It’s better than being a phony defender of the consistent
Fun fact: Close-up magic has never been more popular than it is right now. Here’s why www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
As @emilypeck.bsky.social reminds me, I've been working on this piece for over 20 years. I like the way it came out! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
They’re the deadliest animal in America!
Gloriously concise and on-point summary from Walt and Kira. Really helps explain why people like @vandehei.bsky.social get so excited about Claude Code and why 99% of the rest of us do not. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
And then I guess the government has to tender 25% of the shares repurchased in any buyback? That’s how shares become public revenue?
I have to admit this chart surprises me, it's holdings of bitcoin ETFs in bitcoin. I would have expected the recent selling to show up here and it doesn't seem to have done so. dune.com/hildobby/btc...
Household net worth is mostly home equity, right? With a broad index fund on top?
either!
Hive mind: Is the Washington Post in a better or a worse position today than in the alternative universe where the Grahams never sold it?
It’s related to the “college admissions is infinitely harder than it used to be, even bright kids can’t get in anywhere” meme, which is just statistically false, most colleges are desperate for students
Amazingly, seems that Epstein traded sovereign CDS from his gmail account.
Chart crime du jour
It’s all about angles, metes and bounds Anne
These extra 10% tariffs re Greenland are exactly the kind of tariffs SCOTUS is going to find illegal on Wednesday, right?
Please don’t put PAST DUE in red all caps on the very first invoice you send me
don't worry Lizzie you'll do better next time
If you can’t understand the sentence “Although statistical evidence suggests otherwise, these unfortunate events are happening more often” then you can’t understand today’s politics. (I am definitely in the “this breaks my brain so don’t look to me” camp.)
I am begging @hellgatenyc.com to allow subscribers to sign in with a username and password. No one wants to wait 12 minutes for a code to arrive via email.
Although the white gold is harder and more scratch-resistant
Wherein I attempt to kickstart a new column called Relative Value Trade: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
What’s the German word meaning “the choice-regret one feels after breezing through a bunch of easy 5-point questions in Bloomberg’s Pointed quiz, knowing that the 30-pointers are going to be much more difficult”?
Well you see that’s where you’re wrong.
“What’s the weather like?” “It’s freezing / It’s below freezing” yes C makes sense.
“What’s the weather like?” “It’s boiling” — C makes no sense at all, it’s not 100 C it’s closer to 1/3 of that
Meanwhile ofc “0 is freezing” is also very intuitive
In principle I agree but in practice I like the intuitiveness of 70 is nice, 80 is hot, 90 is extreme, 100 is the maximum. And then above 100 is just feck off, that’s not for humans.
What I really want is for the iOS weather app to show me the temperature in Celsius below 10 degrees C, and then in Fahrenheit above 50 degrees F
Got to go on Slate Money Talks with @felixsalmon.com to talk about my @planetmoney.bsky.social GiveWell episode and ALIMA and the post-USAID world slate.com/podcasts/sla...
Definitely not as top of mind in the US as in Germany, but also yes that’s what I meant when I said that Americans eat too much beef
