Financial smartypantses (namely @peark.es): what strategies would you deploy to minimize your exposure to crypto in the coming years? Feels engineered to collapse after the strategic reserve is inevitably established.

@sahadevsharma.bsky.social as someone who talks to other teams’ beat writers, when’s the last time the Cubs have been this irrelevant to the overall MLB industry? Feels like Theo’s presence during the tank probably drew some interest from afar. Maybe ~1997?

Something I suspect (but can't prove) is that there are a lot people with small crypto holdings, who are nonetheless incredibly invested in their bags going up, to the point where if they do go up, they'll feel better about the economy, even if the increase doesn't change their material reality.

The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them

Gardening kicks ass. The zen calm that descends when you wake up early to water all the plants … the joy you feel when it rains and you don’t have to do that shit …
