AOC in the primary. The Democrat in the general. I don't care if it's Gollum, as long as it isn't an Epstein Rich Pedophiles Club Couch Fucking Fascist.
My planned primary vote might skitter around before the voting. My general vote is like a red white and blue vibranium shield. It's not moving.

If you know you have done a bad thing, you don't interview with Chotiner. Duh. If you think that you haven't done a bad thing, interviewing with Chotiner sounds like fun. If you were wrong, ouch.

I think Trump just said that Gustavo is a boat. That is not a good thing.
Just last month Trump called him a drug peddler and threatened to bomb Colombia.😂

I googled "money maxxing sigmas", and the Black Scholes Model for option pricing popped up.
Investors used to run this calculation for the entire options market on a bajillion GPUs to find mispriced options, so they could money max. Maybe they still do.

I probably wasn't going to do anything, but now that I've realized that I'm sick, I feel morally obligated to do nothing, which is way better.

When I was working, my first 60 years, and for a couple years after I retired, my fingernails just took care of themselves.
Now I've de-stressed, I've noticed that if I don't do something, they just grow and grow. So weird. What do people do?

Canadian Armed Forces are modelling responses to a US military invasion from the south.
They expect Canadian forces to be overrun in a fortnight, so the plan centres on Afghanistan-style insurgencies to inflict mass casualties on US troops

The Norwegians must be feeling terrible about how Trump is beating up on Denmark because a Norwegian organization didn't kiss Trump's Depends. Sweden is mopping their brow over their near miss.

The Vice President and the cabinet have to sign on to a 25th amendment ruling.
Impeachment and conviction in the senate would send a message to the new president that the 25th amendment wouldn't.

Over many decades, we've made good friends in the neighborhood. Some of them have been a little nervous because we are a 7 foot, 300 pound pro-wrestler, but we've helped defend the neighborhood for decades.
Now, suddenly, we are going to steal a neighbor's kid because we are bigger and stronger. 🧵

Denmark is offering to buy California, The Netherlands is offering to buy New Amsterdam (Manhattan).
While we are having a yard sale, I just want to mention that there are a lot of ethnic Italians and Portuguese in Rhode Island, and that it would be a shame if a bidding war broke out.
