But it's kind of a useful data point to track the rate at which insiders are listing their shares and at what price. I have notifications set up for this one AI company where all the shareholders are basically falling over eachother to try and offload their shares, which nobody is buying.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I'll start using AI when it stops captioning mentions of "DRS" in F1 commentary as "doctors".
Also, I get that Irish accents are tough, but what are the chances someone said "Patsy needs to be 1.5 say crumbs Leicester per layup than Vern slapping"?

My favourite detail from the life of Maximilian I of Mexico is that, having been tried and condemned to death, a plan was hatched to break him out of jail before his execution by bribing the guards. He refused "because he felt that shaving his beard to avoid recognition would undermine his dignity".
