Not a novel idea here, but Margaret Thatcher really seems like she was the worst. Like, I've yet to hear a clip of her in any context where she seems like a reasonable human being on the right side of history.

Switching to a new music provision service and trying to speed date this algorithm to understand what I want to hear by playing a bunch of albums, as positive reinforcement. Alternative seems like it would have to manually thumbs down every song on a "90s" Playlist.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Last nigh, I decided to direct warp my RH loom to try a scarf (first project) and there were some challenges. 1) My cat. 2)Finishing and realizing the heddle was upside-down and not seated properly to function as a heddle. I'm going to reconvene tomorrow and string everything through again.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015
