Kathy Hochul the kind of lady who in the 80s kids movie steps in at the last minute to save the park from being turned into a strip mall and a week later turns it into a Cold Stone Creamery
She’s been like this for a long time actually. She has really good moments standing up to the regime and you’re like oh shit there goes Kathy again protecting our asses.”

And then the next day she does some bullshit to appease wealthy donors.

The woman’s pendulum swings intensely back and forth.
I really did not have “Kathy Hochul understands this political moment better than almost anyone else in the Democratic Party” on my bingo card but here we are

CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this?

Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

People stop all diets for the same reasons: it stops working, they realize the supposed benefits from losing weight don't give them as much pleasure as eating, or they suffer health consequences. My BFF gave herself Multiple Sclerosis by following a strict low-fat diet, so it's really all diets.

Similar to the folks who are subscribing to the carnivore , all meat diet fad

We’ve been down this path before during the 80s/90s with the Atkins diet

People stopped doing it back then because of the liver & kidney issues, and heart disease it caused

In biz school, there was a finance class where I didn’t understand something. The professor tried explaining several ways, but it all sounded nuts to me. I could feel my classmates’ stares.

It was 2003 and he was explaining Credit Default Swaps.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Waiting for the feds?

the democrats not having a single idea how to play the world's biggest and most suggestible egomaniac is yet another reason they belong on the scrap heap of history
It’s cool that Zohran was able to find common ground with Trump on material issues of affordability while the rest of the Democratic Party has only found common ground with him on hating and harming trans people.

it is true that trump sucks and is shitty, but it is also true that he is incredibly susceptible to the jangling of keys, and it is wild that no democrat until Mamdani has figured this out

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths

2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

An indictment on the collective intelligence of all involved that this doesn't make them realize that transphobia, like all prejudices, rests on fundamentally irrational and inconsistent bases.

I was at a bar that had an all gender bathroom with two urinals and a stall, and was peeing and a lady came in and went to the stall and then I washed my hands and left and my thought was "wow this being normal shit is easy"

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.
i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead
