She was special.

[Jimmy Failla @jimmyfailla]

Dolly was the most undeniably likable person who ever lived. Sad to hear the world has lost an ICON and I've lost a fashion inspiration. NOBODY was in her class.

[J.T. Ansel @jtansel]

Heaven is little brighter today. RIP Dolly.

We’ve lost Dolly. She was a national treasure. Heaven got a little brighter today.

Ignore Bessent at Your Peril

Machiavelli’s central lesson of statecraft was simple: dangers seen from afar can be managed; dangers ignored until they are obvious become unmanageable.
Wall Street should apply that rule to Scott Bessent. Ignore him at your peril.

The bond market is still treating Washington’s new posture as a technical adjustment. It is not. It is a regime change. Bessent is not merely managing the Treasury market; he is beginning to set the rules of the global digital financial system.
The forcing function is debt. With US interest costs rising alongside structural deficits, the long end of the Treasury curve can no longer be left entirely to the Federal Reserve. Funding costs are now a question of fiscal capacity, geopolitical power and financial stability.

Bessent has made the direction explicit: the administration will do what it takes to lower yields. Treasury’s decision to double buybacks to $4B per operation from September 9 through November 4 is nominally a liquidity measure. Yet its promise of further detail on futures buybacks on November 4 matters more. It suggests that Treasury’s market-management toolkit is widening.

The yen intervention was the appetizer. It demonstrated that currencies, liquidity and market structure are now instruments of strategy. The next phase is more consequential: active management of the Treasury curve while constructing the rails for a dollar-centred digital financial order.

That is where the Genius Act fits. Properly understood, it is not simply crypto regulation. It is an attempt to bring dollar stablecoins, reserve standards and digital-payment infrastructure within an American legal and financial perimeter. Stablecoins backed by short-duration Treasuries transform global demand for digital dollars into demand for US government debt. They extend dollar distribution beyond banks, correspondent networks and the legacy payments system.

Bitcoin is the complementary signal. It is a coiled spring because it captures two trades at once: demand for scarce, non-sovereign money, and anticipation of a much larger regulated digital-dollar ecosystem. Washington can regulate the perimeter of crypto, but it cannot manufacture Bitcoin’s scarcity.

This is fiscal dominance with a digital dimension. Treasury increasingly sets the incentives; the Federal Reserve reacts within constraints shaped by debt service, market functioning and dollar strategy.
Wall Street keeps parsing buybacks, currency intervention, stablecoin legislation and Bitcoin as unrelated events. They are not. Debt is the constraint. Yield management is the response. Digital dollars are the distribution channel.

And Bessent is defining the rules.

[Bowling Green State University @bgsu]

With a record-breaking 600 members for the 2026-27 season, Bowling Green State University is proud to share that the #BGSU Falcon Marching Band is officially America’s largest college marching band.

Under the leadership of Director of Marching and Athletic Bands Jon Waters, the band has earned invitations to prestigious events nationally and internationally, including the iconic St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland, and the upcoming 2027 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. More than 80% of the band’s members remain non-music majors, reflecting strong enthusiasm for the Falcon Marching Band across the University and the value students place on extracurricular involvement as part of their college experience.

American education now costs $250,000 for K–12, followed by $150,000 for college.

That’s $400,000 to produce an adult who can’t read but knows Communism will work this time.

Everyone close to the sport knew how bad this was and how deep it ran. There was never a doubt. The players were/are getting mocked in NFL locker rooms if they made it there. Coaches have been banned/blacklisted or fled to NFL. Now that the administration & leadership knew & actively hid it…..what a shit show. I said when this was happening, this would end up ruining careers, now we’re there. Santa Ono & Manuel won’t ever work again.
The majority of the staff are selling used cars. This will be Harbaugh’s last job. All for a few wins that no one will count anyway.

Sad
