It's such an embarrassment. When WaPo first put up their tagline "democracy dies in darkness" my eyeballs just about rolled out of my skull. I was such a news nerd growing up I literally cried when Katherine Graham died and then again when the family sold the Post to Bezos. Journalism has never been as noble as some would like to believe, yellow journalism that started the Spanish american war built the treasure chests that fund the Pulitzer prizes now. But when I was young I was full of romantic notions about being a journalist. I'm glad someone at the Post brought me back down to reality and gave me the good advice to avoid the industry!
Why you so cute tho?
This is really cool! #philosophy
It's all Greek to me ππ€£

All morning I've been wishing for a way to block certain words πππ thank you for saying this!!
Look I also dislike modern art but it's not a reason to shit on education. Back then they called it an apprenticeship not a degree but it's not like they didn't do education https://www.milanartinstitute.com/blog/art-lessons-from-da-vinci
From your lips to God's ears! ππ₯³
Oh wow that clip is amazing! What is wild is that I think that sentiment is almost an omnipresent part of the human condition. It wasn't that people lived "back then" and are asleep now. When was "back then" enough that there weren't folks concerned over the sleepers not living a real life? Plato's allegory of the cave is what, 1500 years old? How long has there been a matrix we as humans try to escape?
Agreed, and that's if he's even guilty which at this point we still have to assume he's innocent. This meme is a bad take.
Looks divine!
Great job accidentally gardening! Garlic needs to grow a long time to build a good bulb. I let the greens grow over winter. Then in early spring it tries to flower, but you should cut that part away early (it's called garlic scape and is delicious sauteed in butter). Then once greens come back after that it should be nearing harvest time, it's neck should peak out of the soil like carrots when they're ready to harvest. But defer to the packet instructions if it's something other than hardneck! Good luck fellow gardener!
Good job getting your words in! Getting started back up again is always the hardest part. I hope the flow finds you!
When you find the next party let me know. The two party system makes a farce out of our politics. It creates the environment to let people be lazy and treat it like rooting for football teams instead of doing the work to think through an issue and fight for a better policy. It's all terribly disappointing.
Went to a normie Economic Outlook dinner this evening.
I was on the planning committee and tried to get nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm on the panel, but she never responded. π
Panelists included speakers from blackrock, JPM and northern trust.
When they send the email requesting feedback on the evening, here's what I'm gonna write:
1. Food was great
2. Immensely disappointed in the caliber of the panelists. Next year please screen panelists to make sure they realize CPI is not an accurate indicator of inflation in every day life.
I felt like I was listening to a panel sponsored by the Fed ... Adamant to talk down inflation expectations by saying inflation is under control/not a concern and that wage growth was keeping pace with price rises.
...then in the next breath, one of the panelists said he couldn't afford a house in NYC... Wait....didn't he just say wages were keeping up with inflation?? ...the disconnect. π
The audience questions about inflation were squashed ... didn't fit the narrative of the evening.
My question about the USD/BTC/inflation and dollar reserve status being in question was submitted online and not answered.
The elephant in the room that the panel ignored was that incessant printing of dollars has resulted in real inflation of 10+%
Next year, it would be great to have an Austrian economist and some independent thinking speakers instead of panelists towing their company talking points.
Government statistics are manipulated to present the government narrative... If I weren't on the committee, I wouldn't have spent money to listen to panelists spewing government propaganda.

Very interesting! I hate it when they create an online queue for questions then only answer soft ball ones they preprepared. Cowardly π‘
Welcome Tom! What admirable priorities, it's cool you can provide on passive income. Enjoy your family and doggo! I look forward to seeing the journey you share π₯°
I love to see carbs in a sea of protein pictures π€€ looks delicious!
I got some words in today! It's been like pulling teeth recently. But it's a do or do not thing isn't it? Discipline is the key.
