The Golden Age of Grift
This is probably the best read recently that captures the absolute insanity in pockets of the “investing” environment. Must read. Not going to ruin excerpting pieces, read the whole thing. You are welcome…
Ok, it starts like this and just does not let up…
There are three investors in the market today:
- Winners: Those who made a ridiculous amount of money in a short time
- Losers: Those who lost a ridiculous amount of money in a short time
-
Outsiders: Those who neither made nor lost a significant sum of money, but they took notice of group 1
The Food Timeline
If you are into food, this is an amazing body of work, wow!
The Notorious Mrs. Mossler
In “the trial of the century,” a Houston socialite was accused of plotting her husband’s murder—and of having an affair with her nephew. But Candace Mossler was only getting started.
What a stunning article at Texas Monthly. I had never heard of her. After reading about this lady it would have been better not to know about her I think. Some people are just born narcissists and just evil and sick…Anyway, this is top quality writing!
Order Flocking Out of Chaos
A physicist-turned-photographer captures the incredible harmony of starling murmurations.
Totally mesmerizing…

ABC says
Inflation is here:
“ Dollar Tree hikes prices 25%. Most items will cost $1.25!!”
Thanks Powell and the Federal Bank. Inflation is broader, deeper and lasting longer than your “models” predicted.
BTW, The golden age of grift May turn out to be a classic.
ABC says
Make sure she gets the booster. We’re far behind on that front.

CDC dropped another one making boosters optional smh
