Here is the original long form article as first reported by AP. This is a long read, so make sure you have the time. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-patrol-surveillance-drivers-ice-trump-9f5d05469ce8c629d6fecf32d32098cd#

This is exactly what a surveillance society leads to: stopping and detaining people just for normal travel, just because the government deems the travel pattern “suspicious“. Apparently this was started under Trump I, continued under Biden, and is still in force today. So we have arrived at the point in which just traveling around and living your life the way you want to is enough to get you stopped, questioned, detained, and who knows what else after that. This is nothing short of horrific.

59-yard FG good. And now for the crushing loss with 28 seconds left. 😏

I was thinking congressional hearings to investigate perfidious maga efforts from inside the house to destroy America, but sure, social media, too.

I would bet most people who truly believe they and they alone are responsible for the success in their lives—no outside aid, no personal help, no nepotism, no family wealth, no lucky breaks, even if they actually did get any or all of these on the way up—are all aboard the MAGA train. I wouldn’t doubt that 80%+ of professional athletes fall into this self-definitional category.

Certainly was live long enough to create hundreds of screenshots to present at the congressional hearings in 2027.

What I’ve learned from this is that the notion of hundreds of Russian nationals at the Internet Research Agency toiling away on fake X accounts in St. Petersburg is almost certainly not accurate, since second world labor demands relatively high second world wages. Instead, the grunt work of creating and maintaining troll social media accounts surely gets farmed out to third world countries for third world wages.

We may or may not be able to time the market, but the time feels right to take some overheated profits from Mag Seven-driven SP 500.

You’re still young enough to do 70/30, at least. I’m around 60/40 equity to fixed and I’m already retired.

The Cyrillic letters were a dead giveaway.

I don‘t know whether it would be so much of a discount this season, since presumably Skubal would be paid much more this year under an extension this winter versus taking the arb award figure. A raise over his arb number this year would probably have to be the sweetener to get him to lock up before he’s an actual free agent, and if I’m not mistaken, that’s not exactly Scott Boras’s jam.

That’s OK, I won’t miss him.

So will continuing to phase out the Avila pickups.

WTAF is going on today

And you'll probably get it if (1) you're not an ass about it and (2) you walk away if you don't get it at first.

feature not bug

And another lot just sold today!

I've been getting more messages from non-Tigers friends suggesting there must be something to the rumors since they keep seeing articles about it.

This is in part why I have cars custom built for me by the factory instead of driving one off the lot. I have no problem waiting a couple months for a car fresh off the boat with the exact specs I want.

I’m out of reactions, unfortunately, but definite Like.

I am out of reactions, unfortunately, but big Like for this one.

Trump’s highlighting how black/Muslim Mamdani’s middle name sounds, in order to to amp up the fear and loathing.

Update: the first three trailing stop limit sells have triggered, and we’re pretty close to the fourth one, which might happen today. I also have a 6% trailing stop sell on VOO that would sell 10% of my position in it. Given how much the mag seven makes up the index, once that bubble bursts, that’s coming down a bunch, too. Might as well clear some profits up here at the top.
