I honestly think he has some sort of blind spot where it comes to SNL. Realistically he has one half-decent sketch (the air conditioner one). I'll tolerate much in the name of humor, but you can't be edgy *and* unfunny, my dude.

The monologue, along with being misogynistic, was also deeply unfunny. Name dropping Theo Von and Joe Rogan told me that this dude exists in a weird masculine bubble that is deeply unrelatable by even most other men. I have found some of Gillis' standup funny in the past too, so 🤷‍♂️

That’s why we went into Iraq, to recover Saddam’s strategic whistle reserve.

I think they should try to board in the homes of citizens in Minneapolis so they can get the amendment violation hat trick: 1-4 What a travesty.

Do you think that is likely? I feel like it is less likely generally, but more likely in pockets (ie software engineers). Decimate feels like an overreaction.

Healthcare is a bad wedge issue for the shutdown fight because it's not as urgent. The dems should be using inflation and tariffs as the messaging.

The theory of the unitary executive is enabling an authoritarianism that is deeply unamerican. Why it's being allowed and what to do about it? They rely on our system having a hidden check: norms. Norms are not acknowledged by authoritarians, so we need new amendments to encode some of these norms.

Do you think Trump and Putin get together and bitch about their oligarch's being naughty? Trump: Ugh, elon called me a pedo, vlad. smdh Putin: Take it from me they are the worst! Prigozhin took a whole city. Ultimately it's nothing a plane crash can't handle, tho.

It's stark how different their world view is from mine. I prided myself on being able to see the other side and ultimately find some axioms where we are in alignment. Their view of international policy is small, transactional and ultimately will "beggar thy neighbor" until we are all beggars.

cstella @caseystella.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Ok, I believe you, but can you explain precisely how they will make it harder than it already is? What extra guardrail is removed here that they haven't already shown themselves willing to ignore?

cstella @caseystella.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Please be very clear about communicating the actual consequences of a gov shutdown viz the political exploitation by Trump and Musk. How would this be an opportunity for them *beyond* what they already can do. We need your reasoning, because it feels like you just lost an opportunity to resist.

Pretty sure Putin thinks the "underlying cause of this crisis" is the continued independence of the Ukrainian state.

I think it's notable that the President thinks so highly of an obvious grifter like Cardone (not for the first time). If it wasn't obvious before, it's clear now that the acquisition of money divorced from taste is extremely attractive to Trump. He is obviously the Magpie in chief.

cstella @caseystella.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

The President appears dysfunctional and needs to be returned to the autocrat store. I guess it's past the 30 day window, so we'll have to settle for store credit.

The thing I like about bank economists is that they don’t seem to be shying away from blaming all of this on the Whitehouse.

“ChatGPT if a petty functionary engages in diplomacy through single combat with a hostile actor with nuclear weapons, does that violate the Logan Act?” These are truly unserious people.

The president had overwhelming support in rural America. Farmers are among those feeling the pain of his early moves, and some push for adjustments. NPR covers rural America when others don’t, and my colleague Scott Neuman has a long and nuanced report that’s worth your time.

Scalia responds to the absurd conspiracy theory about ACB being a crypto-liberal. I swear to God right wingers are like, “Neil Armstrong backwards is ‘Gnorts, Mr Alien’ so the moon landing was faked.” And 30% of America buys it.

What happens when Fidesz loses next year and Magyar closes ranks with the EU? Will he just bounce around based on political alliance with Russia? Maybe cut to the chase and go to North Korea or Moscow?

This is good; it harkens back to a bygone age where people’s last names indicated their professions. Like Smiths were likely blacksmiths, coopers repaired barrels, musks made things stink.

It's telling that both Rubio felt comfortable in the confrontation now and that there were people willing to leak. They are clearly smelling blood in the water.

They clearly do not agree with the shift to a services economy. They are intent on taking us backwards to a less profitable era where we will ultimately be less competitive and therefore likely fail.

This dude talks to us so much. Every day it's a 2 hr address to congress or some oval office announcement of something he will walk back in an hour. What ever happened to the strong and silent type or speak softly and carry a big stick? We elected a Yapper in Chief.

@weisenthal.bsky.social I'd love to hear Odd Lots cover how value investors are reacting to this new protectionism Specifically: * Value investing implies a def of value grounded in the econ reality * Protectionism shifts the econ reality for US, et al How do we measure "value" now?

Yeah, kids roll their eyes at moms scolding them about not putting on their coat until they get frostbite, I guess. I suspect with these trade policies it's going to be find-out o'clock in America soon.
