A lot of people I know are going the “actually I’m getting rid of all social media” route and that’s fine I love that for them but here’s the thing about me: if i stop posting i will die

Remembering the old @groditi.bsky.social threads on ideal snack combinations for analysts.

I think if I stare hard enough at the wiggles on this chart I will figure out the world economy, my skull will open up, and the light of pure knowledge will come spilling out to bathe all in its beneficence. But I also have a 2pm

My most gen x opinion is that Nirvana Unplugged is probably the best album of the 90s.

eternal september appropriately ends in october

There was a wetlands restoration group that wanted to pay a salt pond operator in the SF Bay to cease operations. Unfortunately, they weren't able to raise money for the brokers fees. This is why, at the store, you'll occasionally see Coase Sea Salt.

oh it's time to post the Tetris story again. (short version: reporter goes to cover early e-sports, discovers that his wife is, unknowingly, the greatest Tetris player in the world) archive.boston.com/news/globe/m...

In the "still love it but some of the core takeaways of the genre are pretty shit" category, has anything disproved the cyberpunk thesis that corps are/will be so powerful they will overtake the state than <waves hands>

For example this (very good) blog post by @mtkonczal.bsky.social mikekonczal.substack.com/p/mirans-cas...

People do not understand that BTAS wasn't just a Saturday Morning cartoon, it basically *invented* Batman's rogue's gallery as it's known today.

Well don't I feel stupid

Waiting for Godot: The Hunt for Godot is the recently announced newest installment of the Godotverse. The long awaited sidequel follows Godot's adventures during the events of the original play.

The lines for the bar at the Big Thief show are non existent compared to the lines at the Pixies show. Gen Z just built different, I guess.

Putting the finishing touches on my anthropological study of the “Bluesky Guy” (38-47 years old, standard level woke and making SURE you know it, significantly less emotionally regulated than he thinks, every thread an opportunity for a personal story) which will be seminal but earn me death threats

“You’ve got sadness in you, I’ve got sadness in me – and my works of art are places where the two sadnesses can meet, and therefore both of us need to feel less sad.” HBD, Mark Rothko ...

Another day recommending my boss read Alain Robbe-Grillet's The Voyeur (1955). I will not be at the allegations.

The only thing I love more than Bad News is Good News days in the market is Good News is Bad News days. Wonderful business if you can handle deep absurdity.

Wife had to wave me off explaining the √2 to the 10 year old today but they know what an exponent was so we got it in over yogurt.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

This is more a bond accounting question because it's mainly an issue of clean versus dirty pricing.

The PMRC was 40 years ago.

I will believe that Newsom is serious about fucking up Rs when they crack CA12 into spaghetti strands to Make Jefferson Blue

This is basically the thing. For a brief period, still mostly happening, twtr drove policy because chatter went into the decision maker group chats (or the GCs of their online younger subordinates/analysts). The change was it was visible (versus cocktail parties on the balcony at New Republic).

Workshopping a Matmos/Stephen Miran pun for the three people into both monetary policy and indie radio electronic darlings of the early 00s.

dudes rock

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

I have so far seen no change in my TikTok algorithm but I've always enjoyed content about enterprise software products, including enterprise resource planning, human capital management, customer relationship management, enterprise performance management, and supply chain management

What do you mean there isn't assigned seating at the Death Cab for Cutie reunion show? I have to stand? for three hours?

I wrote about the most frightening and dangerous trend in Britain www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

this is something I do get frustrated with in Left circles: the tendency to see men with guns in the employ of the state as this undifferentiated mass: it's actually pretty consequential what exactly their organizational culture and norms are, and how they perceive themselves.

I just Googled Breezewood PA for the hell of it, and that Taco Bell is now called Sultan Kabob Restaurant Breakfast Shop. If that's not a perfect encapsulation of the promise of this country, I don't know what is. maps.app.goo.gl/bLTm5s4yJ4Y7...

You know the reporter assigned the story "OnlyFans Dominatrix Surprised by Trump Tax Cut Could Be Left Out" was just giddy with how many clicks it was going to get.

this is just to say // have you considered buying more plums // to replace the ones recently taken from your icebox. just <price> at <local store>! so sweet and so cold.

Opening Claude incognito mode when I want it to describe for me the face of God.

Half of the economic commentary unread has very intelligent perspectives on how the system is becoming more brittle and positioning is such that if things go wrong the pain will be incredibly bad. Investment Recommendation: buy the S&P

Every time someone abbreviates Sovereign Wealth Fund I see this instead
