UPDATE ON MY HEALTH: I have not recovered from my Covid and mono flare. I'm still in a Lupus flare. I saw my primary doctor last week & had a full physical (14 vials of blood). My body is weak and I have to sort what I expend my energy on. I will NEVER GIVE UP. Please keep fighting & don't give up.🙏

I've said this over and over, but someone needs to hear this, right now:

Virtually all of the best things in my life were things I had absolutely no way of predicting, even a few months ahead of time.

We have no real way of imagining our future, and yet despair is always based on that imagination.

I'm working on earnings stuff for the next episode of @virtualeconcast.com and I feel the deep urge to remind you that when a large corporation cites "market conditions" for their "necessary" layoffs, they aren't telling the whole truth.

Pretty cool: sustained & safe antidepressant effects of nitrous oxide for depression.

The genius of American capitalism at work. Invest in Big Oil's climate disaster machine, then hedge the profits into industries providing recovery from climate-induced weather disasters. It's a win-win!
Companies in the business of preparing or recovering from natural disasters are outperforming the S&P 500.

Imagine a world in which the hottest tech stocks are those of companies whose products do not work.

Re: @ncdemocrats.bsky.social in 2010.

This is when I get the Bat Signal out for @eqvanalytics.bsky.social to mention that the NC Dems sleepwalked through 2010 in complete denial of their imminent collapse and the media then downplayed everything.

This isn't just voters.

This isn't incompetence or stupidity. it's pure evil. They seek a return to the Dark Ages, when fear, ignorance, and illness kept the peasants enslaved. They perceive science as their enemy.

If Peter Thiel's Christian I'm a Martian.

He's just the latest of history's paranoid strongmen to co-opt religion to cast opposition to him as "the work of Satan" in order to move the peons (today, MAGA Christians) to fight to the death for his self-interests and against their own.
