By pure happenstance I ended up on The Dandy Wharhols side of the beef but maybe I should have been a Brian Jonestown Massacre fan instead

A second trader joes knock off takis has hit the snack aisle

Basically the whole estatuary was miles of marshland that were progressively embanked, the tide only started actually making it up to London like a hundred years ago. The river is like 10% of its original width now

MFW I check the oil market open while doing the grocery run

Is it still RTFM if you copy and paste the pdf of the manual into Claude?

this chart lives free in my brain

Some of the Minor League promo team names are ok but sometimes they nail it. The Fargo Woodchippers.

They commodified oil!

Drinking coffee, eating waffles, reading about a man consumed and subsequently destroyed by their passions, opening up the possibilities of horror and joy, smiling, closing the lid, and getting the kids to baseball. Perfect Saturday.

I love it when a post is "man I can't believe discourse on x" and then four replies late two people are in their mentions having an insane discourse on x.

Buying dips sinks ships.

On a long enough timeline, every post will become a crab.

Either second breakfast or 10:30 lunch needs to become socially acceptable. I'm dying here.

The only other main impact AI has had on my life is making the dumb advertisements in the dumb mobile games I stress play more hilarious: "Big booty wife doesn't believe you when you go from lardo to giga chad in 4 weeks with tai-chi." It should be in a museum.

Cats must fight great battles of the mind to prevent malevolent spirits from entering the home that is why they’re so sleepy all the time

I know I'm just posting obvious shit over and over again, but: Interesting to see how quickly belief in the Big Lie shoots up among racially resentful Trump supporters post-2020 election. It takes some time for less-resentful T supporters to get brought along

OTOH, visiting state parks is good OTOH, non native species are bad OTOH, removing vegetation from state parks is bad OTOH, making influencers sad is good I'm very torn here, y'all. www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Sorry this took me so long. I've had a week.

Not sure why but one of the finest Twitter bits popped into my head tonight while walking the dog and I've been chuckling about it again for the last 10 minutes

If Los Angeles did not exist, it would be necessary for us to create it from the raw stuff of our dreams.

When you turn 45, sober up, stop eating as much red meat half for diet and half for price, that's what economists call a hedonistic adjustment.

OSINT this, OSINT that, why don't you open source some intelligence into getting a girlfriend, eh?

Imagine explaining EA to someone who went to Oxford: "Ah yes altruism, the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others." "Usually, but the effective kind mostly consists of small doses lysergic acid diethylamide, orgies, and worrying about a computer god."

At some point I'm going to start suspecting that someone at the ft is utilizing Sankey charts just to juice engagement a bit

One kitten was shut into a cupboard for a few minutes and now she's running about beating the tar out of the other kitten

Hedge fund manager fails to quantify risk 😂

This is me just never putting 2 + 2 together but oh yeah all of the plains being put under plow in the 19th century would fuck with global commodity prices, eh?

Bluesky drafts, or as it is otherwise known, “the graveyard of posts I meant to cancel but the UX is designed to promote the unintended behavioral path to promote a new app feature”

The purpose of this website is to help unburden your brain by releasing horrible sentences that live in there like demons

Local post: do you think Adrian Tomine misses the hamburgers at The Smokehouse

The exact face I make every time I open my phone these days

It would be irresponsible to not utilize perfectly suitable pasture land. Harder to find cows with the requisite security clearances though.

I think the recentering of the Battle Hymn is a rhetorical trick about a current internal struggle, to place the current sacrifice required¹ in a longer legacy. I do not think it is literally asking for the horrors of war to be deployed in pursuit of liberty. ¹ posting extra hard

FWIW I still think the main problem for private credit markets (so far) is inadequate risk premia in recent vintages rather than widespread malinvestment - not least since software tended to price tight of the rest of the universe (sticky revenues; high margins etc).

Threw a moderately hard data gathering tasks at copilot and Claude and Claude did better than copilot but the vendor we already pay a lot of money to also had the data so maybe it's not over for financial services providers.

Asset Allocation to some extent is first arguing about what set of assets buy you the factor risk exposures of the global portfolio and secondarily about what factors that you can buy right now are cheap or expensive.

This dentist is playing Radiohead and Jeff Buckley and has new slat walls. As an asset owner, I applaud the future returns to limited partners.

The Víkingur Ólafsson Glassworks Opening reworked kiiiiiiiiiinda sounds like the Game of Thrones theme (though the causality is probably reversed) and now I hate my pedestrian ass tastes for recognizing that.
