The needles were both fine (I have to take Dupixent which feels more suited for use on a horse) and my covid arm was heavier the next day, but just enough to be noticeable.

We've cut 125 bps in the past 12 months and markets are pricing 100% chance of two more cuts in the next 3 months, while 10y BEI is 2.4%. Pretty wild stuff when core PCE has been above target for 18 straight quarters and 20 seems to be a lock.

Chart shown core PCE QoQ SAAR since 1985, with the Fed's 2% inflation target and Q3 core PCE tracking included.

Magic Eraser on the Pixel is really something. I took the first picture as I was walking into the Adirondack Balloon Festival and couldn't line it up to take that light out of the shot. I just circled it on my phone and it took it out.
