Timely discussion about the US tax loss limitations on poker and gambling income. Also, the shrinking number of Enrolled Agents and CPAs in this decade. It seems so common now to hire an out of state tax professional. Will check out

I was speaking to a high school poker class today. All sophomores. I said that we haven't had great online poker options in the US since 2011. Then I realized that was about when they were born, and let's just say it's a good thing I was already sitting down.

Someone just prompted me to listen to an interview I did with Duncan Palamourdas a few years ago and I'm really proud of it! Fair warning: it's got very little to do with poker. And there's a Part 2.

One of my favorite poker memories was seeing a man notice, mid-hand, that a Christmas special was on one of the TVs. He folded out of turn, whipped out his phone, and said, "Yo, turn on the DVR. They showin' the Grinch!"

Inherent Vice in the middle of the day at a theater in the Castro (SF). The film was delightfully surreal and unsettling, a feeling that stayed with me I walked out of the theater into a crowd of naked people protesting something or other.

I cannot emphasize enough that if you feel sad, donating money makes you feel better. Local food bank, diaper bank, mutual aid, a favorite charity, cancer research, or a local news site like
@thecity.nyc
; there are so many options. Money is the most efficient donation. Or sign up to volunteer.
