Beautiful, emotionally moving photo on front page of @nytimes today. Painterly look & feel to it, reminiscent of some
of the “Lamentations Over The Dead Christ” paintings. Must see in the “paper” paper. Digital version on NYT’s app doesn’t come close to doing it justice.

Thank god, @dogbitesmannes!

Anyone grappling with the question of how much one can withdraw from retirement savings without taking too big a risk of running out of money should read this article by @davidmblanchett, @FinkeonFinance & @WadePfau. It’s informative, and humorous to boot. https://t.co/ACTuIZKUSY

And, if so, should Barbie choose the joint-and-survivor option for Ken?

Love the kicker: “Beware geeks bearing grifts.”

AI Is the Technocratic Elite’s New Excuse for a Power Grab.

Funny how the ‘existential’ threats always justify the same solutions: more control and bureaucracy.

.@Starbucks: Your fancy new Clover Vertica single-cup brewer may “reimagine the brewed coffee experience,” but not for the better. The coffee simply isn’t as rich & full-bodied as batch-brewed. If you really care about quality & customer experience, don’t eliminate batch brewing.

@dogbitesmannes Better follow up, George. Those Required Minimal Ditributions can be triky.

“According to a Morning Consult poll, 65% of Americans don’t want Mr. Biden to run again, and 65% say the same of Mr. Trump.”

Very cool. And just FYI, 2,400 nautical miles equals roughly 2,762 land miles or 4,445 kilometers, about the driving distance from NYC to LA.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

This group of women broke a world record by rowing 2,400+ nautical miles across the Pacific — and their journey was followed by thousands online 🚣‍♀️

[walterupdegrave @RealDealRetire]

Actually, not going through the entire pack shows admirable discipline, especially if they’re dark chocolate McVitie’s.

[walterupdegrave @RealDealRetire]

I know the feeling.

…And @steve_hanke & John Greenwood have just lobbed the next salvo in the Great Money Supply-Inflation Debate. [https://t.co/af7bQuyqlE]. Maybe this contentious issue needs to be settled once and for all by an Economists Steel Cage Match.

[walterupdegrave @RealDealRetire]

Hoo boy! The debate over whether there’s a causal link between M2 growth & inflation is heating up. Can’t wait to see the next salvo. https://t.co/bddBiEDbCR

Who says Latin is a dead language?The @WSJ decided to do the Market Talk section of its daily newsletter in Latin today. Perhaps a veiled hint of what to expect in the market today? “The pain itself…”

⁦@ktbenner⁩ ⁦@GlennThrush⁩ Delia’s Gun Shop is located on Torresdale Avenue, but it is not in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia (which is much farther north). It is in the Wissinoming neighborhood. https://t.co/rtpGorhNWU
