@JesseBWatters If this is real, and aliens ask us to ‘take me to your leader’ who in the hell are we taking them to? The president? A scientist?

Potential missed penalty in the Sabres / Canadiens game results in Sabres goal, they go up 5-3. This is a shootout!

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

Jack Quinn scores for the Sabres to give them the lead 4-3. His 1st career playoff goal!

Aroldis Chapman walks two players without a strike thrown, then saves the game for the Red Sox, what a turn of events and incredible win. #redsox

Starting to wonder why the Lakers chose Ayton over Hayes…

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

Huge respect to the Lakers fans in this game, they are really bringing it even being down 3-0 in the series. 🤞

I know I’m beating a dead horse here but my GOODNESS do the refs have so much power in these NBA playoffs… every possession seems like there’s a whistle.

Announcers just said Marcus Smart has a championship with the Celtics… last time I checked that was untrue…🤧

Karl-Anthony Towns is picking the 76ers apart. Great three, great post work, great pass. He’s doing it all and with the 6ers bigs in foul trouble the Knicks might run away with this game.

Celtics this week:

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

Sam Hauser just single handedly ruined any chance the Celtics had. Terrible fumble on the catch and then proceeds to pull a deep three when he’s already not shooting well.

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

If Celtics win, gotta give props to the bigs: Al Queta and Garza Strip

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

Celtics and Sixers essentially just traded bad challenge for bad challenge. Coaching errors on both ends.

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

Fire that dude on the Celtics bench who said to challenge

This is almost a similar effect we saw with the ‘5 day work week’ model we know today.

At a basic level:

Working = Income to buy products, BUT
Working ≠ Time to buy products.

Today we are seeing the other side of the equation.

Not working = Time to buy products, BUT
Not working ≠ Income to buy products

I analyzed 15 months of Trump approval ratings, S&P 500 data, and 29 major political events since inauguration day.

Here's what the data actually shows 🧵

[Evan Bourgoine @evnbgn]

TL;DR:
- Markets and approval are correlated long-term but causally independent week-to-week
- Trade policy was the dominant driver of both series
- Approval losses are permanent. Market losses are not. - DOGE dominated headlines. Moved neither markets nor opinion.
- Oil prices, despite doubling, didn't independently affect approval
