How to survive a correction:
Watch every tick of the overnight futures market. Sleep when dead
Panic sell on big down days & buy back after big up days
Take your advice from ppl who have been calling for a crash every day for the last 12 yrs
Blame the Fed for any huge losses

Really interesting how so much of this stuff is centered on schools and school boards, all the way back to Brown v. Board of Education.
Think of the CHILDREN!
Carolina Forward (@ForwardCarolina) Tweeted: So, this is happening today: @NCValues, an extremist-right activist group, is putting on a “School Board Bootcamp” training for right-wing activists to run for (or just harass) their local school boards. They’re also serving a free lunch. /1 #ncpol

The Republican Party has come so far. “So far.”
Ok, my late-night king of cocktails. The Bitter Tears. 1:5 (or so) Fernet Branca:Gin, with about 7 drops of concentrated saline solution. Stir with ice 60 times, strain. “Enjoy.” Slowly.

Why judicial elections matter. Republicans swept the top judicial elections in NC last time.
«Only one of the three registered Republicans on the high court, Newby, spoke during oral arguments. He noted a “fair” election isn’t explicitly afforded to voters.»

This sort of thing is just ho…gwash. Any fool could pick up any 3GL in a heartbeat. The question “do you know X language?” is really “do you know the ecosystem of X language?” but no one seems to know that. Yes, I know COBOL, how hard could it be? COMPUTE TAKE-HOME-PAY = GROSS-PAY * (1 – FED-TAX-RATE – STATE-TAX-RATE – FICA-RATE). CLOSE FILES. GOBACK.
But the whole VSAM, VTAM, CICS2 ecosystem? They don’t ask about that.
Or is it only idiots (me) who think this is about a programming language?
Well, here’s a hit:
«The meteoric rise of White nationalism within national discourse over the course of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and freshman administration—through Trump’s barely coded speech at fascist-style rallies, his support from the internet-based “Alt Right,” and his placement of White nationalist popularizers in top positions—has produced a shock of revelation for people across a wide swath of the political spectrum. This shock, in turn, has been a source of frustration within communities of color and leftist circles, where White liberals are often accused of having kept their heads in the sand while more vulnerable populations sounded the alarm about the toll of economic crisis, mass incarceration, police violence, deportation, environmental devastation, and—despite and in reaction to the election of Barack Obama—the unending blare of everyday hate.»
The whole piece is interesting.

Well, then.
«Newsweek purged staffers who were reporting on and investigating the company’s wrongdoings and left the editorial operation in the hands of Nancy Cooper, a toady who wouldn’t rock the boat like the previous editor-in-chief Bob Roe did.
Since then, it’s been a right-wing nightmare.»
Good-bye, Newsweek, I guess.
The United States is LEADING the world in Covid deaths and unvaccinated people! AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM, WOOO!!!
