Ah my English blood is pumping now! Nobody throws an insult in English better than the English! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👇🏽🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Jesus lord. @jysexton.bsky.social gave us multiple warnings about how bad talking about Thomas Friedman would be. But nothing can prepare you for how useless his analysis is. Jared owes us all a bourbon after this. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-tired-...

I read the Times of London's review of Liz Truss's new book as: "She's not a good writer. She's not a person. Enjoy."

Coached girls and boys on the same team until high school. The girls dropped off because they wanted to play a different sport not because they weren’t allowed.

The President of the United States is a liar.

I'm not a Brazilian legal expert, but whatever "torturous interference" is in Brazil should be considered for Zuck and Meta's actions in Brazil's election. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-oligar...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

@dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social and @montgomerycounty library are great friends of mine.

FOLLOW EVERY ELECTION INSTRUCTION TO THE LETTER! Don't let this stop you from voting...

First win at the new gaff! COYS

AND ANOTHER

I’m keeping score right now: is Tel still not at the level? Should we still get him out of our team because he can’t do anything? Just bang average?! #COYS #CHETOT

Lee Dixon is gonna weep isn’t he?! #COYS #CHETOT

Preach.

Is Donald Trump a sociopath?! @patricgagne.com actually forces us to ask a better question. Good one. www.anotherjaneprattthing.com/p/the-worlds...

The money on the center-left has no idea what it is up against. I see no sign they have wised up from "let's give our money to uncontroversial things" while cutthroat right-wing billionaires buy up media and politicians to ensure their businesses can exploit us unimpeded.

It’s been a bad day, please don’t take a picture… 🙂‍↔️ “Bad Day” was released as a single on October 14, 2003. Here’s the video directed by Tim Hope.

That Joe Burrow video about the "opportunity" to meet JV Vance is pretty funny. "Did you get to meet JV?" "No...I made no time for that. But I'm glad he had a chance to see me practice." sports.yahoo.com/articles/joe...

Let's be real: some great teen pop and pop on this list. I'm going to need to see about being the cheerleader for Rob Base and DJ EZ-Rock. That album was a big hit in '88.

Lord. Have mercy. @pablo.show’s show today has one of the funniest descriptions of Billy Evans I’ve heard. Just A++ work. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Everything eventually becomes an ad network...that's old. Now, everything eventually becomes a gambling biz development tool.

A plan tells us what to do. A forecast tells us what we hope the numbers will be. A #strategy tells us where we are going. The EuroLeague has the first two. #sportsbiz talkingtickets.substack.com/p/euroleague...

The Trump financial know-how strikes again. He's even managed to do some bankrupting of the military...which seems unpossible.

This look at Trump against criteria for mental health is handled well by @markjacob.bsky.social. What we need to understand is where is the media on this? Because we should be holding him to the same standard he held Biden...right? www.stopthepresses.news/p/assessing-...

@onestpress.onestnetwork.com lays out the Trump lovefest with Putin for us to draw our own conclusions. Mine: Putin is cashing in his chips now. Because you never know what might happen after the election...good or bad. olgalautman.substack.com/p/why-is-tru...

As @kenklippenstein.bsky.social points out, Trump backing down on the live stream of the execution is about people power. The media won't cover it that way because, again, the owners don't want people to know how much power they have to create change. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/why-trump-...

This is a tasteless question but did @tomleykis.bsky.social have Kim Jong Un in his dead pool this year?

If anyone sees Zuck this weekend, it's not cool to give him a wedgie. But, we will all totally chip in to get you out of jail.

The movie is just as wild as has been reported. The reported twist with an actor is over the top. Chefs kiss.

Watched the Elizabeth Holmes movie and I don’t know what I watched. But 10/10.

Trump didn’t fire Zacharia because she was unqualified. When has that ever stopped him? He hired her because she was blond and eager to lie for him, and he fired her because she embarrassed him.

Profiles in courage.

Look at this picture from @michaelstipe.bsky.social’s collection. Fucking wild.

Who knew @michaelstipe.bsky.social was a major collector of Roy Cohn memorabilia?! Mind blown.

What’d he do today?!

Might have been the best book I read last year.

PULP FICTION was released 32 years ago today. A cultural phenomenon on its release, and the movie that catapulted the career of writer-director Quentin Tarantino, the tale of how it came to be is the Big Kahuna Burger of making-of stories…. 1/67

Deficit-Crisis-Miracle is the pattern causing the challenges with the Nashville Symphony. You are making a mistake if you think that's the only place it is happening. Part 3 of the Talking Tickets series. #tickets #strategy talkingtickets.substack.com/p/the-nashvi...

@markjacob.bsky.social is right here. Don't be alarmist about the election, but be realistic. We all should find some way to have a positive impact on the election over the next few weeks. Volunteering. GOTV. Campaigning. Participating. www.stopthepresses.news/p/be-optimis...

I never watch the video of Pablo’s show but this one deserves it. Totally the funniest episode. And who knew that Pablo was going to find out about the Kelly Clarkson vs bird story. And good on the show for auctioning the bird for cancer research.

The person who wrote this Wikipedia intro deserves a drink or two on the house.
