It will never not be extremely messed up to me that she is in prison for transgressions committed against Theranos investors and not against Theranos customers.

lol whenever I'm stuck just guessing Matt Stairs tends to work more often than not.

I don’t expect or want the fans at the Garden to be rooting for Canada to win…but they best be standing up and cheering on Oh Canada as a rebuke to the shameful behavior taken by our disgraceful gov towards our neighbors.

1) The DFC does indeed turn a profit -> lowering the tax burden on the US taxpayer (not that this should not be the only criteria on which it is merited!) 2) It underwrites projects that no private institution will ever touch for a number logistical/enforcement/risk management reasons.

Truly an Olympic gold medal performance of cognitive dissonance on display here from bojo interpreting yesterday’s words from 😡 & Rubio as actually being an attempt to prod Eur into seizing Russia’s assets to use against it. Astounding. The ‘not intended to be historically accurate’ is an all-timer.

It’s a nightmare that the actions undertaken by my own country are evoking the words of Primo Levi.

And this is in Montreal of all places. Underscores just how offensive 😡’s actions are being received be it the tariff threats & even more so the taunting about making it the 51st state which the press here has largely been treating as some harmless joke.

People like to compare deficit spending to “eating your seed corn” but that phrase applies much better to cutting investments that will have long term returns

Is this glib & lacking of all kinds of nuance? Yes. Can I poke any substantive holes in it? Unfortunately, no I can’t.

Well we can reasonably assume the answer is that they did. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Putin treats western prisoners as bargaining chips. I’m glad he’s returning home. I fear what concessions on aid to UKR were made to secure his release.

The 100% figure is almost certainly wrong. But it's probably not off by much. And it certainly does highlight just how terrible the last 22 odd years have been.

It’s not explicitly under their supervision but it’s not exactly not not* under their supervision either. Michael Barr had some timing when he announced his resignation last week & his replacement is going to have their work cut out for them.

President Biden claiming Japan's investment in an American steel company is a threat to national security is a pathetic and craven cave to special interests that will make America less prosperous and safe. I'm sorry to see him betraying our allies while abusing the law.

A nice cherry on top to a great 2024 for the maize and blue. It was fun to do so against the team they started the year off. Hail to the victors! @umichfball.bsky.social

Also, I very much doubt he’d give any kind of revelatory answer on the FOMC’s plans in:re deportations & resulting labor tightness. But I’d love love love to hear their honest assessments & of course preliminary plans on the matter.

Chair Powell will of course demur if asked directly on what the FOMC’s working assumption of what R* is but I do think he would answer (& I hope he’s asked!) if that estimate has shifted from as recent as the summer in light of the revisions to the weak summer job prints & the current gdp estimate.

Not quite a raford3.bsky.social score but it is my new personal low (w/ the caveat the ones like today's are easier; my actual personal best on a normal one is still 40) ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 622 9/9: Rarity: 34 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref

My first post on here is going to be on something that is, yes, trivial. But it is fun (& fun is good!) & it is oh so true. And fitting for me. It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine :) Always. But it is sweeter when we top OSU in pigskin.
