    April’s shitshow has finally concluded, and Gold is not proving to be much of a “recession hedge”; with significant retreat occurring for mining stocks alongside a drop in bullion price.

    That said, it’s certainly not cratering to the extent of many other notable alternatives.

    YTD gain/loss as of 29 APR 2022:

    $GLD: +5.1%

    $GOLD: +20.3%

    $DJIA: -9.9%

    $SPY: -13.8%

    $RUT: -18.0%

    $NDAQ: -22.3%

    $BTC: -18.9%

    $ARKK: -51.4%

    Why did these monthly updates stop?

    In March 2021, a crypto entrepreneur bought an NFT of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first tweet for $2.9 million. Last week he listed it for $48 million, promising to donate half of the proceeds to charity. But when the auction closed yesterday, the top bid was…$277.

     

    This makes no sense. Who would pay $277 for a screenshot of a tweet?

    Probably Brini.

    That's a fucking haul. Even without Brini, it's arguably the best in the country and that's before we add Mathis. Bunch of smart guys on here talking shit and pissing their diapers while crying about the staff over the last hundred pages or so. Pretty funny now.

    Ewers alone makes it the best in the country.

    Oh fuck yeah. In theory I have a couple more hours of work but fuck it, time pour a drink and watch highlight videos.  

    Just look at this shit, play is just silly. Random helmet flies off and hits him, rolls to the left and flicks a dime 55 yards. That's a high school sophomore against the best defense in the state.

    Honestly looks like Pat Mahomes right here, not a HS sophomore.

    FCS All-American Shane Simpson reveals the unique way he decided to commit to Virginia

    Shane Simpson sat in his room Sunday evening 10 minutes prior to announcing his transfer decision, still undecided.

    Simpson, a 2018 FCS All-American running back from Towson, was choosing between Virginia and Texas.

    The NFL hopeful sat down, prayed and asked God for a sign. He then wrote down “UVa” on three pieces of paper and “Texas” on another three pieces of paper. He put them in a hat, closed his eyes and picked the pieces of paper out of the hat.

    “I put my hand in the hat. Literally all three times it was UVa, not once was it Texas,” Simpson said, “so that was my sign.”

    Simpson says he felt a strong connection between both the Texas and Virginia coaching staffs, and if he drew Texas, he would’ve felt comfortable joining the Longhorns. Instead, he’s coming to Charlottesville.

    Yeah that makes sense, and I think it's a good play.  Give the red meat to the people on the internet who want the red meat.  Appeal to the larger group on television who doesn't follow politics by appealing to their better selves.  

    My guess is they spend the summer building up Biden then in the last 2 months unleash a shitstorm of negative Trump ads.

    What's particularly interesting is the tacit acknowledgment by the Biden campaign that it's better to focus on Trump's negatives than Biden's positives.  Look at the air time ratio on one versus the other. 

    It's not that this is hugely novel, rather it speaks to a certain amount of humility within the campaign leadership ("we're going to get a more enthusiastic response shitting on the other guy").  I'm sure it's quite a change from drawing up ads for Obama. 

    I think there's a pivot here I'd be interested in seeing to further demoralize the Trumpists ("you've stuck by Trump out of racial fealty; he's going to lose, there's no hope") that might be possible with some small adjustments. 

    I'm also wondering if it would make sense for Biden to just decline any debates at all.  "The NY Times has already documented 18,000 lies over the last three years.  I'm not interested in enabling a national platform for one more." 

    They have been making these negative ads and showing them online but haven't put a lot of money behind them. It is interesting that now they have some real funds and are going on the air in a big way the ad they are showing is just pro-Biden and not anti-Trump.

    Biden opens 9-point lead over Trump in Senate battlegrounds: poll

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/496793-biden-opens-nine-point-lead-over-trump-in-senate-battlegrounds-poll

    "

    Former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a 9-point lead over President Trump in six states where Republican senators face difficult reelection battles this fall, according to a new poll.

    The survey from Hart Research Associates finds Biden at 50 percent and Trump at 41 percent among voters sampled in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Montana and North Carolina.

    Trump won four of those states in 2016, with the exception of Maine and Colorado. All six states feature vulnerable GOP incumbents: Sens. Marth McSally (Ariz.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Susan Collins (Maine), Steve Daines (Mont.) and Thom Tillis (N.C.)."
