Job hunting used to be so easy.

Oh look, responsible asset/liability management occurring in real time. www.ft.com/content/9a1b...

Are they still sending ground troops?

Hi, I’m the constructive conversations witch.

Some of you voted for this.

Why though?

It's only force majeure if it comes from the Majeure region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling shitshow.

It would be ironic if software is the safety play this year (no supply chain disruption to speak of)

Things are about to get very expensive and we still don’t appear to have reached this point.

The @jayrayner1.bsky.social review today is a classic for a lot of reasons but this snippet was my favourite.

It is the time of year where I remember that gardening is just assuming a load of stress positions while a lab cross tries to “help”.

I am not sure that I would illustrate my piece about stable portfolios in turbulent markets with a photo of a burning city.

What would possess you to call your fund the Hades fund?

Coercing the US to end this

Curiously, I believe BofA “retracted” this trade idea last night…

Girl from Ipanema going into Something Stupid.

The Afroman case is so emblematic of the farcical degeneracy of the criminal and civil justice systems.

You: <looking at software credit waiting for it to default> Chemicals credits: <quietly melting down in the background>

Which exact women does he mean? Personal assistants, writers, marketing roles I assume.

I am not an equity person and I do not understand why equities are so chill right now.

I hope Matt Berry has gone full Laszlo Cravensworth for the Oscars.

Maybe this is a you problem.

Yeah, it’s a good job we <checks notes> found replacements for all of those oil-based input.. er.. costs in four years? Right? Right?

Amazing that the tone here is entirely that of a victim. Remarkable.

Watched the Louis Theroux manosphere documentary last night. Fascinating to me how frightened a couple of the influencers were of 1) their mothers 2) their girlfriends 3) other men interacting with their girlfriends. Doesn’t scream confidence.

These articles very nearly get to the answer but stop short. Private credit is not mortgages in 2008. Underlying credit quality for most is ok for now, and even if you write off 50% of the software loans with zero recovery that’s a ~10% hit spread over a handful of years. /1

Terrible graphics, WSJ.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo “History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

YES I CAN HEAR YOU CLEM FANDANGO

"I can sort you out ten grams for a monkey" <looks in wallet> "I haven't got any monkeys"

“My drug dealer will laugh at banknotes with squirrels on”

JFC if the badgers on the banknotes bother you you 1) need to tap to pay more 2) need a life with some actual meaning.

Holy moly are Spurs just lying down on the pitch?

Do Israel and Iran agree that the excursion is now over?

In the same way that I might consider dating Sabrina Carpenter, a nice concept but not really practical, plausible or likely and almost certainly ending with songs condemning it.

Watching Crufts because the dog wants to.

With #InternationalWomensDay coming up, please be aware the UN theme is Rights Justice Action (not Give to Gain). UN: www.un.org/en/observanc... This Guardian article explains the issue: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d... Do share this information. Thank you. #IWD2026 #RightsJusticeAction

Are we nearly there yet?

New followers turning up for credit content and instead you get one of the world’s best bowlers ever. Ever.

when your nickname is Whispering Death and your opponents gave it to you, well that kinda says enough

It doesn’t have to sell its loans in the open market. You’ll find out about the problems in the old fashioned way. Slowly, as they can’t refinance.

At some point the FT will stop mischaracterising the Blue Owl liquidity situation. Today is not that day.

-throws a firecracker into a bear den- "You have to help there are inexplicably lots of angry bears rampaging around!"

Charging for hospital parking for visitors to long term residents is the most nefarious thing. Gratifyingly the parking machines at FOHFDad’s hospital rarely work and the hospital seems to take zero interest in enforcing charges… 🤷‍♀️

Still delighted that I managed to identify Fun Boy Three as the backing track to an ad yesterday. Also sad that this ability to retain information can’t be put to better use.

okay, here it is, the five key takeaways from this by-election: 1. Denton Kebab House 2. The Crispy Cod, Denton 3. Reddish Tandoori, Gorton 4. Cottage Chippy, Gorton 5. The Continental Takeaway, Denton

This spoof is fantastic, not least for the aging choices they’ve made for the tech broligarchs. youtu.be/zdkBUuWCZg4?...
