“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4!!!”

If you’ve never seen The Death of Stalin, you need to do that ASAP. Don’t wait until after Orange Caligula kicks the bucket because you won’t enjoy either event nearly as much.

How I take criticism

Too lazy to dig it out, but someone asked "Desert Island" film question, but you just pick one supporting actor and get all their movies Days later, I'm thinking Dianne Wiest

Watching CNBC market close coverage and no one mentions oil or the Strait or the war or the negotiations This is just a very bizarre moment

We’re in a very weird moment. Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for three months, the world is running out of reserves, crops aren’t being planted, there’s no end in sight and everyone’s kinda acting like everything’s fine, or will work out soon.

All's Well That Bakes Well!

There’s a Korean 3x ETF and it’s down uhh 34% today:

Massive damage has been done to many ME energy producing and refining facilities by Iranian strikes FFS, Qatar invoked force majeure on inability to fulfill LNG contracts weeks ago! Read @roryjohnston.bsky.social

A lot of folks hold the Vanguard Total Market Index (VTI). That's based on a CRSP index. Here is how much of each IPO could potentially be in that fund. SpaceX will be only 0.12%.

Here in Minnesota, it's "It could happen today" in the morning, and "Fuck ICE!" for both a general greeting to those you meet and as benediction to one another at close of day

Nervous about this new-to-me dough currently on its first rise, although the enormous amount of butter DID eventually disperse during kneading 😟 sallysbakingaddiction.com/whole-wheat-...

love that we’ve invented joyless astrology

We're getting to see - Who would eagerly join fascists AND - Who would fall for MULTIPLE blatant tulip-mania-level bubbles at the same time!

To be perfectly clear, this will appear as an anecdote in a book about the stock market bubble of 2026 and students will tick off another "indicators of a bubble" box and wonder how anyone could have failed to see the unsustainable vortex of greed and deception. www.barrons.com/articles/buy...

I also did a panoramic shot! Surprised it turned out okay.

get in folks we're taking our family annihilation rates - to the moon

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

No special treatment for Space X in the S&P 500! Just announced. Wow. That profitability requirement means it might never get in.

I'm pretty sure the head of ExxonMobil is trying to tell us we are in seriously deep shit, oil-supplies wise. finance.yahoo.com/sectors/ener... #EconSky

He also says the amount of super refined jet fuel is finite and we (shippers) are using more than usual because we can't fly or sail over the ME, worsening drawdowns

One more uncontrollable adversary / ally has entered the chat:

Nine Days After Rubio Says a Couple Days www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I wish US markets would react and that would push Trump to cut a deal but were reactive not proactive so... guess it'll be higher prices later, more inflation and big trouble for countries that can't pay.. but we have a tall reflecting pool!

Chat, is this bad

SINK CRAIG ON THIS HORROR

Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis here: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here⁣

Hope this backfires on Craig EPICLY

Subtext: "The president's reluctance suggests the Strait may be closed for weeks - or even months..." 🛢️📈💥

Reporter to Trump: "How do you define ceasefire?" Trump: “In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner”

I guess we're really never getting the strait opened.

Cool, cool, because speculation never goes awry....

AWWWWOOOOOOO!

Post an album you have listened to 100 times if you'd like

Remember T1 era analysts saying Trump basically lives in the moment and is unable to absorb anything technical from daily intel briefings...

i even wrote a list for you. bsky.app/profile/sky....

There is no 'opening the strait.' The strait was open. Iran was tolling vessels. They were letting whatever ships they were comfortable with pass by, and Americans and frankly the rest of the world needs to get it through their heads that this was as open as the strait was ever going to be, again

*chuckles* Holy shit we are so fucked

So this is rather frightening from an economics perspective when you take some larger trends into account. 🧵 1/x #EconSky #EnergySky #ClimateSky

All press reporting on the Iran war operates as follows: Day 1: oil prices drop as Axios reports Trump says a magic faun has arrived to negotiate a deal where Iran surrenders Day 2: for reasons none can explain, there is no faun.

And markets will continue to join Trump in those fantasies today...

Rehabilitated my Febreeze Small Spaces and that's probably going to be as good as 2026 gets

Many people don't know tomb ends with a b.

Iran's aim is to inflict enough pain on the United States so that this never happens again.

Ed says it more thoroughly, but I keep wondering why we haven't seen ONE previously-human-performed job (other than something mechanistic like translation) now done competently and with no supervision by AI? (And it does a terrible job on translations)
