Reminder for all the dreamers out there that the only thing standing between you and failing a 6th-grade math test is a brain worm, some methylene blue, and the severed penis of a deceased raccoon. RFK is like a walking witches brew for becoming stupid.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"

Trump: "Right"

Might just be me but I don’t know if I want to take aesthetic direction from a guy who thinks gold toilets are in and paved over the Rose Garden to put up tacky bistro tables. I dunno…

Today President Trump issued a momentous new Executive Order “Making Federal Architecture Great Again." The directive states that there must be a preference for classical and traditional architecture when the government is choosing designs for federal buildings. The Order is strongest regarding Washington, D.C., requiring that new federal buildings there be classical.

The EO also amends the 1962 Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, which de facto made Modernism official.

To quote The New York Times:

The new guidelines will affect several federal projects, according to Justin Shubow, president of @civicartsociety, a nonprofit that helped draft the executive order...

“For too long, federal architecture has been in a dismal state,” Shubow said in a statement that refers to Mr. Trump. “Recognizing the public’s disdain of our more recent government buildings, he is ensuring that new edifices will be beautiful, dignified, and admired by the common person. Federal buildings will be once again noble symbols of our democracy.”

I’m like four seconds away from showing strangers unsolicited pictures of my Dune: Awakening base build like I just had a kid. At least half of my time played dedicated entirely to an aspirational abode.

Wow they’ll make a cardinal the Pope while Big Bird is unemployed. Kind of rubbing it in don’t you think.

We have been heads down working hard on Yotei. Happy Wednesday. See you on October 2nd.

Not gonna lie it’s kind of validating when A.I. Porn bots like random Twitter replies from four years ago.
… like yeah obviously that was a banger finally someone recognizes it.

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.

This from the guy who *WANTS* you to save his business from 300k of debt by pushing strawberries and cream flavored coffee at you because it’s patriotic, or something. Weirdos.

We desperately need to normalize walking to the grocery store.

DoorDash partnered with Klarna to allow U.S. customers to split purchases into 4 equal payments

Customers can also postpone payments to match their payday schedule

With the industry in a slump and money even harder to come by we wondered if we could help, in our small but unique way, by offering our services to those in need for FREE!

Petulant domestic terrorist Elon Musk has gained access to US PSN servers with the help of a small child and is taking them offline until the gaming community collectively names him the awesomest PoE2 player.

Burnout happens when there is no progress. Burnout also happens when you have no visibility into how dots will connect in the future. Burnout is about not being able to close the loop after putting a ton of effort and not seeing enough results.
