I love Unicode 𓂺

Is there any competition? It has to be the John Wick movies, they're the movies that made me realize just how talented of an actor he is! He's the best physical actor in Hollywood today. No one else has his immense command of body language and expression

I predict we're going to get a steady train of "AI tells" that are just online semiliterates discovering normal things competent professional writers do, and which LLMs trained on a lot of professional writing will also therefore do.

I can't get over how bad this writing is

My political enemies are simply not good people

If they arrest Newsom, declaring that you no longer recognize the Trump administration as the legitimate lawful government of the United States, and that in your view, the presidency is in a state of interregnum, should be an option for any sitting Dem official

As a big fan of the Posse Comitatus Act, this is my personal 9/11

Slowly tuning back into politics and the news is rapidly reaffirming my desire for some sort of lib-left Cheka

What's the Stars equivalent of the "Corsi Canes"? "Stats Stars"? "SABR Stars"? Bc my God we couldnt fin(n)ish at all and it killed us this year. Shout-out to the Marchment-Duchene-Seguin line in particular for having a great 60% xG% (per Moneypuck) and 7.8 xG but only two, TWO!!!, actual goals

Changing the spelling of your name is a pretty good bit

Credit where it's due, Gov Gianforte, and the MT GOP in general, have been very good on housing policy

Ottawa favored over the Leafs is bold

Who's going to be the one to tell John Green

there was an old lady who swallowed a fly, and to get rid of the fly she swallowed a bee who thinks her hive hasn't had a queen since jeanne paulette the twenty-two-thousand twenty-second

David Irving is so much of a Holocaust denier that *a British court* (which infamously have very low standards for what constitutes libel) ruled you can call him that. This is how the NYT chose to describe that court decision

I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops, you simply do not hate the NYT enough

And some journalists, I assume, are good people

Credit to Harvard for being the first university brave enough to stand up and say no, leading to other universities doing the same

The markets being propped up by sheer delusion is very on brand for the US

Gotta say, I understand why bankers do cocaine now

Lmao Navarro is repeatedly putting his own foot into his mouth on CNBC

Will Wall St finally figure out which way their bread is buttered?

I'm proposing a new ideology, it's a synthesis of socialism, georgism, neoliberalism, and neoconservativism (or Trotskyism, take your pick). I'm calling it "goodism"

OVI!!

Nasdaq closed down just shy of 18% from peak, pretty possible it hits bear tomorrow

Russell 2000 in bear market btw
