I live all over, but Texas and SF feel like home. Sometimes DC. My superpower is I see so many awesome people, and I do my best to call them out. Mr. Rogers is my hero. And Ted Lasso.
I also like programming, using AI for good, and macroeconomics. He/him

Agreed. $40 oil. Maybe less.
And a whole lot of deleveraging.

I hated Schumer for it, but choosing to do the shutdown now and not earlier was probably the right call. Still hated him for it. But I think he was right.

I also want to read as many books as I can on how Pelosi wielded power. She was a wizard so many times.

I think this is a good take.
The one thing that has been the case with Schumer or Pelosi... they are smart.
Yes, I've wanted different leadership, but I recognize how they always took the heat, defended weak parts of the caucus, and could be quite crafty.
Still, Schumer is out of touch now.

I don't know what I'd do without Onion headlines right now.
There's well over 10,000 words of good content that could be written on this headline alone. It's that dense with meaning and gallows humor.

Careful shorting the hole. The BTFD beast is going to make this bumpy all the way down... possibly for awhile.
And I recommend just sitting on cash. Puts can turn into gambling faster than you can imagine.

2016 had the amazing deep learning innovations. And there's still more to do.
Crypto though, that's just a public, very slow, hard to corrupt database. Its uses are far more limited. There's your over-hype.

I'm liking the way you think. Totally cribbing, "If it feels icky, it's just icky."
Going to put that right next to "Don't make me think" on the design shelf.
