Going to early vote

I won't attack Saudi Arabia for $100 million

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Is NYT/Siena going to do one last round or are we done?

I really don't think the market understands that we're going to be attacking Iran again in a week.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Wow. $EWZ taking it hard, down 27%

But in a *good* way.

!!!

Why are all these Republicans defending Saddam Hussein's taste in decorating?

There's nothing better than seeing the expression on my grandkid's face when he asks if I'm staying for his 2nd basketball game, and I say yes.

It’s disrespectful to refer to our President that way

The early voting blog is updated! As Week 2 of in-person early voting begins, signs are ominous right now for NV Republicans. The election isn't held today, but if it were, there would be a blue wave. I show you why in this post, and more data later. thenevadaindependent.com/article/the-...

Once again, during election season, I am reminded how comforting it must be to be MAGA. You're going to win; if the polls say you're not, they're fake; if you actually lose, they cheated. Never a concern, never a doubt. Whereas "Democrats fret" is a standard headline.

SNDK under the 200-day MA for the first time in history (well, feels like it)

I bet it won't arrive *after* either.

$AAPL market cap once again > $NVDA

Ok, this is either funny or a nightmare. UMass Poll, President 2028 (1000 LV): Hunter Biden 37 Donald Trump Jr. 36

When I was young, I hoped to age handsomely like Tom Skerritt, Sam Elliott, etc. Now I realize that you sort of need to look them them when you're younger for that to work. RIP Tom Skerritt.

Well, that should do it.

Where's my "5% 10-year yield" hat?

RIP Ron Duguay. Another part of my youth.

Burn them all down

In an effort to stymie the Houthis' attacks, Saudi Arabia has ordered 100,000 bone saws from Home Depot.

I'm starting to think Saudi Arabia is helpless without their bone saws.

Has anyone told the crude futures market that the U.S. controls the Strait and it's open?

I’m not sure why, but all I could think of today was that phrase “the graveyards are filled with indispensable men”.

Good timing.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?

Boy, I have such weird-ass dreams.

So on the same day we get a WSJ story that means Musk should be in prison, we're going to get stock analysts fellating him with "great quarter".

*MUSK: BOTH SPACEX, TESLA HAVE SPECIAL CMTES TO DISCUSS MERGER By all rights,we should be having a special government committee to discuss nationalizing SpaceX and arresting Musk.

one day Musk will be thought of as one of the biggest mass murderers of the 21st Century

I can alreadty tell tomorrow is going to be a particularly infuriating day.

It's going just great

Getting a little worried about Texas. Not sure high turnout there is good for the Dems.

DJT and $DJT racing to new lows

D'oh. The U.S. websites are *still* down, a week later.

$DJT 6.66 Make of that what you will.

Ooh, guess what stock hit an all time low approval rate too.

Who knew that you could sell stuff for cheap if you never pay your supplier? Why don't other businesses think of this?

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

i think i found tommy

@followtheh.bsky.social @ivanthek.bsky.social Did we know how close we came?

#ETTD , even things made up for him.
