Don’t want to be an American idiot.

@as_a_worker @kenklippenstein The most important thing that gets ignored in the mainstream “cancel” discourse is power relationships.

If a bunch of random people think your takes suck, you aren’t getting canceled.

If a major news outlet or company uses their status & power to censor, it’s canceling.

@0xuberM The classic thing they always say about financial markets is everyone is friends and no one is competing against each other

@EvanHAbrams @ActionNetworkHQ Best mega-square hit since the national tight end day parlay

@DeepDishEnjoyer Not that any word really retains specific meaning anymore in American public life, but “communist” *really* doesn’t mean anything

@FIFABrit @FIFABrit do you know any us book that offers team shot unders?

@0xuberM Gambling except without potential of short term 10xing

@_JoshSchafer @AnthonyDabbundo I got a copy of the GS report in 2014 and recall it giving Brazil a >50% chance of winning (which is way-too-high a number for any team in any tournament, really).

Haven’t see it since then, but curious if it’s ever been contrarian.

@0xuberM Late on Gobby but we’re 🔐 now

@0xuberM Moo grew the GDP of Thailand by a 1% in 2024 no cap

@0xuberM Ya Moo Deng and Zerebro

@0xuberM Crazy you’ll just be out with your moms and suddenly it’s The Great Lock In

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@0xuberM No. The PO stands for Private Offloading

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@FIFABrit It’s not good for the players. The minute load some players are getting is absurd (see, Yamal) and it’s leading to injuries given the intensity of the modern game.

Majority of the clubs in CL have big squads, they should use them.

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@FIFABrit The PSG situation is obviously extreme and unrealistic for teams in T4 leagues, but I do hope that the culture changes in the PL and elsewhere that load management is important and fan/pundits should be more okay with top players maxing out at ~75% of possible mins

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@CertifiedOkie @ettingermentum He’s 100% playing a character — which raises an interesting question of if it is more insulting as a Malaysian to have someone who genuinely believes this stuff as the ambassador nom, or a person doing a WWE style character as the ambassador nom

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@Pat_Thorman Yeah this ^ As a drafting RBs early hater, I was for a moment entertaining the idea of “maybe since RBs enter the league at closest to their peak, they can provide strong rookie contract excess value” but even that argument goes away when Barkley is $36m guaranteed / $20m AAV

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@billbarnwell @DanPizzuta Trying to make sense of the intuitive weirdness (and uniqueness in the NFL vs. other leagues) of a David Edwards being lucky to get 3 year guarantee, signing a good young player in Phillips being more likely than not -EV, and solid starters being worth often just day 3 picks

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@billbarnwell @DanPizzuta @billbarnwell listening to this it struck me that a multi-year starter-level contract is inherently -EV: Play well, meet EV; get hurt (or bad) WAY underperform EV; level up (which is rare for vets making good $) and you probably restructure for more $, erasing the +EV. This fair?

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@DeepDishEnjoyer I’m just being salty about my bad execution cutting into amount I should be making based on how right I am

[Giles Corey @GilesCorey_13]

@DeepDishEnjoyer We might need to just start with straddling. I’m not sure which way each day will move but it definitely seems like the market is moving +\- 1% or more a fkn lot
