin because it was the right thing to do. He's my MVP this season.

It'a amazing to watch mainstream western media outlets completely and brazenly distort what Mark Carney said. They're pretending he was just attacking Trump: as if Carney was claiming we had a nice "rules-based international order" until Trump came along. No. Carney said that this "rules-based international order" has long been a fraud that western nations pretended was true because it was in their interests to maintain this lie. But establishment outlets like the NYT, CBC, The Atlantic, The Economist, etc. etc. can't grapple with or even acknowledge Carney's confession, because those outlets have been central to embracing and ratifying and spreading this precise fiction.

The best and most surprising part of Carney's speech is that he didn't pretend there was a "rules-based international order" until Trump came and ended it. He admitted the claim was always a fraud, but that the EU, UK and Canada affirmed the lie because it benefited them.

@Citrini7 Super cool post

Little financial history rip for the new year… There’s a certain irony that the United States owes its financial foundation to a man who convinced Congress that more debt was actually the answer. When Hamilton was appointed as the first Secretary of the Treasury, one of his first jobs was to issue a “public report on credit”. This was because the U.S. didn’t have any credit. They had paid the soldiers in IOUs that were trading at 15-20 cents on the dollar, they’d borrowed a ton from foreign governments. We were, essentially, bankrupt from the beginning. Our continental currency was so worthless that the phrase “not worth a continental” stayed in the popular lexicon for decades. Soldiers had mostly long since sold what they viewed as unlikely to be paid notes for their salary to speculators. Out of either desperation (if you asked James Madison) or disloyalty and doubt (if you asked Alexander Hamilton). The first debate was over how to deal with this. Hamilton proposed paying out full value on all notes (great for the speculators that had purchased them at a 85% discount), Madison proposed discriminating (speculators got what they paid, original holders got par). Hamilton was taking the “credit markets don’t care about your feelings” approach - the only thing he was focused on was making the US look creditworthy enough to borrow with minimum uncertainty premium. Thus, they couldn’t deal with discretionary default risk. To accomplish this, they also absorbed the entirety of state debt assumed during the way (to centralize bond holders as creditors of the U.S. rather than states, with loyalties that followed) and dedicated about 5% of federal revenues to a sinking fund that would buy back U.S. debt trading below par until it was extinguished. Madison and Hamilton mostly agreed on this, with Madison’s largest fear being that government debt securities would overwhelmingly fall into foreign hands. The biggest challenge to adopting these measures was basically congressional insider trading. Before the report was public, Hamilton’s assistant treasury secretary, William Duer, had been buying up discounted certificates. So had numerous congressmen. When the report was made public and the notes went from 20 cents to near par, the optics were basically what you’d expect. (Duer later caused America’s first credit crisis, the Panic of 1792, after trying to drive up the prices of U.S. debt securities and bank stocks on margin, defaulting on the loans and causing a bank run. ) By 1790, assumption was dead in the House. Jefferson hosted what is probably the most famous dinner party in American political history and convinced Virginia to vote in favor. This is why the capital of the U.S. is on the Potomac rather than New York. (A very similar playbook was used when convincing Germany to abandon the strongest currency in Europe in favor of the Euro by offering that the ECB would be located in Frankfurt and adopt German-style inflation-targeting orthodoxy). Hamilton essentially invented the concept of a “risk-free rate” before anyone had the vocabulary for it. In 1789, US 6% bonds traded at 15-20 cents on the dollar, by 1794 they traded at 110. But Madison wasn’t wrong about the moral hazard and Hamilton wasn’t wrong about market mechanics and we’ve basically been having that debate for 250 years.

I think this guy may have finally made a crypto tax product that works for people that are actually onchain goodbye Koinly may your ptsd not follow me

We used to be a society

@BrianXBT @coincarver Yeah this checks out. I got top 3% with around 70 points, before leaderboard was removed I was ~20k

@coincarver I think because they used the total users metric which is 770k which is highly implausible amount since prolly 80% accounts has < 0.1 points

121 Lighter points put you in the top 2% of all accounts. $LIT sell pressure is supposedly coming from less than 1000 accounts? I know many of them and I can tell you they are not selling a single penny including me. 2026 will be the year of $LIT & $HYPE.

1/ On How Short Life Is A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful. Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?" It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

Just sketched a logo for my sperm donorship program. Is ‘pd’ in a circle minimalist enough?

🚨 WOW. Brown University student Alex Shieh previously EVISCERATED the school's administrators for having a $46 million deficit, despite surging costs for students. They pay $90K+ PER YEAR. Alex Shieh: "What about the kids who weren't born on third base?! [...] Brown is on track to run a $46 million DEFICIT this year. WHERE is all the money going?" "I'll tell you where it's going. It's going into an empire of administrative bloat and bureaucracy! Brown employs 3,805 full time non-instructional staff for just 7,229 undergrads. That's one administrator for every two students." "This isn't education. This is bloat paid for on the backs of students and families who are mortgaging their futures for a shot at a better life!" HE'S SPOT-ON.

I’ve traveled to a lot of countries over the years. Spending a month in the US was probably my worst experience. > Flying is a nightmare: old infrastructure, chaos at security & immigration, trash business class (they don't know what first class is) > Luxury hotels are outdated with mid service. Branded luxury in Europe, Turkey, the Middle East or Asia completely destroys them > Food is average at best but somehow $100+ per person > Everyone is trying to interact with you with small superficial useless talks.
