Technical analysis is bullshit BUT…

just look at that perfectly rounding top.

A screenshot of the S&P over the last year. It shows a very consistent parabolic curve starting in April and peaking around the turn of the year at about 7,000, with the downtrend over the past 2 months starting to accelerate.

I feel seen (and don’t like it, will avoid being seen again)

I rag on Nextdoor but it genuinely is a good way to shake yourself out of “surely 40% of people can’t still be on board with all this” complacency.

Nextdoor thinks the real reason gas prices are rising this week is CA has fewer refineries. Gas is fungible, people! Artisanally produced locavore gas isn’t magically cheaper.

A good way to convince people you will fight for them in congress is to beg for donations like you’re a helpless wet leaf blowing about in the wind.

A text asking for political donations. It reads

I'm confused. My race will decide the House Majority, but fundraising has
plunged & I'm facing crippling budget cuts
DONATE

Schumer must go.

A screenshot of leader schumers statement.

Leader Schumer Statement On U.S Military
Operations In Iran
New York, N.Y. - Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the
following statement following President Trump's strikes on Iran.
"When I talked to Secretary Rubio, I implored him to be straight with Congress
and the American people about the objectives of these strikes and what comes
next. Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American
people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when
there are so many problems at home.
"The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with
critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat. Confronting Iran's
malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian
people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic
clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump's fitful cycles of lashing out and risking
wider conflict are not a viable strategy.
"The administration must brief Congress, including an immediate all senators
classified briefing and in public testimony, to answer these vital questions. The
Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by
passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act.
"My prayers are with our brave American servicemembers.

In the perfect intersection of pedantry, politics, and parochialism, I'm letting everyone know you don't include someone's first name when they're a lord, unless they're a younger son and it's just a courtesy title not a real lordship.

So he's either Peter Mandelson or Lord Mandelson, not Lord Peter Mandelson.

Why shouldn't I keep it?

There was a brief window where USB-C to Lightning cables were useful, and during this time I seem to have acquired about 40 of them.

@beccadax A genre of Reddit posts I enjoy is “I’m sick of these big tech companies, I just want a simple phone that <unfurls scroll of requirements 120 meters in length>”

@slava I would consider switching to “in zarquon’s name, test!” but I’m not sure it can handle the punctuation.

The "is this a bird" meme where the guy is pointing to a butterfly. The guy is captioned "blogger using a text editor" and the butterfly "text editor code". He is saying "is this the singularity?"

An excerpt from the NYT coverage of the Super Bowl half time show prediction markets:

Confused yet? So were many people who placed bets — or bought "event

how the company resolved the market on Cardi B's appearance.

narrator: but something had gone wrong

The stock market is supposed to hit record highs constantly, if it doesn't something has gone wrong. The current admin bragging about it is like them yelling "2026 is the highest year number ever achieved".

Pressing the button to silence my fire alarm like it’s the world’s most inconvenient tamagotchi.
