What the grifter petting zoo bullshit is this?

I think the working theory in the bounce was TACO. Now it's dawned on everyone that our opponent gets a major say in whether he can quit or not.

Iran has spent 45 years preparing for this, and they are masters at hitting soft targets, at the same time the US has gutted counterterrorism.

Yeah, he could really turn an imagery-filled phrase.

Really great to be on a site with literate people who know what they're talking about.

He was one of the ringleaders of a deadly coup attempt in your own workplace dipshit. The only respect he deserves is a bullet in the back of the fucking skull. I'm happy to do it for you, if you're too big a goddamn pussy.

Now we apparently have thst Markwayne guy, and everyone seems down on him, but I really liked his Huckleberry Finn book.

There's the George W Bush Jr trick of going to CRB and demanding they lower the weighting of oil in the commodity indices.

And, there, it looks like Orwell is just expounding on a line from a Kipling poem about a soldier turned away from a pub, where he lamented, "making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep.”".

No, not really. The closest in his works is an essay on nationalism. As you know, ge wrote incisive essays, but here, he was expounding on what Kipling meant in a poem about a soldier turned away from a pub, where he wrote the lament "making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep.”

It's sort of like how dip-buying has to be beaten out of you... the TACO trade more or less defined 2025.

No judgment, Keith. A courtier's gotta do what he's gotta do.

Perhaps because he just can't fulfill his humiliation kink properly in the Senate?

Stupid motherfucking pieces of shit should go back and unfuck all the renewable they stomped on for no reason other than greed and idiocy.

Sorry, botched that post with stuff in my paste buffer, hope you got the point.

transportation. Somewhere slong the way, the US morphed to a low-trust society. People you see as gentle grannies and grandpas have shit-filled souls just beneath the surface. Open racism, misogyny, xenophobia, transphobia.

Thing is, like the murderous father, they expect to be loved for it, too

What the fuck is "spiritual warfare", exactly?

Imagining his deliberations.

Yeah, it gave them the precise location to incinerate 150 little girls. What a triumph of technology!

That was one of my questions after reading this. It appears private credit never has to mark a loan to market until it's actually sold. We have no idea who their counterparties are or what the loans would actually trade at.

Selling a significant chunk of oils and oil services I put on 1st and 2nd weeks of January. They're at the top of their trade and trend ranges. Plan to buy them back closer to bottom of range.

Gotta hit a 35-40% move in 8 weeks.

Bought a min position in the Baltic Dry index and wheat yesterday.

Yeah, just found the numbers. Of the 6 SPACS he took public, 5 lost value between 70 and 98%. The only one that wound up with a positive share price since 2020 was SoFi (and not by much).

Not voting for or funding anything to the right of 'turn his whole cabinet, all MAGA congresscritters, his tech-right funders, and right-wing influencers into lamppost ornaments for the full Mussolini.'

Fucking Clover Health, never was viable. He has to be lugging 80+% losses on some of those SPACs.

I became truly angry watching All In, where he and Sacks were asked about foisting pre-mined Solana on retail just before it dropped 80%, and both of them laughing, like, yeah, that was the point.

You know, if I had a gazillion dollars, you would never see or hear from me again in public. Only if I absolutely had to, I'd hire someone to write the most anodyne, non-committal, committee-approved posts you've ever seen.

I can always use a nap.

I'm just saying, I'm not seeing it where I work, not really anywhere, yet.

There are no safe rooms anywhere.

And, appropriately, ended with a US president humiliated in the deserts of Iran.

Choo choo, motherfucker.

No one's even looking at the DevOps stuff my guys do. Not sure they even understand the range and chaos of what we're responsible for. Probably helps that we all actively work to construct an entire alternate reality to the AI stuff already in place. It's sorta like a maliciously-trained parrot now

People have made noises for 2 years about automating my capital markets apps, but nothing's come of it. Not a line of AI-generated code in production. No one trusts it with real money and live trades.

Remediating the cruft from 6 massive creaky apps, built in layers for 25 years, will take years.

His job - manager of city engineers for a rural town - wouldn't be the disqualifying thing.

Almost certain he was a Klansman. I'm quietly proud that's a cycle I personally broke in the family forever, and told my younger cousins if I heard they ever did some racist shit, I was gonna beat them.
