Insane rebrand for Pirate’s Booty. Design firm claims they didn’t use AI, yet managed to make it look like AI slop all the same!

One of my favorite bar games is to go around describing the plots of Tom Cruise movies (this started a few years ago when my New Year's resolution was to watch every Tom film (I failed)). They're all insane-sounding. Even the blockbusters. Try it. Start with Cocktail.

Finally watched Digger: I think I hate it but every time I attempt to explain why I hate it I describe liking it. I’m not sure what’s happening here.

I am back at work today! Jumping straight into it with retail sales this morning. The takeaway? The consumer remains resilient in the face of persistent inflation and uncertainty. OR We're in trouble. Just depends on how you look at things 🤠🤡 barrons.com/articles/retail-…

Retail Sales Look Strong, but Shoppers Aren’t Buying Much More

Higher gasoline prices drove much of September’s sales gain, masking slower growth in underlying spending.

NYC summers hate your weekends. I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real. It was. 27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain. That’s 71%. Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans. Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits. Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery. The wildest stat: 70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday. The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall. I built a full dashboard using NWS Central Park data with every weekend tracked and every raindrop counted:

Warsh: I will lead a reform oriented federal reserve. Learning from past successes and mistakes both. escaping static frameworks and models, and upholding clear standards of integrity and performance.

"The stock market is up 600 points today," the president told Warsh, "that means they like you." With Warsh, he said, the market "is only going to go up."'

Trump kicks off Warsh swearing-in ceremony by talking about East Wing renovation and then naming all of the Republican politicians in the room. Not a great way to establish Fed independence.
