this @tracyalloway.bsky.social @weisenthal.bsky.social Odd Lots piece with @heidirediker.bsky.social is fantastic

Interesting that Tracy mentioned about their Dan Wang

Geographically attractive rather than immediately economically attractive for oil companies is the broad conclusion of this Odd Lots podcast. Sanctions, blockades, infrastructure, high breakeven costs of heavy crude, geopolitical risks are all headaches. A lot is just Trump's personal whims.

This is a dream job and you should definitely apply for this and the only better job at Odd Lots would be as a writer for the 3 minute finance/economics George and Gracie style comedic dialog that opens each show.

I listened to @weisenthal.bsky.social (big fan) on the Vergecast and he claimed it is hard to distinguish prediction markets from things like futures contracts; I very much disagree! So I wrote this bergmayer.net/prediction-m...

Being hot is now a job requirement The beauty tax for getting ahead at work is getting more expensive: 'I have to reverse age to stay here.'

Unrealistic beauty standards dominate social media and dating, but being hot is also career perk. I spoke with people who work 9 to 5s about how they feel the pressure to look young, have perfect smiles, and be thin in order to succeed. @businessinsider.com
