@TownsUsa So sorry for your loss. He sure looks like a good dog.

My dog Alban died peacefully yesterday. He was an excellent dog.

@catwithaura Yup. That's exactly how it works.

Perfect example of how life with cats is 😂

@PeterMallouk Nice list! Historic highs on Buffet Indicator, Shiller CAPE Ratio,... It looks and smells like a bubble. Investors with 3 screens at their desk will be out early. Retail investors? A long dip through the valley as financial advisors recite their long hold mantra 🙄

By almost every metric, U.S. stocks are expensive. Chart from Charles Schwab.

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @TheAtlantic: theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

The mainstream media is now confirming we are being robbed at grocery stores and Walmart Product after product they take off the shelves and weigh is always short They test Walmart shrimp, bring it to the studio and every bag is half a pound short This has to be an intentionally large scale scam to defraud Americans at the grocery store One or two items is a mistake. Every item they pull off the shelves being underweight at specific locations is fraud And the amount products are underweight isn’t a small amount, it’s a huge amount We are being robbed blind

@actsmaniac IMO: Irrational exuberance Most key indicators (Shiller CAPE Ratio, Buffet Indicator, Tobin's Q, etc) are at historical highs. Those are the facts. To me it looks and smells like a bubble. A lot of smart people agree. But a lot of smart people disagree. Interpret as you wish.

why is the stock market going up so much its getting weird

@sciencegirl Points for the effort - but an "artificial mountain"? No. It's ugly as sin. And does not - in *any* way - offset the impact of urban blight. In fact - it cringingly draws attention to it.

There is a building in Shanghai, called the “Shanghai Rock Building.” It has a 50-metre artificial mountain built around it, completed around 2003 to improve Feng Shui and provide Mountain Views

@IamSunnita @Rainmaker1973 Thanks for sharing this additional clarification and fascinating insight.

@Rainmaker1973 The migration takes 4 generations to complete. The first three live just weeks. Then a fourth generation is born living 8 months instead of 3 weeks, travelling up to 4,500 miles. No butterfly makes the full journey twice. Yet somehow they always find their way back.

Fun fact. The Monarch butterfly migration is one of the longest-known, multi-generational insect migrations on our planet. Every fourth generation lives 8 times longer than the previous generations and travels 10 times farther.

@sciencegirl Love this. Because many of the most important things in Life are trivialities.

There is a coffee shop in Singapore that serves one of the most magical drinks you can imagine. At Sweet Little Rain, an ordinary Americano is transformed into something almost poetic. Instead of being served on its own, the cup arrives with a delicate cloud of cotton candy suspended above it. As the hot steam rises, the cloud slowly melts, dissolving into gentle drops that fall into the coffee below, like a tiny, sweet rainstorm. Bit by bit, the drink changes before your eyes, shifting from a bold, bitter brew into something softer and subtly sweet. It’s not just a coffee, it’s a moment, a performance, and a reminder that even the simplest things can be turned into something surprising.

Have you ever finished a book and immediately thought, “Yep, I need to read everything this author has ever written”?

@sciencegirl Beautiful architecture is what makes visiting the older parts of Europe and Asia so rewarding. (Unfortunately their modern architecture is also "Western Utilitarian")

There was a time… There was elegance and art in many things

@Southern_Inks @AuthorGFAllen @StephenKing I'm not a fan of all his work, but I - too - read IT when I was pretty young and it (punny?) blew my mind.

@AuthorGFAllen Stephen King. Read IT when I was 13, & then read everything else he had written. Still my go to comfort read @StephenKing

@AuthorGFAllen Ian Banks. His Culture books are fire.

The bar exam did its job. Three cheers for the bar exam.
