Never get tired of finding Scared Stiff in the wild. (Jupiter bar, Seattle).

"Antisemitism and autistic bigotry, all in one convenient package," he snarls in his best Londo Mollari impression.

I spent the AM reading the Pope's new encyclical. As an episcopalian buddhist, I don't agree with it all, but that's not the point. It's a brilliant argument for a more human, humane, loving and connected world. Don't toss it in an LLM, you'll miss so much nuance. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

With Hester Peirce leaving, we will have the least-functional market regulatory regime in my lifetime. New piece from me at Nadig.com ... it's institutional decay as policy: www.nadig.com/p/stealth-de...

This piece makes a good point that, even if the CFTC was inclined to be a real regulator it doesn’t have the bandwidth to add crypto and prediction markets to its responsibilities news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-l...

Never paying taxes again was a reward given to heroes who saved the world…. In Hollywood. youtu.be/oRTxx_LWUWs?...

This is nuts: Fred Again has uploaded a video of every single show he did during his USB002 tour (except Mexico City) — it’s four and a half days long. “im told this is the longest video on YouTube ever?” [youtube.com]

Here it is, over 4K words on what happened after the headline grabbing “$54 million in NFT sales” for Peter Molyneux’s game Legacy. Many players lost thousands chasing a “play to earn” hype train that evaporated almost immediately when the game launched. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

This Album makes me less sad that SOPHIE is no longer with us. Highly recommended hyperpop. open.spotify.com/album/1qSS0T...

first time really tuning into a war? welcome. Let’s go over some rules of how to behave. These are going to be especially important if it’s a war you oppose. 1. You are allowed an opinion. This is America. Whether you served or not. It’s done in your name so might as well speak up. 🧵

I beg of you: support your local paper. I mean come on….

Here's a fun table of all the ways we stopped regulating finance and investing. What could possibly go wrong?

Yes. This is a bad, BAD mistake. There is nobody that reducing transparency helps except bad actors. You want to reduce the barriers to going public, this is NOT the answer.

Found the good pinball machines at FutureProof Citywide in Miami last night. I’d be the easiest person to stalk ever.

OK, AARPapalooza is good. a little too good.

The annual BBH survey on the global ETF landscape is always stellar, and this years is no exception (with contributions from Deb Fuhr at ETFGI). Killer chart: Issuers are getting it: all that matters is trust and relationships. Success is about service now. www.bbh.com/us/en/insigh...

On the one hand, I guess it's cool we've got solid anti-drone lasers. On the other hand, we seem to be handing them to people who specialise in own-goals. How long before we blind some Cessna pilot? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Hey, I'm old, so I get that means I get to watch all my heroes die. Doesn't mean I have to like it. RIP Dan.

Cards against humanity continues their record for being the highest integrity company I've ever followed (profanity or not).

Saw my first ever "here's a naked woman, click on our ad" advertisement on a mainstream website, served by regular old google ads. As weird as the internet has gotten, that's genuinely the first S&P 500 company served boobies I can recall. There are no rules anymore.

Last year I got an embossed lunchbox, a puffy folder with a fairy tale stencil, a silver book of manifestos and so much more— all chock full of great writing. McSweeney’s continues to make and publish incredible stuff.

20 years on, The Adams' boys bedroom project (Dwarf Fortress) keeps delivering AMAZING stories. Still love this quote from them when they FINALLY launched on Steam: "We found a foolproof way of saving our money, which was to not sell anything for 20 years. "

Not a fan.

I'm just *(KermitFlail)* from the streamcross of @kyla.bsky.social talking to @hankgreen.bsky.social about markets/economics. This makes me so face-splittingly happy. If all the smart and curious and good people get to know each other, maybe we're all gonna be ok. youtu.be/jOR4wuiPeEQ?...

"With all due respect to President Nyarlathotep, we do not believe the Necro-Administration's contention that 'Phantom Warlocks Only We Can See' was reason enough to initiate multiple soul harvest taxes directed at small business owners."

I'm so glad we almost got 24 hours of stable trade policy! America is healing.

I mean, it makes as much sense as anything else these days...

Great post from @spencerjakab.bsky.social on why the "money on the sidelines" narrative is fundamentally broken. It sounds way less interesting to say: Cash is sitting at 12% of market valuation, up from 10% in 2018 but down from 60% in the GFC." www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

The customer paid more, the market got less efficient, and everyone lived happily ever after. 🤡

I'm not a games journalist. I'm a podcaster. The way I want to preserve these little pieces of gamers' memories is this show and I'm feeling so fulfilled by it right now. Folks seem to like it. If you haven't given it a shot, search for "Last Save Lounge" wherever you get your podcasts.

Hit so hard. Embrace joy! Embrace silliness as an act of resistance. Be weird. Be even weirder.
