There is tremendous power and integrity in understanding how much there is to lose, and, with the platform and capacity you have, voicing strong dissent.

Haven’t decided if I’ll put any decorations up this year since I’ll be away for Christmas (and am away some of this week) but I have trees rather than A tree.

This is the thing about the mushy middle I think. They want to align with success. So momentum and looking winner-ish and decisive are extremely important.

People in the so called middle want to be on the winning team and then tend to vote for people that appear to be winning so BUZZ and VIBES are actually very real things. Note Labour can be buzzkills when it comes to greens/TPM but people know they can’t do it some without them (except 2020).

Pretty much everyone who is serious has admitted that it’s going to burst, it’s just a question of when.
One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

A reminder that under the Roman Solar Calendar, Summer does not begin until December 22 and runs until March 21
So we are still in Spring and Shitsville and the chart is right there
Anyone who says it is Summer because it is December 1 is basically wrong

See? Summer is mid-January through to mid-March! Right through the work/school attendance between Christmas holidays and Easter holidays.
