Consensus expects 12% year/year EPS growth for the S&P 500 this quarter, the strongest expectation heading into a quarter since 2021.

"Just making you aware that US President Trump has begun posting" goes out over the BBG macro squawk and with that the madness kicks off for another day.

So I did the layout for this 200-page #RuneQuest scenario set in Apple Lane during the big summer festival organised by the local temple of Uleria, Goddess of Love, and now the rest of you get to see what I’ve been secretly smiling about for the last year or so.

I would have guess that HUNGARY would be the leading country here.

lordy capex alone is 2% of GDP

This. I wrote about how Michael Phelps's sport-advantageous physique is celebrated, while that of Black and brown athletes - especially if they are women - is often pathologized in the Performance chapter of HUMANS: A Monstrous History (link in bio).

But who's next on the monstrification list?

I noted the day of the SCOTUS decision that JB Pritzker IMMEDIATELY moved to make this point, by demanding a refund for IL. And State refunds may be the best way to politicize how Trump created the worst of all worlds. But Elizabeth Warren is, predictably, focused on it as well.

Personally I find it hard to believe that this guy is often drunk on the job. Please double check your sources

Very cool.

This reads like a parody, but nope it's a real LinkedIn post

Stark rain shadows in the Bay Area today. Berkeley (1.24”) and Concord (0.03”) are only separated by 20 miles, yet massive differences in precip. Santa Cruz Mountains 2” while San Jose just 10% of that.

Hills squeeze out moisture on the windward side and cause a drying effect on the leeward side.

I'm sorry Dave, I really need you to agree to these new terms and conditions.

Oswald was in fact a lone gunman who pulled it off, and the federal LE/IC apparatus got so freaked at the fact that *any whacko with a Carcano could just fucking DO that* that they wink-and-nudged at conspiracists for years to discourage copycats as well as obfuscating how easy it was for a rando.

Welp, can't say I didn't see it coming, they cut down everyone's salaries about a month ago due to limited runway, but the company I was working for laid me off.

Need full time TypeScript and/or Solidity work ASAP

I want lighter and cheaper fast charging batteries at ~300 mi range…

yeah ok fair.

i think it’s plausible that we have valid legend-memories of other hominids (eg Denisovans in SE Asia).

ok but I think there’s a lot of room between 3 point on a spectrum

1. Israel holds to maximalist positions

2. Israel actually negotiated

3. Israel is broken

maybe. obviously no one’s every agreed on a two-state proposal so hard to say what form a negotiated one would really take.

The Alameda County Assessor released their annual report. This is the punch line (ignore the screwed up column names, I guess).

Berkeley was up 4.5% to $32 billion, just ahead of the average city pace.

I signed up at the last minute and glad I did! played Vaesen for the first time.

Really only issue was that it turns out I’m really rusty with Roll 20. “Ok everyone open your character sheets”. Uhh, where?

The Onion Signs New Deal to Take Over Infowars A new deal, which would allow The Onion to use the Infowars name and website address, must be approved by a Texas judge.

The Onion has to convert Infowars into a parody of itself: licensing the website from the site's court-appointed manager. Here's how it would work, and what would need to happen for it to become reality. nyti.ms/425AbUV

Israeli Soldier in Lebanon Sledgehammered a Statue of Jesus

It’s like somebody challenged Israel to get down to the lowest possible level of support among Americans and they’re just dispatching one demographic after another.

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

Mill Valley homeowner opposes a new basketball court in a way that make it very clear who he pictures using it.
