Gotta admit the Biden bull market in the S&P 500, having started in October of 2023 and built on the post-pandemic stimulus, has had a damn good run, despite the impediments thrown at it in the last year. It does seem to be flattening a bit recently, but it's not dead yet.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

This is a must-read account of a year-old story I was totally unaware of. Can’t blame me, given all the shit that has come down the pike in that timeframe.

This is just a guess on my part, but are Trump and Hegseth planning an invasion of Mexico?

To @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social - when talking to a reporter in the field at night, don’t position him close to and in front of flashing red and blue police lights. You’re a nighttime show; it made my darkened bedroom look like a disco.

The Chinese Century - more evidence.
BYD passed Ford in 2025 on total vehicle sales — a historic inflection. This isn’t about China “winning”. It’s about legacy auto discovering, too late — that once battery cost curves flip, incumbency stops mattering. This isn’t disruption coming. This is disruption already priced in. #Bettrification

I generally take after my mother’s side far more than my father’s. My mother, two out of three maternal aunts and uncles, and my grandmother all ended up with serious dementia. Now 75, is it irrational of me to prefer actual death over subjecting what loved ones remain to that kind of living death?
