Yes, I'm that one.
Just a former evil banker with a twisted sense of humor who has a secret identity as a normal person.

I’m a teacher’s kid and honestly when I learned what three-cueing is 45 minutes ago I felt the deepest sorrow for humanity yet
we are super duper cooked
we are super duper cooked
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Dear Digital Publishers. Please give your subscribers the option to turn off all the unnecessary AI garbage and text scrolling on your web sites. I don't want to use or see any of that. I only want to see the list of articles. I'm not going to call out publications just yet. They know who they are.

The Weather App says the temperature is 40ºF but 'feels like 19ºF' because of the 37 mph winds. LOL now **that** is wind chill for sure.

All these new voters will be coming after Chuck Schumer and the Caving 8.

“.. The turnout rate of voters age 18 to 29 rose to 41.3 percent this year from 11.1 percent in .. 2021 ..”

There’s another wave of author impersonators offering consultations/mentoring for a price. (I got one from “Claire Keegan” telling me I’m very promising!) I’m sure you are great, but I didn’t email to tell you how swell you are. Here’s info on book scams: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/prh-fraud/

For @thenation.com and @typeinvestigations.org, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average.
I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10)

The Eviction Kings
One of Israel’s biggest companies is taking over huge swaths of US real estate—and tenants are paying the price.

Sorry everyone. I was not planning to rant tonight but I keep seeing the bullshit of a 50 year mortgage and I feel compelled to point out just how much that bullshit will cost people.

INGRAHAM: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?
TRUMP: It's not even a big deal. You go from 40 to 50 years. All it means is you pay less per month
