It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

a lot of people crediting that goal to Raphinha but I know what you did last, Sommer

There’s a city of 237,000 refugees on the Chadian/sudanese border in Adre. The Sudan war is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world right now. 150,000 dead and 12 million displaced. Chris Maddaloni and I spent a week in refugee camps in east Chad. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

I'll probably forget it by Wednesday but that was maybe a top-5 markets rush for me.

If I had to guess a level for the strike price of the “policy put option” (Fed/White House/Congress/whatever) over the next 2-3 months it’d be in the neighborhood of SPX 4700, call it down 15% from current levels.

*TRUMP: GLOBALISTS ARE BEHIND STOCK SELL OFF

Made an extremely wild chart today.

Presumably this was the plan all along and the spat with Zelenskyy in the White House the premeditated excuse.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Lmao literally this

When doing small jobs, people often wonder whether to buy two 5lt of paint (more expensive, but they can return an unopened can) or a 10lt can (cheaper overall, but may end up wasting half the paint). That's the eternal question, isn't it? Trying to choose between Biggie and Two Pack.

Has anyone tried blocking the path of the storm with a group of visiting Spanish students

United stuck with a doomed manager and threw even more transfer money at him to further build a squad totally unsuited to the ideologue manager who inevitably replaced him during an already-ruined season. Ineos have been a disaster
