Cannot express how much you should go lib out and see Springsteen if you have the chance. Oh you don’t think you like Springsteen? Shut up, of course you do

Btw none of my coworkers knew the hot dog guy meme. Important to remember that other people out there are touching grass. New taxonomy- Normal & offline- most people. Don’t know HDG Maybe normal & online- like 3 people. Know HDG but not Aella Not normal & online (us) - know HDG & who Aella is

So happy Bloomberg did get a pic. I didn’t lie

Sat 3 feet from Jeff Bezos and his wife at a charity event tonight. Kind of wanted to slap his bald head and say “wonder why y’all need to raise money for people whose SNAP benefits are cut you fcking asshole”

While we’re discussing elder Millennial music, something that always bothers me: “Return of the Mack” came out in 1997. Does anyone remember hearing this song *that year*?? In my head it’s a song from 1992 I listened to as a “throwback” in 2002. Sounds like early 90s to me too.

It’s funny that a large faction of this website talks about class solidarity and how anyone who works for a living is “working class,” then someone who makes like $500K a year describes themselves as “Upper Middle Class” and the responses are all “to the guillotines with you”

“Average new car price is $50,000” is such an interesting example of vibeseccion / media/ sm discourse about the economy. 1) uses average not median which we’re not allowed to do when talking about income 2) the average price is high because Americans are rich and truck brained and choosing this

Is that good?

This is pretty wild.

Yest I saw a friend who works at JPM and she bears a resemblance to that woman in the story and now all of her clients are calling her Lorna

Not the most pressing issue for NYC, but Grand Army Plaza South in Manhattan has been being renovated for, I believe, 2 years. Took this pic a few weeks ago. Every single day there are between 0 and 2 desultory workers on site, progress is being made in inches

It’s interesting that there’s a very common type of guy that looks at market that always goes up and says “smh it’s all rigged” who refuses to invest “I won’t go to that casino, they rigged the game in the players’ favor!”

This is not the most important news from the US for many reasons, one is that a reasonable person can draw no other conclusions than farmers fcking love going bankrupt

30 mins ago lots were saying “a thousand journalists and nobody knows what’s going on?! Lmaooo” but guys, you’re on BlueSky, a very niche microblogging app. There are a LOT of journalists here but a LOT are not here. Guess which way WHCD attendees tilt?

Lmao

One of Bluesky’s favorite myths and it’s not true

Mayor Mamdani tear down these walls! of plexiglass

IRGC can take the oil, but I draw the line at them taking our gifs

Pretty sure I saw Alan Dershowitz in my office building elevator today. Wasn’t really paying attention then the old man in front of me started yelling at the elevator as he left and I saw his face and I’m 99% sure. Wish I had looked earlier so I could have told him to gfhs

We’re now about 12 hours too long into airport discourse but I’ll allow it. Perfect low stakes topic, I think only a few accusations of fascism have been thrown around so far

For as absolutely insane as the recent rally has been, SPX “only” +6.4% in 6 months (+4% since 10/29 local high). EPS up, P/E lower though still very high relative to LT history

Unfortunately 44° and cloudy/ rainy Sunday is perfect lazy stay at home and doomscroll weather

Is Resy the worst mainstream app/service ever created?

Banger

1 year breakevens this week showing why you shouldn’t look at 1 year break evens

People on this website still talk about UBI. Lol. Lmao even.

Not a 🇭🇺 politics knower but it’s interesting to see people across the intra-left spectrum here celebrating this election result despite a Cons winning. Almost like you *do* understand the importance of ousting a corrupt authoritarian even if the alt isn’t the same type of communist as you

We’re so back

The QTs to George’s post. Fam we’re NGMI.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE that Microsoft had one of the best email tools in the market (“Sweep” function for inbox) and they apparently are getting rid of it.

B T F D undefeated

Cool pics of earth. Here are some I like that I took from a little closer. Going to randomly post these when the vibes are bad.

Will no one rid me of this troublesome president?

It’s cool that Americans were the first people to land on the Moon therefore they are indigenous to the Moon. Any other country tries to go there- sorry that’s colonialism

Something I rarely see mentioned is that NYC income tax is incredibly regressive, but there’s not *that* much room to make it more progressive. (NYS increased tax rates on high earners in 2022).

The ISS travels at 17000 mph and circles the globe every 90 minutes?!!!! Learn something new every day

I actually don’t understand what’s going on with the relentless increase in healthcare and education employment. I thought hospitals and education were getting decimated by budget cuts? Where are these people working?

Pam Bondi does look pretty good for her age. She’s like the only one of these women who has had the appropriate amount of work done

The moon is cool but I’m reading about the Voyager program… these things were sent up in the late *1970s* and are still transmitting data from *interstellar space*. Voyager 1 is currently *16 billion miles* away I’m sure some of you nerds knew all of this but I was only vaguely aware

It’s actually incredible that the tech forward founders of a new platform managed to attract 30M insane luddites who hate technology and the word “new”

Unlike everyone else here I’m not an expert on the military but every time I see a new “x000 troops headed to Middle East” it strikes me as a lot but… not enough? Then I saw this and yeah, again, not an expert but 10K more than usual doesn’t strike me as a recipe for ground invasion success?

Did I listen? No I did not

Me buying odd lots as market crashes

One weird thing is that when the issue of public mental health crises come up a lot of people both left and lib will say “thank Reagan for closing the mental health institutions 😡😡” but if anyone suggests that some people should be institutionalized they’re immediately called fascists

So there’s a contradiction here …

For a while there were too many frozen yogurt stores and now there’s too few frozen yogurt stores. How do we stop this boom bust cycle and get to an equilibrium with the correct number of frozen yogurt stores

Very annoyed as I just realized that this current airport chaos will make a lot more people add the TSA touchless ID which I was always pleasantly surprised seemingly nobody had previously discovered

The **over a DECADE LONG* ATC shortage is infuriating and bewildering. Money can’t solve every problem but it would go a long way to solving this one and it’s been over 10 yrs and 3 diff admins and everyone’s 🤷‍♂️

Very funny that everyone here says the users at the online Nazi Bar are cooking their brains, or bots, or grifters, until a screenshot from the Nazi bar that says “America bad” starts circulating then they’re a font of truth and wisdom
