“I did not ‘fuck the babysitter.’ I had an affair with the au pair.”

@based16z China, for its flaws, rightly incentives top students not to pursue the careers you mentioned.

Stagflation is like, your cash is worth less, but also your investments go down. So everyone is just less prosperous. Which generally makes sense given the smartest minds are market making options or founding gambling apps

@bumbadum14 How hard is it to let people keep their earnings?

So my choices are: 1. Bomb Iran 2. Give bonuses to teachers, a profession entirely responsible for a dramatically rising illiteracy rate because they refuse to teach kids to read phonetically 3. Down payment assistance for mystery meat migrant “paperwork Americans” 4. Spend 200 billion on Medicaid which will be scammed be “rural hospitals” You’re making it hard to NOT CHOOSE bombing Iran at this point

@DanFriedman81 I know 3 people who have been hit by these bikers (all going the wrong way.) It's a disaster (they dont speak English, uninsured, etc.) -- this decision can only be understood as a means to protect illegals.

Zohran Mamdani has ended an Eric Adams policy of criminally charging people who drive mopeds on sidewalks and ride them the wrong way on one way streets. He is doing this to protect illegal immigrants, who come to this country from places where there are no traffic laws to work illegally as food delivery workers. These people recreate the conditions of their third-world homelands and injure or kill pedestrians. Trump should send ICE to NYC to round them up.

@KLF The average ACT is 22 -- I dont think many HPU grads are dining with foreign dignitaries.

Y'all are dunking on High Point University, but odds are most of you wouldn’t know what to do with yourselves if you wound up at dinner with a Fortune 10 CEO, elected official, or foreign dignitary. “Be yourself” only gets you so far.

@Howlingmutant0 Whenever an objectively ugly/mid brown woman gets effusive praise from the press for their supposed beauty, it reads like when women call an obviously obese person "hot" or whatever. As such, these people are often totally delusional about their prospects.

Never underestimate the sex appeal of a mischievous teenage white boy

@bumbadum14 If you want normal children, you’re much better off living in a 40% Rep suburb than the sticks

My parents live in a small-middle sized town 100 miles away from the nearest metro and it's like this. Vape shops, dyed hair, kids in high school have ears and tails. Being behind the cultural curve of Los Angeles isn't an adequet explanation.

A lot of people have tried to pin down why middle America has adopted this aesthetic, the easy and incorrect analysis has been that middle America is 10 years behind the curve of coastal city culture. This is so far this closest analysis that really lays out what is happening.

@JackMac I'm sure what the family needs at this time is Jack Mac's coverage and commentary

Missing Alabama student in Spain story is very sad. Hasn’t been seen since he left the club on Tuesday morning….foul play suspected. Here is everything we’ve been told as of late last night….

@Citrini7 Sometimes speed is the best alpha. Hedge funds don’t have this luxury.

So much of this game is just trying your best not to learn the same lesson over and over again. The most recent re-learned lesson for me… common sense is nearly always a better foundation for a trade than expert wisdom if you think there’s a large inflection or regime shift underway. A little more than a week ago, I called up a friend of mine that understands energy far better than I do and said something like “seems like the no brainer play here is to be long Brent and short WTI”. This seemed like common sense, after all it’s not like there’s a war in the continental US and if the government was willing to sell futures they’d probably be open to using regulation to increase domestic supply. Right? But I had it explained to me a laundry list of reasons why that wouldn’t work. That was when the K6 spread was at about $6. A week later, the spread is almost $12 and I didn’t put it on because I figured my tourist understanding of oil meant it wouldn’t work. This is nothing against the wisdom of experts, but in markets - sometimes - it pays to be an idiot tourist basing your views on a common sense thesis. Especially at inflection points…Like the blind men and the elephants, it’s possible to be too close up to something and miss the very straightforward big picture. It was true with natural gas and ags in early 2022, it was true with semis in 2023…it’ll probably keep being true whenever there’s a big phase shift happening.

@bizlet7 Absent any progress on the deficit, DOGE was a success if we stopped directing taxpayer money to DEI and other activist causes.

The lawyer’s gay voice annoys me.

@Mo3Muse It's way more entertaining than the efficiency slop you guys watch on a daily basis.

man 2000s to early 2010s game tape is almost triggering cause what are they doing out there😭straight horrific shots

@tractor_owner Even the “causes” boomers support are often scammy in nature

The thing about boomers and their wealth is that while you may not get to inherit it there are a million Indian scam farms going at them on a daily basis from all directions and all it takes is one slip dealing with some new technology for it to all disappear. If that doesn't get it the medical industrial complex will.

@mattyglesias Top signal

The level of market complacency has reached the point where I think I may have to actually figure out how to buy oil futures.

they were right to take cigarette ads off tv, I would’ve smoked a pack a day if I saw this when I was 14

@MyUnveiledTruth @UsingLyft Sadly less relevant nowadays.

“We can, as Americans” -Pradheep. No thank you. Please mind your business.

@jwtlxCFC @expatanon Rude. And for no reason

@loadmanagement4 @expatanon no they’re not retard

My president told me Somalis keep raping his citizens so I asked how many Somalis he has and he said he just goes to Somalia and gives them $25k a year to come so I said it sounds like he's just paying Somalis to rape citizens and then I was arrested for inciting hatred.

@expatanon How do I know this? I literally asked in every city I went to.

@expatanon In nearly every major European hub, the drug dealers are all Palestinian refugees.

@PalmyrPar @RedGuitautist They couldn’t even fit @Howlingmutant0 on the chart

Fellas, I’m not too sure it’s a good sign when the correlation between the rape rate and the “we give them free money” rate is not only positive, but exponential.
