Good news. After massive public backlash from both retail & pension funds, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that it will keep its existing eligibility requirements for benchmarks including the S&P 500, closing the door to fast entry for big tech IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI and delaying billions of dollars in flows from passive funds.

Today in Labor History May 31, 1927: Fred Trump, father Donald Trump, was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens, New York. The Long Island Daily Press reported that all the arrestees, including Trump, were wearing Klan robes. During his presidential campaign, Journalists asked Donald Trump about his father's arrest. He claimed "it never happened."

Signed all my devices out of iMessage yesterday, then re-added them one at a time after forcing a sync on each one. Now deleting a message actually deletes it everywhere again, and it’s been a surprising help to my mental state.
