There you go

It is feeling that way

I clicked on the link, saw it was 943 pages, and moved on. Maybe it is just taking some time to sift through?

Hawking is the surprise for my money

Apparently, his mother said he certified last night.

NC State?

Saw another story today about Youtube's most popular/profitable content creator politely turned down Musk's invitation to move to Twitter, saying he couldn't generate enough revenue on Twitter to cover his costs. But Twitter is popular.

When you go to the grocery store how much bread can you get for popular, or do they still require money?

Not sure. I don't even have Twitter but when I post a link it also auto embeds.

@VakAttack you have a lot more stamina than I do. I just call thwm dumb and move on (well, not always).

Dude, we don't come here to get your Twitter feed. We come here to make fun of Twitter.

It was actually a non-NCAA school. Oak Hills Christian College, a member of something called the Association of Christian College Athletics. Enrollment 100. What is it about the religious schools that makes them want to be martyrs?

Buy Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund and short all the other holdings against it (MSFT, NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META, MRVL, UBER, LLY, SNAP, etc.)

$12 billion of equity value. In one investor's opinion. If Fidelity is correct there is still enough value to cover the debt.

First rule of holes. When you are in one stop digging.

What is "Go F Yourself" worth? Fidelity's answer is at least negative $3 billion (more if you compare to comparable companies' performance). The good news is that Musk's November performance art only accounts for 3 of the 31 billion incinerated so far. And now there is just $12 billion of pain left. https://www.axios.com/2023/12/31/elon-musks-x-fidelity-valuation-cut Fidelity believes that X is worth 71.5% less than at the time of purchase, according to a new disclosure that runs through the end of November 2023 (Fidelity revalues private shares on a one-month lag). This includes a 10.7% cut during November, during which time Musk told boycotting X advertisers to "go f**k yourself" during an on-stage interview with the New York Times. In terms of publicly traded comps, Meta stock rose 4.9% in November while Snap shares climbed 38.2%.

Want the athletes to play? Pay them. The bowl games are purely a money grab. Let the athlete's grab some. The schools get paid, the networks get paid, the bowl game executives get paid. The bowl games have highly paid, full-time, year-round staff for one game per year. The CEO (huh? what the hell does a CEO of a singe game do all year?) of the Orange Bowl got paid $750k. The Rose Bowl CEO got paid $450k. The Fiesta Bowl CEO got paid $870k.

I have nothing, sorry.

I think that is where I struggle. Both the fact that there are levels, but also that the levels are so far apart. Why is Grambling State playing the College of Biblical Studies? Why are these two levels that are so far apart intersecting? Don't the levels exist to prevent this type of thing? Women's college basketball goes back to 1896. It has been in the Olympics since 1976. It just seems odd that this kind of mismatch exists, but it also seems to be the province of women's sports these days. As a matter of fact, the three largest margins of victory in women's college basketball have happened in the last 6 years.

This just cam across my email: The U.S. Department of Education reported that nearly 9 million (roughly 40%) of the 22 million borrowers with a student loan payment due in October 2023 missed their payment, according to CNN. October marked the first month that student loan payments were required following a pandemic-era pause. For comparison, fewer than 26% of borrowers missed their payment in October 2019, before the pause went into effect. Missed payments will not be reported as delinquent or in default to the three national credit bureaus through September 2024, but interest will continue to accrue on the debt. Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York revealed that student loan balances totaled $1.6 trillion at the end of Q3’23. I am not sure how to interpret this. It could be an adjustment to having to pay again, and the delinquency rate will shrink back to its baseline as people re-establish habits. Or it could be a form of protest (not a good one, mind you). Or it could be a sign of generational economic stress.

Wasn't Chittum the start?

On the same day that Caitlin Clark hit one of the most amazing game winning shots I have ever seen (contested, step back, three-pointer, FROM THE LOGO) I also see this: In women’s basketball, the Grambling State Lady Tigers beat the College of Biblical Studies 159-18. Grambling started the game on a 34-0 run and didn’t let up. The 141-point win represents the largest margin of victory by a Division I women’s basketball team in history.

Chael, is that you? If not you should expect to hear from Sonnen's lawyer for stealing his bit.
