I need to eat some crow here, turns out Dime was right about Tesla stock... it's not just inter-fund trading driving volume like FAANG, several larger funds are slowly divesting even as Vanguard, Black Rock, etc. hold. ESG pressure?

I thought they were IRS agents?
Twitter (and Facebook) have a significant number of former FBI, CIA, and NSA agents on payroll for... reasons. I don't believe Burt was referring to the Federal payroll.

My sister (Dunning-Kruger idiot) is posting on FB about the Chinese “satellite” over Montana. She’s probably got posts about it going on insta, tik tok, parler, and her dozen blogs also.

"Coddling" is a foundational text for me, so despite some less than stellar writing I think Haidt is correct here:
He is careful to avoid the next logical leap in the changing social dynamics amoungst the young, but it's difficult not to make it when reading this.

They had their own fuck up, but if I Google a restaurant, I want the restaurant. If I want to fuck the restaurant, I can download the DoorDash app on my own. I don't need Google to trick me into fucking the restaurant.
NOTE: I know this isn't actually DoorDash.
