Here’s how I think things are going to go over the next year or so. Uncertainty brought on by the new tariff policy is going to plunge the U.S. into a recession or put us on the path to one. Markets will bleed the whole time this is happening. Later this year, economic data will push the FED to reduce interest rates, end QT, and maybe start QE. This would give risk assets a huge pump. For awhile. However, I think inflation will remain high and ultimately the FED will have acted too hastily, forcing them to reverse course in 2026. At which point, I expect a prolonged recession or worse. So, in my very retarded opinion - there will be a good opportunity to make money later in the year when the fed pivots. But make your money quick and take profits cause it won’t last for long.

OMFG, one of my cats just scared the ever living fuck out of me. I have a corner cabinet in my kitchen that has a tiny tiny tiny little hole up underneath in the corner where they didn’t put decorative molding. She somehow figured out how to get in there but then couldn’t get out. She was screaming, scratching, and crying trying to get out but could only get her 1 leg out. So after freaking the fuck out and yanking off all the molding, I found a piece of plywood that wasn’t attached to the cabinets to break off. That did the trick to free her. But, my god that was scary lol.

It seems like the Epstein issue is the only thing that’s united the left and right in this country in a long time.

I think it must be almost dead cause it hasn’t moved from the spot I put it in outside. Definitely still alive but just not much life left. Which apparently is how this works. The babies will eat the mom soon. 🤯 If you look closely you can see them on her back.

Omg I just had the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me. I came inside from a walk around the block and started doing jumping jacks. On the 5th jump up, I hear a loud “smack” on the floor. I look down and see the largest wolf spider I have ever seen in my entire life. I am not even exaggerating, it was like a fucking tarantula. On top of that, it was a mom and it was covered in baby spiders crawling on its back. So, I couldn’t smash it or I’d have 100s of baby spiders crawling all over the house. So, I grabbed a cup and placed it over top of the spider. And then put a piece of cardboard under the cup and took it outside. In the process, a fucking shitload of babies crawled out anyway, but I got it outside. Now, I’m relentlessly hunting baby spiders with the vacuum. They are everywhere, and I feel like they’re crawling all over me. Time to leave the south. That was too much. It fucking jumped on me and came inside on my head or my back or something! Ugggghh.

This fucking timeline is hilarious. Alan Dershowitz saying he knows they’re hiding the Epstein files. https://x.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1943394323514417371?s=46 (He knows because he’s at the top of the list)

If you don’t like big corporations, you shouldn’t like big government either. 1 leads to the other.

I am increasingly convinced that we could learn a lot from Chinas political system. This sounds much more meritocratic than what we have: https://x.com/thinking_panda/status/1942974306881065165?s=46 Don’t get me wrong though, I’d never make it there. But I still think we could learn some things. Especially about how they handle civil service.

Random thought of the day: I think the next vehicle I buy will be old, not new. My favorite vehicle was a 1988 Ford F150. That thing could handle anything and it just kept on going. And fixing it was actually possible! New cars are nearly impossible to fix on your own.

I think it’s really obvious why Trump won’t release the Epstein files: - He’s in them. - They would expose Israel to a degree that most Americans would want us to cut off relations entirely. There is no other reason that makes sense. We know from victim testimony and recovered evidence that there were recordings of individuals besides Epstein.

You know what really highlights Americas decline for me? The lack of grand infrastructure projects over the last 50+ years. I don’t think we could build the Hoover dam today or the Golden Gate Bridge. It would take 30 years and go 900% over budget. When you look at empires that have fallen through history, many of them built their most grand structures early in their reign. The great pyramid, the colosseum, the temples of Angkor wat, were all built early in the reign of their respective empires.
