  1. Past hour
  2. the only way to guarantee the market doesn't wake up to reality is to bet that it WILL wake up to reality. Once you run out of money paying premiums, then it'll wake up
  3. He reminds me of Craig Biggio
  4. I generally hate off days but you couldn't script a better off day than yesterday.
  5. Despite this noise, the last report showed a 2.7% increase year-over-year. Maybe that is understated due to what you shared, but if it ticks up again next month, I think the market is finally going to start waking up to reality. Then again, I don't know shit.
  6. Some Americans would rather build tunnels for more cars than build a rail line or create better bus infrastructure
  7. Sorry. Just a little tired of seeing chief executives get away with lying to the public and us all dangerously sweeping it all under the rug in the name of unity. We're all hearing so many lies, we're collectively losing the ability to recognize the truth.
  8. Air quality index hit 184 where I am yesterday -- had to stay inside and read Surly. Watched the video of Jaggy McJacksonJr's sick catch. Looked at the AQI and noticed it had gone down. Rewatched the video. Noticed the AQI had dropped again. Watched it a couple more times and AQI went all the way down to 121. Got skeered the air might improve so much we'd all get oxygen poisoning, so I quickly closed Surly and went upstairs to hide under the bed.
  9. Apparently Nevada, although to a lesser degree Clark County, is having a tourism problem this year. And despite what the article said, it certainly didn't seem to reflect in a lower cost for my hotel in The Aria that I booked for October. Anyone else seeing anything? Any high-end values that might be cheaper than previous? https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/despite-strong-june-nevada-gaming-win-numbers-fail-to-break-record-3407733/
  10. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/indian-state-refiners-pause-russian-oil-purchases-sources-say-2025-07-31/ Indian refiners stop buying Russian crude. That's gonna hurt.
  11. I think tearing out the rose garden, paving it over, and replacing it with a $200,000,000 gilded ballroom is a much more effective and thoughtful "fuck you, you fucking motherfuckers" than renaming the Kenedy center, imo
  12. Bingo. Should there be another non-MAGA elected president, he/she should bulldoze on day one and replant the rose garden. Name it as memorial to Virginia Louise Giuffre. Make this his official portrait:
  13. "IF" tariffs take effect, amirite incredulity?
  14. This point and post are very, very important. Because that is absolutely where we are: lies are displays of absolute power. They are not told to create an alternate truth, they are told because fuck you what are you gonna do about it?
  15. Much respect to Falvey for shooting straight. That's too rare in this game.
  16. Dial it down? I'm pretty sure they turn it up. Just think about his medical at the start of season 3.
  17. birthright citizenship is officially on the chopping block. The President of the United States is using the same mechanism used to pass slave status across generations, only applied to immigration status. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/07/trump-birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-ice-maternity-ward.html To that end, USCIS declared flatly that the children of immigrants who are “unlawfully present” will “no longer be U.S. citizens at birth.” They will, instead, inherit the status of their parents, rendering them detainable and deportable as infants and throughout their lives. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth. ... The next section of the memo explains how the administration plans to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who have “lawful but temporary” presence here. Trump’s order itself clarifies that kids whose parents have “a student, work, or tourist visa” would no longer be eligible for citizenship. But USCIS went much further, laying out a dozen other categories of immigrants whose offspring would be ensnared by the policy—even though their parents reside in the country legally. Its list includes immigrants who have received “withholding of removal” under the Convention Against Torture, immigrants granted Temporary Protected Status, and Dreamers protected by DACA. The agency left no stone unturned: It even declared that children of Micronesian parents fall under the order, even though Micronesians have every right to live and work in the U.S. under a 1986 treaty. (That treaty constituted a small reparation after the U.S. tested atomic weapons on Micronesia for more than a decade.) How will the federal government know whether a baby’s parents have “lawful but temporary” status, rendering the child ineligible for citizenship? USCIS does not say, but there is only one possibility: The government will begin to demand to see every parent’s legal status before acknowledging their child as a U.S. citizen. Only babies with at least one parent who is a citizen or green-card holder will be recognized as American. All others will be excluded at birth.
  18. Paredes to 1B?

  20. I’m thinking about Tony Dogs in Casino.
