Really disappointed in @LouisVuitton. Tried to change my delivery address since nobody will be at the current address to receive it, but you guys wont let me change the delivery address. Very poor experience.

2/2 but that’s where respect is found. Where there is unanimous agreement, there is the soothing of the ego disguised as respect and its outcome dependent, and any respect there is blurred by ego emotion. Well done, Elon

[swooon @swooon]

I am blown away by the relentless pursuit of truth from @elonmusk. Most people say they want the truth, but none travel 6k miles into a war zone to find it. I cannot express the level of respect I have for this dude. I disagree with him, at times 1/2

Hi Ilya

I'm a diaspora Palestinian.

I have been screaming NOT IN MY NAME since October 7

Hamas does not represent me or stand for me.

I stand with my Israeli brothers and sisters

Procrastination is a silent message from our brains that:

1. We don't have enough clarity to complete a task
2. It just doesn't serve a deep enough purpose

@kgreifeld @kgreifeld can you share the math behind this? Like, what’s the reason for the above? Assuming it’s because short rates are so high+such a large coupon to reinvest at higher rates offsets the decline in MV?

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

No one supported Al Qaeda on 9/11.

No one supported ISIS when it attacked Paris.

Why does @DemSocialists support Hamas when it murders Israeli civilians?

Why do people only excuse terror when it targets Israel?

[Nathan FOIA Tankus @NathanTankus]

Let me be crystal clear- as a jewish grandchild of holocaust survivors I am always on the side of the people imprisoned in Ghettos and not on the incredibly armed and modern army who serves as their jailers. You're not going to be able to bully me into another opinion.

[Yasmine Mohammed 🦋 ياسمين محمد @YasMohammedxx]

Too many people on this stupid app can’t tell the difference between innocent Palestinian people and terrorists like Hamas. Stop conflating the two. You’re not helping. I have family in Gaza. They hate Hamas. They are not torturing women and parading their dead bodies around. The people doing that are not “innocent Palestinians” They are evil and monstrous terrorists. This should not be difficult.

He should probably geek out on his grammar a bit before geeking out on “monetary policy” ( I wouldn’t trust him on the Fed’s origin if I can’t trust him to differentiate between “there” and “their”).

@matt_levine Firstly, thank you for the unparalleled brilliance you share with us. Secondly, I know you probably get asked this a lot, but I’m going to ask anyways: are there any non-fiction books you’d recommend, can be econ/finance or other NF topics you enjoyed reading about

[swooon @swooon]

Any finance/economics folks interested in a meetup next week in NYC area?

[swooon @swooon]

And now @AmericanAir is dragging their feet on giving me a refund. These people are HORRIBLE

[swooon @swooon]

How is it legal for@AmericanAirand@Expedia to flash a price for a flight and the second I click on the flight DOUBLE IT. I have been going through this, each time clearing my cookies, for an hour.

[swooon @swooon]

Can anybody explain why the 1M term SOFR on any given day shows a rate on the @NewYorkFed website that is different from that of the @CMEGroup website dat? Thanks for your help in advance

I have no clue what this is all about but he did say 20-26% IRR which is not a return at all, it’s the rate of return required to zero out NPV. That’s not an investment return like ROI

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

In a 2020 clip, Santos said he managed $1.5 billion for Harbor City Capital w/returns rate for investors of 12%-26%. https://t.co/imrn4chDbU
