Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

BAD COMPANY
Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream

"There are 19,000 private equity funds in the US. There are 14,000 McDonald's in the US. How are there more private equity funds than McDonald's? That's actually crazy, right?" KKR & Co. partner Alisa Wood said Wednesday at Bloomberg's Women, Money and Power event in London. "Capital coming back is really important. The mark-to-market paper gains only take you so far."

Nothing against the Padres, but I love broadcasters spending 30 minutes at near-climax talking about how a run was just squeezed out by knowing how to win, and then the other takes the team lead away with two swings in a minute.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Wild takeaway from "Democrat leads Senate race poll by 7 points in red state."

Nick (derogatory) ✨ @slothropsmap.bsky.social · 27d

It's impossible to predict trends further out than a year or two, but because political ideology has become immovably core to our sense of self in recent decades and the majority of new couples meet in self-filtering app marketplaces, I think marriage and birth rates are gonna continue to PLUMMET.
