Hi new BlueSkyers! I’m here to talk markets, economy, food/wine, travel and try not to despair the next 4 years. Feel free to tag me in all doggo pics, still miss my darling Lucy RIP who was the bestest sweetest girl ever. Here she is in 2020 💜

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Republicans, they're not like us.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Aaaaaaaaahahahaha

wait, did I miss the tribunals where Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were "held accountable" and are sitting in jail and forced to pay restitution for their grifting? lol no, he means "Trump got tired of them and fired them, absolving the Dems of having to inflict any accountability'

The achievements of the Serbian student movement will be studied for decades. This was their blueprint for revolution. The recipe for throwing a corrupt authoritarian from office. Read, learn, implement. (📸 Save and Saclony)

my trading desk went from 16 people in 2000 to 4 when I left in 2008 we kept putting direct electronic access on our clients’ desks of courses that’s what happened

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I remember the criticism Mayer received from spending loads of money on a Great Gatsby-themed holiday party, including some sort of throne she sat on(?), meanwhile the company was laying off staff. Evidently she was capable of planning tone deaf events back then without the help of an AI bot 🤷‍♂️

this airing on Fox?? hoooo we got a ball game here people

One if the lessons to be learned from Brazil is to stop elevating your opponent’s social media (even to dunk) and promote your own message. _This applies to Matt Yglesias and his ilk, too._ Just stop it, please.

I knew someone who went to Harvard with him and said the only thing he'd trust Kushner to broker a deal for is cocaine

As Petey Pablo has demanded: North Carolina... Raise up.

Your daughter is creative. Your daughter loves animals. You daughter is empathetic.

I have never put in for an IPO (we both worked at investment banks so disqualified until just a couple years ago) $ANT might be my first!

Trump should disavow the Muslim Brotherhood and return the jet bribe from the organizations's largest funder - Qatar

Magnetic aligners are suitable for aligning long, slender ferromagnetic objects like nails so they can be packaged compactly. Original post

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

It’s going to be incredible the extent of the crimes we’ll find out about after these criminal imbeciles are thrown out of power. We’re going to need a full investigation and accounting for all of the crimes they have committed.

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

Keeps happening

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I can’t think of anyone I’d want to listen to less she’s a robot

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

Sure, he can say this sort of thing as a candidate in a safe, blue, hippy state like Kansas...

Every time you shake him, more misdeeds fall out…

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
