The cogs move around in my head on occasion.

Nobody asked but I hit the 401k contribution cap this year 😤

The fact that I am trapped inside this office working instead of trapped inside my room playing ARC Raiders is a tragedy

I had very low expectations for The Paper but it's so damn good

It's amazing that I can trace a good chunk of my music taste back to one source: Guitar Hero World Tour

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

The replies make me fucking sad

It takes 10+ hours to get between Dallas and San Antonio via train.

AI was supposed to be about developing intelligence, instead they're spending tens of billions of dollars to make it churn out cat videos so we're more dumbed down by social media.

What an insane waste of resources, in all respects.

I disliked celebrating my birthday growing up. I dislike celebrating my birthday as an adult. It feels like work, man

Those old people were right about Luby's

You're mad at your bad day, not just the unpleasant interaction you had with someone else having a bad day :)

Over the last few weeks it has become apparent that Wall Street & US politicians were getting tariff news before the rest of the market.

FOX news confirmed this saying WallStreet was getting updates on tariff deals.

And now NY AG Letitia James is reportedly hunting for insider trading among politicians.

People are making millions off the chaos.

Here's a breakdown of some of the unusual trades:

Gonna rewatch Tron Legacy for the amazing soundtrack

All you could hear during the quiet parts of Pride and Prejudice was LOUD ASS Sinners in the theater next door. It was fun trying to figure out what part they were on

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

You can see all volume was literally opened TODAY!!!!!!!!!! (That little green arrow). You can see all volume is new opening volume (not only on the Zero days, but also on the weekly $QQQ and $TQQQ calls). This is especially odd given IVR on these was around 82 this morning, with IV through the roof. The traders really wanted to trade directionally...

In fact, using Unusual Whales' net premium, you can see people have been loading calls trading for a reversal, following these opening calls. Very clear example here.

Insane, someone knew.

[Matthew @Castillooooo_]

I was pissed off saying this all yesterday

[Acyn @Acyn]

Sanders: Would I be surprised if there are were people who, hours before knew exactly what Trump was going to do in rescinding his tariff proposals, understanding that the stock market would soar and you make huge amounts of money… No, I would not

[Matthew @Castillooooo_]

Good will hunting is such a timeless film
