These two Detectives already know I am going on vacation soon by their simple chaos of throwing all of my laundry out of the basket.

THE GANG IS BACK BABY! #molpy

We're at the point where a fringe in Congress wants to upend 110 years of US' antitrust enforcement law with 1 simple budget gimmick. This is not about anti-trust efficiency (much better ways to do that), this IS a neat way to bully political opponents in business.

Help, my child is reading royalist propaganda

Out of sheer desperation and irritation I now must learn upholstery. This will be a difficult transition. I am not fielding questions at this time.

disciple 1: he’s alive! returned from the dead! disciple 2: did he roll away the stone? disciple 3: did he show you the holes in his hands? judas: did he uh. did he mention me

If you fell for Fyre Festival, I am sorry that's on you. If you fell for Fyre Festival 2 . . . idk man that's still on you what can I say? www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/16/f...

Printers are great because: 1. you can print stuff 2. you learn the word "cyan"

Anyway, here's Morse discovering what still water tastes like from my cup.

Update: The latest news is still pretty bad!

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

We're abolishing the Department of Education and sending its PhDs off to work in the shoe factories? Hell yeah Maoism is back babyyyy.

Econ sentiment update:

Yes I am posting a lot about the economy right now (sorry my other followers) but this tariff bullshit has directly lead to the creation of new jobs: specifically the job of me surfing 4-5 new groupchats of economists where we are all dooming.

Have you seen the markets? They crashed the Dow. It literally tanked Heebee. It brought down the TOPIX with banks. It's literally hitting the Russell. It probably tanks the Hang Seng. Dude he crashed the Gumpy. It's hitting the Kospi original. It's reached the Poob.

I find it funny that Boeing may be brought down not due to the plane crashes nor massive lawsuits but because some dude waved a piece of cardboard around in the Rose Garden. The typical Boeing supply chain is SUPER diverse, and they'll be way behind Airbus by comparison.

My sweet, fellow gamers: the world economy is not like your custom level in Super Mario World Maker. You can't drag and drop a factory next to the level flag.

"Smart" people are deluding themselves - the tariffs are not designed to negotiate free deals. Trump doesn't want a FTA with Guatemala, he wants the Guatemalan government to stop Americans from buying their bananas.

Oh no, the Trump Administration even got their own (insane) Tariff Formula wrong. The rates should have been 3 to 4 times LOWER under their own measure. (*Reaches for another bottle*) www.aei.org/economics/pr...

Only 27% of Wall Street knows that the leopard is out to eat as many faces as possible.

I stand with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands!

There was a lot of public complacency around "tired" arguments in favor of free trade but now that the public faces higher prices for . . . everything, it's suddenly remembers the very selfish (and good!) reasons why they liked trade.

Why are we tariffing minerals we can't onshore the mines . . . they're in rocks overseas 😭

Oh sweet summer child. Shoot / Chaser

Since Trump's favorite musical is Evita can we just skip the rest of Peronism @maiamindel.bsky.social or do we have to suffer through all three acts now?
