It’s not really a crash until the stock trips the circuit breaker.

Special relativity: if you measure the speed of light it will appear to you the same even if you yourself are traveling at close to the speed of light, and this implies time is not constant

General relativity: btw this explains gravity

Taibbi thinks he was robbed of a sense of normalcy, he wasn’t. He happily traded it away for a series of dopamine hits as the nightmare box showed him ever more disconcerting undergrad essays and tenderqueer tik toks.
This excerpt from Taibbi is surreal. He admits to spending a decade addicted to a nightmare box that is algorithmicly optimized to show him things that will trigger fight or flight reflexes in order to keep his eyeballs available for advertisers, he recognizes that the nightmare box output is used to manipulate people, but he can’t put 2 and 2 together.
Combined with the fact that he’s smack dab in the middle of an entire generation unprepared for the reality of aging, it’s a pitiful sight.
I was going to make a joke about using guided meditation to drive the stock below 130 today, but the animal spirits have made my humor redundant.

Occasionally I think about how Rome’s ideological imprint on the basic idea of governance was so strong in the West that 1,300 years after Rome itself fell the Russian empire was calling its ruler Caesar, proto-Germany claimed the governmental lineage of Rome, and a new nation decided to call its higher legislative body the Senate.
I can’t decide which option is funnier:
Elon was so angry that he intentionally banned a generally supportive billionaire VC from Twitter
Elon fired the person responsible for OKing banning of high profile accounts and some rando employee nuked a potential source of funding.
Question: if Tesla shareholders sued the CEO for neglecting his duties and using company resources for his private endeavor, would that possibly go in front of the Delaware court of Chancery? Because that could be a fun sequel.
Ok, at least one big VC is not happy with the new link policy, and he’s generally been on Elon’s side. I give it sub 24 hours before a pretty severe walk back. https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1604556563338887168?s=20&t=lxyWLffk4Q5hBpd4tZWBpg
