Legendary set youtu.be/jHb9MCwyFHQ?...

The Age of Enshittification was already scripted in the stars when AOL, Oracle and Microsoft (all hilariously named yet apt euphemisms in retrospect) ran ads in the 90's about how they were shaping the future. Should've trusted the many whore-o-scopes who foretold of our pending self-immolation.

Note to self: curry, coffee, and cheese.

Clearing the last of my American contracts today to migrate the last of my US business to allied countries. Such an incredibly pointless pain in the ass all this nonsense is! I'll never expose myself to America like this again unless it's cheek or corn hole.

The irony of ICE being the violent gang threatening the population, under the auspices of protecting people from violent gang members, should not be lost by anyone.

When do we start rounding up ICE agents and thorwing them in Gulags for violating the constitution? Asking for a friend...

Pro tip for GOP: The best way to get really poor is borrow money when your currency is highly valued and then tank its value while you're running a deficit trying to service your debt with a weaker dollar, weaker trade, and weaker global appeal. #stableGenius hard at werk o'er derr lol

Just when you think USA economic policy can't get any dumber, Section 899 is on the way! In case non-Americans needed more reason not to invest in an overbought, and increasingly sclerotic, economy, then have no fear! Trump encourages everyone to dump US assets like he's Cheddar Bob from 8 Mile 😂

I was literally dumbfounded when he won reelection. I realized that it wasn't just stupidity, but also racism, hate and misogyny. There is a portion of this country who will never vote for a woman, no matter how qualified she is.

Remember the Tea Party uproar over Obamacare? Who would choose "no healthcare" over "guaranteed healthcare", except the people who already have healthcare and who are actively taking steps to eliminate medicaid and food stamps as a means of "saving money" to afford tax cuts for themselves?

#ICE 🎯‼️

The thing about having principles is that it means Party affiliation doesn't form your opinions for you... I don't understand how so many people are fixated on winning when the point of winning is supposed to be to have the right things get done; "forest for the trees," and all that blah blah.

"Don't make me come over there!" could be either a violent threat or a plea for mercy depending on the intent of the speaker. Try to be anti-fragile. You don't get to decide someone else's intentions based on how you received their message. It's always better to listen than to insist on malice.

When you're blind in one eye, cleaning both lenses when wiping your glasses feels 100% vain and futile at the same time. Good morning, Mr. Negativity

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.
