Aran wool sweater purchased 33 years ago in college. Somewhat oversized, but I grew into it. Cedar drawers kept the moths away, and it's yet to see a dry cleaner.

I've been looking for something to complement my sex trousers and sex loafers.

They're machines for confidently asserted unreliable logorrhea.

I think the lack of use cases will ultimately sideline LLMs for any fact based enterprise in business or academia. But they're going to cause so much cognitive atrophy in students before we get there.

Glavset paid for accounts elsewhere, beginning around 2015. The major MAGA disinformation accounts in the 2016 election were in Macedonia.

I don't think X's engagement pay is enough, and some were part of the disinformation network before engagement payments.

It's Glavset.

Little surprise that a great deal of reactionary disinformation is foreign. Many of the calumnies against Hillary in 2016 came from Macedonia.

What I'd like to see uncovered is the financial ties between Glavset and these peeps in Bangladesh and India.

Henry Hub pricing is running counter to the NG storage reports, running within 0.2% of 5 year highs.

My personal hope is that a mild winter offers better entry points in the NG E&Ps, when I'm ready to rotate from gold miners.

The trio of groups meriting care in the Hebrew bible is 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴, orphans, and widows:

Ex. 22:20-21, Deut. 10:17-18, 24:17, and 27:19, Ps. 146:9, Jer. 7:5-7, Zech. 7:10, Mal. 3:5.

So Trump, how is Stephen doing treating the foreigners with kindness and humanity?

I've hiked cold weather with a béret basque. They're not like military berets, there's enough wool that one can pull it forward or to the side to shade eyes and ears.

And from Basque country to Northern Spain to Argentina...

My key takeaway is that climate models, by underestimating aerosol masking, also greatly underestimated equilibrium climate sensitivity.

A study from 2005:

This targeting has all the marks of some hallucinating Palantir AI.

60 people murdered, because someone on the boat had taken cell calls from an alleged cartel member somewhere in the phone logs.

The bible is very clear about how foreigners (aliens, strangers, sojourners) should be treated.

There are entire coffee table cookbooks where Michelin chefs offer vegan menus.

I don't eat out often (plant based and all). The two last times, off peak hour, the chefs regarded my requests as a challenge, and I had by consensus the best looking/tasting entree.

Remind all HR managers and law-enforcement recruiters, 'former ICE thug' is not a protected class in employment law.

This is almost certainly Stephen Miller's intent with these provocations.

It would offer justification for this admin to apply the Insurrection Act. The US Department of War fully deployed against American citizens.

The SEC filings on DJT are damning enough. '24 revenue: 3.6 million. Losses $400 M. Cash: $777 M. Market valuation: as high as $12 billion, now $4.3 B.

Its a conduit transferring $ from shareholders to insiders like former congressman Devin Nunes.

Darin Morgan's episodes are all memorable moments.

Also, one of my favorite writing career trajectories: he started wearing a rubber suit, portraying a mutated flukeworm in S2E2.
