All-Time Highs (S&P 500) versus All-Time Lows (Consumer Sentiment) "How much do you think the sentiment of the bottom 90% of the population, by net worth – they own just 13% of stocks – matters to the stock market? Not very much." buff.ly/ZsKXKl9 by @Ritholtz

Violinist Dr Jessica Yap: “I funded myself to India to perform some surgeries,” she said. By ‘some’, she meant 56 surgeries in two weeks. “You literally pay to do each individual surgery. It was a very eye-opening experience.” jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lifest…

If you’re interested in Jamaican history, a site called Jamaicahotelhistory.com is an absolutely fascinating read. The tab on the Sunset Lodge Hotel in Montego Bay was perhaps my favourite read. Warning tho. You’ll go down a history rabbit hole of epic proportions.

The state will NEVER be able to maintain roads. In 2021 NWA required $203 billion yearly to maintain roads to their current standard (1/5 of the national budget), they got only 1% of that. SPARK is only 40 billion over multiple years. Car dependency is impossible to sustain

In 1991, Patrick Stewart danced and sang on the USS Enterprise-D bridge as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. The clip wasn’t meant to be public but later appeared as a DVD bonus feature.

Someone is wondering why City, not Arsenal are top when they both have the same number of points. The Premier League uses five tiebreakers to separate clubs that finish level on points. Most fans know the first one. Almost nobody knows the last three. And right now, with five games left in the 2025-26 season, every single one of them matters. According to Section C of the Premier League Handbook 2025-26, under the heading Determination of League Table Placings, when two or more clubs finish level on points the following criteria are applied in this exact order. First, goal difference across all 38 league games. Second, total goals scored across the season. Third, head-to-head points between the tied clubs specifically. Fourth, away goals scored in those head-to-head matches. Fifth, and only if all four criteria above have failed to separate the clubs and the position is material to the title, European qualification or relegation, a one-off playoff at a neutral ground determined by the Premier League Board. City and Arsenal currently lead the Premier League with 70 points. Both clubs have won 70 points with five games remaining and the title would be decided entirely by earlier mentioned tiebreakers. The title has been decided by goal difference exactly once in Premier League history. In 2011-12, Manchester City and Manchester United both finished on 89 points. City had +64. United were on +56. Aguero's 94th-minute winner against QPR is the reason most people know that rule exists. This season, the margin is one goal. Every match between now and 24 May counts.

Make no mistake, what we are experiencing is a direct consequence of the road widenings from the Legacy Road Projects. The state destroyed pedestrian scale activity and created a hostile environment for walking. They invested in congestion and car-dependency.

BREAKING: Republican appointed Virginia Judge Jack Hurley has struck down Virginia's successful redistricting amendment, ruling it void ab initio, i.e. void from the start, and therefore unconstitutional. Virginia AG Jay Jones is appealing, and while it should be overturned on appeal given this was the will of voters, keep in mind nothing is a sure bet in these odd times. We'll know more soon but as of now, the new maps are banned.

@AbrahamKpoto @BrayForJade Thank you for clarifying.

@damanimichael @BrayForJade He ran to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to beg for help and left his people. Fake history

The more I read about this man, the more I’m confused about why people worship him, much less a whole movement or what about him spoke to liberating black people. I feel like there’s a big part of his story I’m missing but idk where to get it.
