Went to the Leafs game tonight. Woof. They were uninspiring, to put it gently.

It rightfully belongs to me, Tim. It's treason to think otherwise. I won't be answering any questions.

What’s the closest you ever got to a “Nazi phase”?

Mine was my “Nietzsche is great, besides, he hated Christians, not Jews” moment in college

Either that or my Nation of Islam/Malcolm X fascination. Either way, specifically anti-Nazi!

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

He was. He was also in Dallas Buyers Club. He was also in Fight Club and American Psycho. Let’s separate the art from the artist maybe. He clearly can’t carry a movie and he’s a dipshit but he’s not a wholly awful performer.

Okay, maybe instead of asking "Did the Auston Matthews jersey curse Vlad?" we should be asking "Is Vlad Jr. powerful enough to break the Leafs curse?"

Under fire and unrepentant, Labour Minister David Piccini says he will keep handing out cash from Premier Doug Ford's controversial Skills Development Fund to preferred groups regardless of how low their applications score.

It’s absolutely clear that Vladdy is about vibes and confidence and he doesn’t care about history and other bullshit. This is a good omen.

A wild choice from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as he arrives at the Rogers Centre in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.

Clearly some thinking behind it — but not exactly the Game 7 history you want to be replicating tonight.

Just four hours away now.

Ehhh Dylan's still alive and the Dylan movie work. My kid wants to see the Springsteen movie. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not debating with you on this. I'm concerned that your statement about "everyone with a 401k." That's a gross generalization.

Morgan Ballin’ @mrbutterchicken.bsky.social · 1d

So being a bagholder is not fine?

Morgan Ballin’ @mrbutterchicken.bsky.social · 1d

Well, no. If you actually have to retire and are being forced to draw down on your 401K because it's your only source of income, it's a pretty shitty thing to have happen.

George Pearkes @peark.es · 1d

Something I hope everyone with a 401k reading this learns: being a bag holder for 13 years and 4 months is totally fine. Seriously. It's not a problem. Your most powerful source of returns as an individual investors is patience and just not worrying about being in a drawdown for a while.

It's why the Subway v-cut was the greatest innovation in recent sandwich history. The only way shit is escaping is from the ends. Brilliance. Sheer brilliance.
