Unfortunate side-effect of being a conman is you fundamentally disrespect anyone who falls for the con and engages with you, hence the distance. A conman hates their enemies for not believing in them, for vexing them, but they have even lower opinions of those who help them. Of course Elon is alone

Screencap from Seven Dials, showing the protagonist driving a car in a legitimately fantastic tartine bucket hat and matching coat

Seven Dials is a good show actually, you just have to pretend that the protagonist is 12 years old and her murdered fiance is imaginary. Then her precociousness and general lack of care about his death clicks right into place, and it makes sense why her driving a car would be exciting.

This what they mean when they say the best poetry is never found in books

Rodriguez hugging the army and Chavista legacy during weekend and now pivoting today makes it hard to think there is much longevity to strategic thinking here.

Guessing she received a very recent pic of herself from U.S. SOF on her instagram and based her next policy decision on that.

Rodriguez is now spinnning on a needle with no support.

She has left herseft wide open to a michisimo general couping her to restore national honor and her only redress would require U.S. intervention.

Civil war seems inevitable.

Everyone continuing to scramble is further indication there was/is no plan.

Rodriguez going to vacate out of fear at this rate.

It's also kind of an insane reach--what is the deep rooted common stereotype about Somalis specifically that's supposed to get the pitchforks drumming to the same beat?

The only grasp is literally skin color, it could not be shallower.

When adequate new housing is built, existing homes become more affordable, and their new tenants over time tend to have relatively lower incomes than the previous tenants had. When supply is constrained, however, rising demand for housing (from population growth, income growth, mortgage access, and other factors) bleeds out into the existing stock. Rising home values are associated with an existing stock of homes that filters up to new residents with higher incomes instead of becoming a source of affordable housing for residents with lower incomes. The rise in costs and valuations is the most severe in ZIP codes with lower-income populations, and these neighborhoods are most prone to the effects of upward filtering.

This is better than any description of #gentrification I have ever seen. That term is generally so vague as to be useless, but the concept of filtering up makes the actual problem and solutions clearer.

'Grift' ETF Tied to Washington Access in Trump Era Hits a Wall Summary by Bloomberg Al • Wall Street's ETF machine has been creating riskier products, but the Tuttle Capital Government Grift ETF has been rejected by major exchanges. • The ETF, which targets firms with ties to Washington powerbrokers, has not received a formal explanation for the rejection from the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or Cboe. • Tuttle Capital's CEO, Matt Tuttle, plans to keep the ETF's name and thesis unchanged, and is hoping to list it on the Texas Stock Exchange, which is set to begin trading next year. By Isabelle Lee 12/29/2025 13:14:31 [BN] (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street's $13 trillion ETF machine pushed boundaries this year, cranking out ever-riskier products to feed retail traders hooked on yield, leverage and novelty. But when Connecticut-based Tuttle Capital Management proposed an exchange-traded fund tracking the perceived value of political access, the machine ran into a wall. The Tuttle Capital Government Grift ETF - ticker GRFT - is designed to target firms with apparent ties to Washington powerbrokers, from cabinet officials to stock-trading lawmakers. Yet no major exchange has agreed to list it, according to Matt Tuttle, chief executive of Tuttle Capital. Tuttle said the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Inc. and Cboe Global Markets Inc. offered no formal explanation. He received cursory phone calls, he said, that conveyed little more than a no. GRFT's registration became effective with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in the fourth quarter - according to a filing. While that status should allow the fund to proceed, it reflects a procedural milestone rather than an active regulatory endorsement, according to Bloomberg Intelligence's James Seyffart.

Of all the ETF slop, I can’t believe this is the one that can’t get listed.

Economic argument is that cost of cash (storage, transport, security) is equal or higher and would get passed to consumer anyway. Popularity of digital cash has likely reduced economies of scale for physical cash, making it even more expensive and allowing CC companies to raise accordingly.

It's too late, it's over, you've already lost. I've already framed my issue as the well-baked kitchen-table hamburger buns, and yours as some sweaty dough balls that looks like they're sweating alien blood.

Haven't worked in assessments in a long time but iirc the timing element allows you to sort people into a bell curve with fewer items. If everyone had more time, you would need more items to differentiate participants, which would then lengthen the time of the test even further.
