your girlfriend sits closer to the other guy at the blackjack table. another “date night” gone bad. the guy is younger but bets more which for some reason annoys you. you ask if she wants to get wings. she doesn’t answer. he’s dealt another blackjack. she nicknames him hard 11.

good stuff mentioned

Met Paul Mescal. He seemed ok. Cool clothes. Quite a bit shorter than me, reckon he’d be toast on day 1 of Gladiator school tbh. Maybe 5/2 to survive to day 2? Reach has to be massive in the ‘sport’ right? I reckon arm length is critical. The result will turn on first cut.

Menswear is a tangential interest of mine, so take this with a pinch of salt, but I think Torsten is the best of the best. My rationale is that he’s so consistent and his attention to detail is second to none. There’s nothing I enjoy more in life than expertise and enthusiasm.

It’s probably nothing. eBay auctions falling short of comps, sellers complaining about bad weeks. Fanatics dumps new, identical product, flooding the market with nonexistent QC. You ask what your PSA 10 is worth while grading companies battle a class action. Probably nothing.

Strongly recommended!

Thoughts of the day: 1) Super Intelligence is such a low energy Jeb phrase; 2) if your friend lets you down when it counts, they’ll do it again; 3) once the son of a rich father gets lazy, it’s over - they *never* come back and are a leech loser forever; 4) Midleton 2019 🔥

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

$ETH Now stuck between its Weekly 200MA/EMA and $2.8K horizontal level. This horizontal area has played a critical role in ETH's price action for 2-3 years now. Acting as a strong support & resistance many times. So keep an eye on the weekly closes around this region.

Also just noticed there’s only two women in the room and one of them is the White House chief of staff, as opposed to an exec. Not making any particular point - just surprised it’s almost all men and heavily dominated by immigrants or children of immigrants. Maybe random tbf.

This is quite striking to me. It’s not a very large group either.
