I just read that the Black album by Metallica was released 35 years ago today. Pretty sure I'm in the fossil record at this point.

An important reminder that just because a CEO says a thing, doesn't mean it needs to be parroted as a headline without context. karlbode.com/ceo-said-a-t...

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism
"CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

Oil is up about 40% since December. If it stays up here, that'll add ~100bps to headline and ~20bps to core. More importantly, it will eat into household's real spending power. It's a drag roughly enough to fully offset the positive OBBB benefits in '26.

Why do this? If you told me it's because nursing is a female dominated field and they don't view women as professionals, I might believe you. Nursing no longer a professional degree. See changes to student loans share.google/bZg9KnnHEPAJ...

"Kennedy's actions are endangering America's health, according to everyone in a position to know." That's the story. You put Kennedy's side on paragraph 9 after laying out the entire case against him, and then you spend 6 more paragraphs reiterating why he's full of shit. That's a responsible story.
