@graciemanelafr8 @MiTreasury @CityofDetroit Oh man. I received mine in Oct (!!!) that year.

My fav was when Detroit sent me a mean letter saying I hadn’t paid city taxes. I had clear evidence I did but it still took me ~5 hours of time to resolve that. They did the same thing to the Red Wings that year, too. 🤦‍♂️

@MiTreasury When will @CityofDetroit income tax refunds be issued? (Filed 3+ months ago and still waiting.)

[Chris Stallman @ctstallman]

@FreightAlley Congrats @JPHampstead -- a real FreightWaves OG! Your insights will be missed (but also put to good use in this new role). Cheers.

@TurnerNovak In binary, 11 is 3. Sorry...still an EM

[Chris Stallman @ctstallman]

@TurnerNovak He got ragged on for being “old” and getting paid but what a great success story: kicked off the HS team for bad grades, hustled to find a JUCO program, then UAB, then UM. Always thanks his teammates, coaches, and fans in every interview. Now a national champ. Go blue! 〽️

Love this video but the crowd pop was even more pronounced in-person. From the quietest to loudest moment of the night in the span of 2 seconds. Incredible moment to see live. 〽️

The Trey McKenney dagger. The crowd pop at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Here’s the shot that won Michigan men’s basketball the national championship:

@TheFundCFO Good post. One small nuance is that even European waterfalls often permit earlier tax distributions to the GP (subject to clawback), so that the GP isn't left unable to pay imputed tax on carry they haven't actually received yet.

@BadSportsRefs Yet they call these in my 9yo son's rec league 🤦‍♂️

@jasonlk Guessing you wound up in common in the acquirer (behind a bunch of pfd) and he aggressively marked to the PPS on the last-round pfd (or somewhat close to it)?

@DeveloperHarris Fun fact: the painting directly across from the Mona Lisa is Les Noces de Cana (“The Wedding at Cana”), depicting the event from which my wife is named.

@JJWatt My son dressed as Nerds Gummy Clusters (why not, right?!). Every time he got some tonight, I said “that’s cannibalism!” #dadjoke

@aphysicist Bad day to be a fan of deindustrialization 😂

[Chris Stallman @ctstallman]

@aphysicist Have had this tweet in my bookmarks for 5+ months for a reason https://t.co/gd2Ybav7lM

@itsAntWright These deals tend to feel too cheap halfway through. This one has the distinct characteristic of feeling too cheap *now*

@sbell021 Put that into short-term treasuries, and that's about 10 days' worth of interest

@hrosenblume Good work, Hunter! 💪

@DE_Gifford I live in the Detroit area. There’s a light in front of the local elementary school that cars literally run on red every single time it changes. Police are posted 0.1 mile away every morning looking for speeders but I’ve never seen a red light runner ticketed. Not once. 🤦‍♂️

[Chris Stallman @ctstallman]

Detroiters care deeply about reindustrialization, and it’s inspiring to see that movement spread thanks to the team at @reindsummit
