‘One thing we learned once the DotCom bubble burst was that analysts often sought to justify extremely high share prices by ramping up growth expectations, shifting excessive EPS growth into the outer years where there is less scrutiny of their assumptions.’ www.reuters.com/commentary/r...

If you're looking to channel your nervous energy or just make sure that we run through the tape this election, I recommend the targets identified by Give Smart -- a good place that ensures you'll get the biggest bang for your buck statesproject.org/get-involved...

Defecting is a choice. When you are given a rifle and told to go murder Ukrainian civilians, you actually can choose which way to shoot.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Who is giving him this test and when will they throw the red card?

Literally the only person I’ve ever known to be given this test was my mom. She died of Alzheimer’s.

Trump screaming into the mirror about himself

Trump on El-Sayed: "We can't him in the United States-- we can't have him in the United States Senate. I look so forward to Michigan. I think it's gonna be wild. Because he's a total phony. He's a little phony. He's a jihadist. He's a vicious, violent jihadist."

"You're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican you say you want to defeat." Establishment elites trying to maintain plausible deniability while undermining the Dems in the general election will fail on both fronts. We will win, and we will remember.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

for those only dimly aware of cybersecurity people screaming, "a security certificate which underpins the entire internet used '4' for a private key that is supposed to be 116 digits long" and "a popular web language lets anyone run code on your server" are two different issues from the same day

The facade is cracking and the rot is spurting out...

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

Having a conversation with another person who also has this tendency to "dolphin" is a lot of fun, though. Keeps the conversation lively and exciting.

“We’re almost dead in the water because our workforce is gone,” said Scott Brannock of Jacksonville-based Tidewater Homes and the Northeast Florida Builders Association. “We have national builders who are missing projections … because they have slabs sitting on the ground and no one to frame.”

It's true. I started talking about the French Revolution (and money) and .... it went on for a while. So grateful to @robinwigglesworth.ft.com and his colleagues that they opted to make it a two-parter (with a cliffhanger in Sept. 1790!) rather than go look for a less voluble expert!!

Liberté, égalité, fraternité! The Story of Money is this week tackling the French Revolution — and how it was also a battle over debt and money. The first of a double-header with the wonderful @rlspang.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZeN...

This is like something I read from a Japanese civilian in WWII talking about how he realized they were losing when the IJN's "glorious naval victories" kept getting closer and closer to the Home Islands.

This would be a great subject for a classic 70s-style heist movie. But I admit I'm puzzled how you dispose of stolen high-end wine. Isn't the whole value in the provenance?https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/003baea1-4fb8-4847-95b0-3f2096893dce

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Large family office CIO told me about an "exclusive offer" for a bank feeder into one of the big multistrats: 8 year lockup with 2&40 fees, passthrough & a feeder vig. He's like why on earth would I do that for 8%..maybe 10% returns if I'm real lucky?
