I know I'm older now that I see an employee post a message with an emoji and my first thought is "hah, that's a new emoji"

Man I'm glad I don't live in Maine.

One day

This kinda stuff used to juice the oil markets, brent's still trading, but it is NOT moving like he used to be able to command

So FIFA is interested in squeezing every fucking dollar from the World Cup. Reusable water bottles were just banned in stadiums.

In my adult life this used to be a $5 Walmart rollback every summer

I may be a precog

Hey JPmorgan is labor day June 1?

When does axios announce another deal?

Slept horribly with that panic feeling that we're again in that part of big world history where students will one day ask their teacher... "Were they really all that naive?"

On purpose, or are we at the "meandering, lost, and commandeering a vehicle" stage of this all yet?

The good thing about Trump's 250th crash out pity party is hopefully it will be nowhere near Philly.

Theres also an irony the press is missing that Hegseth is all about "Department of War" and "This is War" and "Warfighters" yet they keep having to call strikes "Defensive" because they don't want to say the word War.

Wonder if we'll see any sort of mass trades made right before 9:30 when oil was 6% less than now... or even on futures. If the US can do it, why not Iran? Maybe they're learning how to play the financial game too.

This, of course, assumes Axios doesn't magically find another imminent deal under the couch cushion

If I had money, I'd bet oil over 100 by Thursday

" @axios.com reports a deal is imminent"

I know a lot of bsky is down on the World Cup and I get it, but I'm also excited for the spirit of international competition that it can bring,

Remember like 10 days ago when Hormuz was about to be really really super open? Good times

Wow, just wow.... pitching staff needs a stern talking to. Congrats Os....

Hoffman's going to be traded if he blows it

Vladdy's home

wow, those guys used to be down for anything

Better than his last one.... "Leo XIV, Servant of the Servants of God: ketchup upon the hot dog is forever condemned. Let it be anathema. Amen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Probably not an omen this happened after a light to moderate breeze on a sunny day, right?

Wooooo but I'm worried for my O's friends... You ok?

Good things can still happen! This is proof!

This is a pretty major pledge that puts Shapiro immediately on the defensive

The only amusing thing to me about the whole DHS/airport ploy, despite the fact it lasts maybe a day til a judge stops it, is that there is a dumb pro-Trump merch store in many of these airports that would absolutely close with the sudden lack of foot traffic.

The theory of rising expectations is the most dangerous, in my opinion....

"Surely he can't fuck up the economy that bad... Someone will step in to stop .."

It's coming up on one week since the markets assumed a deal was coming.... And we're bombing again

Feels like the war is about to get hot again.

Nathan was right about anything.

Maybe its the cynic in me but I read the "agreement" Trump announcement as a feint and they're about to resume bombing over some technicality they don't like, just needed a stronger casus belli.

I just watched bad reporting (IRNA confused for ILNA, Al Arabiya sourcing from yesterday....) cause a 5% drop in Brent price.... The markets are desperate for this all to be over and ignorant to the fact that it isn't... Covid, but with war

Isn't it close to that time of the month when he disappears for a couple of days for dentistry?

Hey @shoe.bsky.social , could this be bad?

Happy Taco Tuesday to all who celebrate, let's see what market manipulation happens today

A Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice has left the Democratic Party to become unaffiliated, citing concerns over antisemitism.

Hey #EMSSky / #MedSky So a while back I started a project called Extra Hands CPR Assistant, to try to solve the problem of the myriad of conflicting metronome apps that weren't flexible enough to adapt to a wide variety of modes, devices, and protocols. I have now gone overboard.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday it's like "Trump says Iran sent him flowers" and the markets all react like he just threw gold in their faces, Then by Friday Iran's like "WTF you bought that?" and we're back to waiting in the breadlines.

I know the shorting of stocks was a part of it too, but my gut tells me this was a big motivation for the flurry of "everything is magically better today" posts from the GOP. $5/gallon is creeping toward reality and thats big red danger.

Maybe it's just vibes, but I feel like Axios is often the one doing the "Short/Break" cycle posts all the time (them or CBS) and maybe Woke Nuremberg needs to include investigating that whole org...

I'm kinda glad so many people trying to "time" the Brent drops with Trump pronouncements may get screwed by reality. He's literally done this four weeks in a row for something ending in 2 weeks...

Only #MayThe4th image running through my head right now.

The world is a hellscape right now but baseball and the right drink helps

Heartwarming Hugs recalled, only cold loneliness is safe.

This is the second post from the right complaining of insurance, and it actually makes me nervous- if Trump is the one who pronounces some form of universal healthcare (Trumpcare), it could be disaster for outcomes and the left overall. Unlikely sure, but not outside the possibility.
