@aaron_renn @jmandrewsv I guess I'll stop thinking admin after admin is incompetent in this area

Louisville is a bottom ten metro among those with one million people when it comes to college degree attainment. It’s also on the small side at 1.3M (Indy, Nashville, Cincy, and Columbus are all 2.1Mish - and even they are really too small). Not enough talent concentrations or inflows.

The trends in Louisville are really not good. Yum Brands appears to be in the middle of a slow-motion exodus. And the city's white collar job base is incredibly dependent on one company (Humana) with one product (Medicare Advantage).

@aaron_renn @jmandrewsv This is where I'm lacking information. I've been bothered for years by announcements of new distribution centers and such and haven't understood why we are so poor at encouraging corporate/higher level migration.

@jmandrewsv To be fair, Louisville has major structural challenges that gave it a pretty high degree of difficulty.

@_JB03_ @blondesnmoney How do you safeguard your accounts/personal information?

@blondesnmoney Couldn’t agree more.

@blondesnmoney I've seen the audition tapes

Both Trump and the Iranians have gotten where they are by being elite bad-faith negotiators, gotta be a mind trip for each to finally encounter a peer

@MarcWeinbergWX Right here

Best honest ... who has used both the A/C and heat since Sunday? I know who hasn't. 😂

@blondesnmoney As soon I read "in a world where", I read the rest in movie trailer guy voice.

@conorsen We've all grown up with negative political ads, but I' d greatly appreciate it if we kept the cursing out of it. I'm in KY and my kids see too many "Nate Morris full of sh*t" ads.

Surprised he’d do this before the Dem primary — both Duncan and Esteves would be stronger general election candidates, why work to take out Bottoms now?

@blondesnmoney I'm genuinely questioning if I should sell this bounce

The S&P is down 1.90% YTD. It should feel like nothing, but underneath the surface whipsaw and dispersion are raging. I've spent the past two weeks making a few adjustments. I've compiled and benchmarked my 48 active positions, here's what I've been buying and selling.

@forwitterfan @Variety JK Simmons is on the line

@Variety Kratos shouldn't be a live action character. Literally no actor is capable to perfectly show his rage

The creator of the “God of War” video games says the first-look image from Amazon Prime’s upcoming “God of War” show is “so bad in so many ways.” “Kratos in this pose with this expression, not the guy’s face, but this expression, he just looks stupid,” he explained. “If you’re going to reveal, to most people, a brand new character that you hope is going to carry your series, for the first time, and they’ve never really seen this before, and this is the way you introduce them?” “Maybe that’s conscious. Maybe they’re like, ‘Well, what we really want to focus on is the father-son story. And if we focus on him being like, Spartan rage, and all that, maybe people are like, 'I don’t want to watch that show.' Ok maybe. But then, at that point, could you find a picture that doesn’t look like he’s shitting in the woods? Cause that’s what the picture looks like.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/g…

@buccocapital When do we revisit the previous board's decision to fire Altman?

Strategic miscalculations from OpenAI starting to add up: 1. Taking on Google and Apple and Meta at the same time 2. Public crash out on prominent shareholder’s podcast 3. DoW contract

@blondesnmoney CUBI keeps dropping and I'll be picking up some more

Might start buying IBKR for the first time in a year if it gets below 68.

Cluseau Blackjack 21 falls to 10% YTD. Still 16 points above financials, 14 points above insurance, and 8 points above regional banks, but getting slapped today.

@blondesnmoney @chipflare Today was the top. I *just* decided to buy EWY today. I'm sorry for your loss.

@blondesnmoney Jesus fuckin Christ man

@buccocapital I bought it after that post. I've been enjoying it ever since!

@blondesnmoney I'm enjoying my Sphere stock

@MarcWeinbergWX I like how the coloring basically represents the color of my skin if exposed

Cambridge Bay, Canada has had some brutal wind chills over the last few days. Today they are checking in at -75F! B-R-U-T-A-L.

@blondesnmoney You know your job

What the hell is going on?

@Buckaroo1967 @nettermike @KimMSimpson I scrolled and I scrolled, trusting someone would mention that scene. It was my first thought.

@nettermike @KimMSimpson What I take from this is, Atreyu COULD have gotten Artax out after all.

In 1917, at Passchendaele, Captain Jack Seely’s horse, Warrior, stumbled into a shell crater and became trapped in mud and barbed wire. Under heavy fire, Jack refused to abandon him. For forty-five minutes, he cut wire, dug with his hands, and spoke gently to calm the panicked horse. Warrior, who had carried Jack through countless battles, trusted him completely—and Jack trusted him in return. Against all odds, they both survived. Warrior became one of only 62,000 horses to return home from the one million Britain sent to the war. He lived out his days in comfort and was buried at Jack Seely’s estate, near where Jack himself requested to be laid to rest. True bravery, Jack wrote, is not just survival—it is compassion for those who lay down their lives for us. From this Story Spielberg directed "War Horse," It was later made into a stage show.
