Raphael Bostic at #appam2025 on his journey to becoming President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve - notes that he almost quit grad school multiple times, because “it is hard”: up to that point you are absorbing information as a student - in grad school you are a producer of information.

*gasp*. THE INDIGNITY
His perfection has been questioned.

Poor bébé

The mental gymnastics are astonishing. Surely being that unmoored from morals, decency, AND reality is exhausting.

Ha. I've bid on your auctions. Your scam would end up being not an actual scam. Every participant getting a handcrafted or 3D printed dragons and learning how to phonebank.

In the last few days, there's been a lot of fearful chatter about how "ICE NOW HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO HACK INTO ANY PHONE" with Paragon Systems Graphite spyware. This isn't an accurate assessment of how the spyware works and who is at risk, so at LFP we made some graphics to help folks understand.

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles
RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

But the sound of "trash", especially with Midwestern flat vowels really allows you to indicate the level of disdain implied by a phrase like "absolute piece of trash".

Rubbish just sounds too refined.

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

I can't believe it took them this long. Normally Walmart, Kroger, etc. are usually right on top of this.

This entire industry needs smacked on the forehead and told "you're healed". Metaphorically and legally. I mean.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Good. Seriously. Please let Trump pick every SEC coach. Let him make every decision for the entire conference. The only way we'll ever break Trump fever in that part of America is to let him get involved with their college football decisions because they care deeply about that shit

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"
portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Aww, nice. It's so crazy when they're all grown up, personal-wise. For no logical reason, professional success by former students doesn't make me feel as old as their relationship and family milestones.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

I can name you a non-Cali governor who has actually worked to protect trans rights and speaks out for the vulnerable. The Newsom worship is so weird.

Adam Silver said WNBA players shouldn’t ask for revenue share because W revenue is much lower than the NBAs. But the NBA's financial condition heading into the 1983 CBA when players got rev share was similar/worse than where the WNBA is now. Going to discuss on today’s pod:
