Given the track record of hedge fund managers over the last 30 years, I'd love to start a co-op that acted as a hedge fund taking weighted inverse positions on the portfolios of hedge funds. I can't wait to write a Python script that tests how well that inverse fund fund would've performed lol

The pen is indeed mightier than the bomb. There's so much love and talent all over NYC. Subscribe to this channel youtu.be/eJ2pr-GdgB0?...

Hey Gemini AI, Just wondering something: does everyone calling Trump "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out re: tariff threats) realise that the word #taco is a euphemism for vagina?

That's it I'm putting my foot down. More granola. More soup. Walks now include stops. Stories are untold until repeated at least twice at least twice. My soul is not old enough to handle watching politics. It's like being the DD but for a lifetime when I can't be senile with the rest of them.

I always knew I swear a lot more than most, but I had no idea the sailor I'd become after hearing the name of the same geriatric bowl of Cheetos every day for 10 straight years, everywhere. I never would've imagined that my mid life crisis would be spent dealing with residues of crises of others.

I don't understand how anyone could pity Floridian property owners as sea levels rise. The state charges zero income tax, so if they simply taxed people a normal rate like everywhere else then Miami could afford to turn itself into the Venice if the East... Instead they do nothing while uninsured.

Lmfao!!!!! Palantir's price to earnings ratio is 565x??? Seriously? If you buy the stock at the current price, if earning remained stagnant all of a sudden, you could expect it to take 565 years of static earnings to merit the price tag you just paid. I think we found this year's choice short lol

That's a "nailed it" (see 2-yr bonds vs. FX charts overlayed in every USD/x pair). Never seen bond and equity move together in the same direction before lol

Just checking old predictions because I find a vain pleasure in it, don't judge me. Does this count, yet?

I'm not a shoe guy, but I would be if Sophia Webster made men's shoes... #justSaying

I bet the world would look very different if every country and culture adopted an annual Haka tradition like New Zealand. It's a much better way to vent collective angst than social media. It's actually social, for starters, and it's good physical exercise too. Imagine UK's posh house of Lords lol

Someone needs to publish RFK's itinerary so we all know which river to poop in and at what time. Not suggesting anyone does it, that would be crude and obscene. I'm just saying that if someone did do it, I bet it would benefit humanity in the long run. That's all, totally neutral causal conjecture.

Not to mention every Republican who openly renounced the GOP corruption on the record then back-peddled like Marco Rubio, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell, even Democrat Cory Booker pulled bitch on his own morals to bow to the vulture perched on the iron throne. That's gang member shit, full stop.

How to tell if your friend has got their own Minecraft server at home...

So, I started reading this book called "Dark Money" by Jane Mayer. 1/3 of the way through after covering inheritances, manipulating campaign finance, charity fraud, and the many alumni of Kochs "think tanks" after being raised by a literally German Nazi nanny; it's almost boring by its familiarity.

Jealousy doesn't even begin to describe how proud I am of Leah lol I absolutely LOVE this show since I was in highschool. Knock 'em dead with that blugeon of sensibility!

My ducks think I have a beautifully big nose and feet, thank you very much. Everything's relative to whose opinions you choose to value. Wabi sabi, there's beauty everywhere when you know how to be nimble with perspective.

#wordsHaveMeanings Roy Casagranda has some of the best lectures and he's all over YouTube. Great for work rather than radio youtu.be/FRSGgSfKoAQ?...

More than 16,000 new dwelling units approved in #Edmonton one year after new zoning bylaw The approved units in 2024 represent a 30 per cent increase after bylaw was enacted www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Even though Lee Sedol will likely go down as history as the most renown Go player of all time, I wonder if it bothers him that he'll be remembered mostly for being beaten by DeepMind's AlphaGo AI...

"Republicans for medí-flayed" should be a belt buckle or something.

I really want everybody to hear this short speech. It's been the message of my music since before I ever published music, books and podcasts - but she does it better in 5 mins what's taken me 25 years and counting to scream.

Sw-ah-th? Or Sway-th? Seriously, one of them only sounds right in the plural for some reason, the other not at all. I wanna see how many people share my ear lol

ADHD doesn't inherently make someone creative but living with it and chasing novelty does just like anyone else who has a passion for exploration. There's a reason spectrum disorders are still present after millennia of evolution; as a minority of a group neurodivergent people are net complimentary.
