I mean, idk what counts as objective these days, but they had the best point differential in NBA playoff history?!?

This is dead-on.

Whoever at X who decided to replace the "copy link" button with "send via DM" deserves to be thrown into an alligator pit.

Sources say Wemby has a big day planned in NYC, shoving people out of line for cronuts, yanking people out of line at the Rafael show at the Met, pushing people out of line at Salt Hank's, wrenching people out of line at Kith, etc etc

Pedophiles and private equity have ruined America and, more importantly, the New York Knicks home court advantage

Not great when the storyline of an NBA Finals game is the officiating.

🚨This is a test to the algorithm. This is only a test! Elon Musk is an entitled piece of shit oligarch who believes in apartheid and pushes racist ideologies on this platform. Fuck Elon Musk. This has been a test of the algorithmic system. If you see this post, please like it.

Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500. Their reasoning: "S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market. No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family." This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027. The requirements that will now remain in place are: • No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies. • Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion. • S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters. • S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float"). The S&P rejected proposals that would have: • Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months • Waived profitability requirements • Waived minimum public float requirements

If you are having a bad day, remember that Mohnish Pabrai had 79% of his portfolio in Micron but sold the entire stake in the middle of 2023 The stock is 1400% since then

Listen, I’m a big “the index is the index” guy, but they are openly looting the coffers. This is 100% fraud.

Despicable behavior on the part of s&p. Scumbags.

$PETS write up by @ExpectedValues The stock definitely has an “ick” factor to it, but imo it’s unreasonably cheap by a country mile. shadowstock.blogspot.com/202…

RT @ctizzie: Not all of us can cook the books at a software company during the 90s dot-com bubble, sell it for $4b based on fraud, wipeout…

FETTERMAN CONFRONTED: “I’m a breast cancer survivor, I had a double mastectomy, and the Trump administration took my health care away… And you’re standing with him.” Fetterman can barely talk. Painful to watch as usual.

SpaceX wins the trophy for most ridiculous TAM analysis in public market history. Saying your market is "$28.5 trillion" is the typa shit you see in F-tier startup pitch deck

Wrote about my 10 years at Disney. Mostly focused on their mismanagement of the FiveThirtyEight brand with more detail than I've spoken about publicly before. Not gonna lie, this felt kind of cathartic. natesilver.net/p/disney-eras…

This made my day.

My hot take is US Senators should be paid whatever their states minimum wage is. That’s how you represent your constituents, you live like them.

Mike Johnson wants people struggling with soaring gas prices, rent, and grocery bills to feel bad for members of Congress making “only” $174K a year, getting great healthcare, and taking months of vacation every year, and he’s using that to justify trading stocks while in office. Totally out of touch
