Today will be my 1,000th consecutive day of gratitude journaling 💖
At first, it was unbelievably cringe and a real slog to keep at it, but after a few months it got easier. It has without a doubt helped rewire my brain into being better able to recognise the good things in my life.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Big banking data day. Here's the all important credit flow - how much $ banks pump into the economy - net of repayments.
We'll start with the biggie: mortgages. The monthly data has leapt into the neutral/positive range as interest rates drop and folks 'buy the bottom'. [🧵 1/n]

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

Just wondering if we should be paying attention to unusual polymarket bets on when certain countries will be invaded by the U.S. because that might be our first notice of the crimes we’re about to commit.

MMH is shockingly inept
RNZ posted a write-up this morning on MMH going a little bit into the samples and the alleged motives behind the breach.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

The same MMH terms of use also require the *user* to *notify ManageMyHealth" if the learn of a security breach of MMH. You'd think it would be the other way around, but apparently not.
(My support case for notifying them they were breached is CAS-2597956, if anyone wants to reference that 😉)

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.
SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money.
Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

It would have been helpful for the Biden DOJ to have released this information during the 1,460 days of his administration.
Perjury. Contempt of Congress. Lying to the public. It’s all there in the files.
Documents show that federal investigators knew of at least 10 co-conspirators.
Why were they never prosecuted? Why is the Admin shielding their names? Why did they lie to Congress? We will get to the bottom of this.
