The American
Washington saw this coming, and he told us straight.
He said factions become "potent engines" that let "cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men" "subvert the power of the people and... usurp for themselves the reins of government."
Read that again. That's not a history lesson, that's a manual.
Now look around. People can't sit at a table together anymore.
Every election is life or death, and every loss feels like the end of the world.
Washington had a name for that: "the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension." And he said one side dominating the other "is itself a frightful despotism."
It doesn't stop there.
The chaos wears people out, and tired people start looking for someone, anyone, to make it stop. They begin to "seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual."
...
And somebody's always ready to be that guy, "on the ruins of public liberty."
So how did we get here?
We gave power to our own demise, seeking liberty and justice, in a system where we were blind to the corruption we were creating. Why? How.
It is our default as humans... our primitive instinct.
We are territorial creatures with grievances, where every nuance is an issue, and every issue is another reason for hate.
Washington said "th spirit is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind."
He wasn't pointing at the other team. He was pointing at all of us.

i’m begging you, if you hold crypto on your iPhone PLEASE READ THIS👇
Binance just issued an urgent security warning about a new iOS vulnerability called “worse_query”
basically a malicious app could bypass Apple’s security restrictions and access files belonging to OTHER applications on your phone
(including potentially your wallet’s recovery phrases, private keys and credentials if they’re stored in an accessible form)
it doesn’t even require a jailbreak
Binance specifically warned about iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2
Apple released iOS 27.2.1 and 26.7.3 yesterday
so PLEASE update your iPhone, avoid installing apps from random links and check whether you have any untrusted applications or developer profiles installed
if you suspect your device has already been compromised, create a new wallet on a CLEAN device and move your funds
NOW!!!!!
i’ve spent years in crypto and one thing genuinely scares me more than a market crash is losing everything because of one stupid security mistake
please take five minutes to protect yourself
and share this with anyone you know who holds crypto on their phone

Let me just be clear.
Voting.. in America..
Is like picking one of two sides of the same coin, they both hold the same value.
The game is rigged, no matter who you choose because all politicians have become puppets
Their pockets are filled by sugar, glyphosate, foreign blackmail, oil, and paper money with no back for over 50 years; all as a plot for some egregious, Big Brother, dystopian society.
And yes I get it, 1913 was also a big year in the start of this process along with many other events prior.

"Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook!"
-Harry S. Truman (33rd President of the United States)
Also, George Washington, our FIRST president... Remember the Farewell Address?
(Co Authored by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison)
*Some of the most intellectual mind in government and economics*
I quote:
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism."
...
"The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."

A stock will do well in IPO when it doesn't need the IPO funds to start the next phase of development.
Thats something I believe Elon did to hinder such a major loss from launching SpaceX on a public level, by merging it with XAI to show some capital coming in.
I'm saying this because Anthropic is launching its IPO relatively soon... But the birdies are tweeting they are banking on outside financing for some major computing infrastructure projects... So...
Uh oh

Negativity is the fuel of virality.
Positivity is the unscripted lunacy that creates the delta of our existence.

THIS IS ROARING KITTY??? WTF
A man invested his family's $53,000 in savings into a dying video game company that was thought to be ending
Later, in the basement of his home, he turned that investment into $48 MILLION.
Keith Gill was a 34 year old financial analyst at a Boston insurance firm in 2019.
He was just your average 9-5 worker with an average salary, but his conviction was something else.
He believed GameStop, a mall video game retailer trading at $5 a share, was one of the most undervalued companies in America, even though it was struggling with the rise of the digital age.
Wall Street disagreed. Hedge funds had shorted the stock so much that more shares were shorted than what actually existed.
Everyone was certain GameStop was going to zero.
But not Gill.
Gill invested $53,000 of his family's savings and started posting his analysis online under the name DeepFuckingValue on Reddit and Roaring Kitty on YouTube.
Nobody took him seriously. He kept posting anyway, week after week, with nothing but spreadsheets and his own strong conviction.
In January of 2021 retail traders on Reddit's WallStreetBets discovered his posts.
Retail started buying and the stock went from $5 to $483 in three weeks time. A 9,600% gain.
Wall Street's Hedge Funds that shorted the stock lost BILLIONS. One firm alone lost over $6 BILLION and had to be bailed out by the other hedge funds.
On January 27, 2021, Gill's $53,000 investment was worth $48 MILLION.
He lost $13 MILLION in a single day when the stock started going down. He held anyway, without a second thought.
Robinhood restricted buying of GameStop without warning.
Retail traders were angry. Congress then had summoned Gill to testify.
He showed up in his Roaring Kitty headband and said three words that became the most quoted phrase in finance that year,
"I like the stock." - Keith Gill
His employer fired him and paid a hefty $4 MILLION fine for failing to supervise his trading.
He went quiet for three years.
Then in May 2024 he posted a single image on X. GameStop surged 50% the next morning before he said a single word.
By June 2024 his position was worth $289 MILLION.
A Hollywood film called Dumb Money was made about the event, with Paul Dano. Gill has never spoken publicly about it.
Roaring Kitty will forevr be a name that is recognized in the finance world, and his legacy will not stop.

Keep this type of energy on my TL
Finance called IT because a customer owed us $240,000 and nobody could find them.
Customer name: TEST CUSTOMER DO NOT USE.
I recognized it immediately.
I created that account two years ago to test our billing software.
It had a fake address.
A fake phone number.
The contact email was [email protected].
Apparently Sales found the account last quarter and used it to demonstrate our new quoting system.
Someone accidentally converted the demonstration quote into a real order.
That triggered an invoice.
The invoice went unpaid.
Our collections software sent seven payment reminders to [email protected].
Nobody responded.
Finance escalated the account to a debt collection agency.
The agency spent three weeks trying to locate TEST CUSTOMER DO NOT USE.
They reported the company had no registered address, no employees, and no known assets.
Finance classified the account as high-risk.
Yesterday Legal asked me for the customer's original contract.
I explained there was no customer.
They asked whether we could prove that.
I said I personally invented the company.
Legal said that wasn't sufficient documentation.
Apparently writing "DO NOT USE" in the customer name doesn't legally establish that the customer doesn't exist.
We're now paying $8,000 for an external auditor to determine whether a company I made up owes us $240,000.
Finance has asked me not to delete the account until the investigation concludes.
It's our third-largest customer this quarter.

The internet is going into a LOCKDOWN.
Hundreds of millions of websites are potentially at risk from cyberattacks.
Governments, banks and major platforms have already taken their websites OFFLINE.
Many are already calling it “Black October.”
At the centre of the shutdowns is something most of us have never heard of, but use every day.
PHP, the software behind roughly 7 in 10 websites, has two critical flaws that can let hackers break in without a password.
Dubbed PHP2Shell, both are rated 9.2 out of 10 for severity.
Details began circulating on Oct 20. Emergency fixes arrived the next day, but attackers were already moving.
Cloudflare’s CEO says hacking attempts then jumped from thousands to MILLIONS within hours.
Cybersecurity agencies across several countries are telling PHP site owners the same thing: Patch it now, or take it offline.
Websites have gone dark worldwide, from government portals and hospitals to banks.
CrowdStrike warns these attacks leave almost no trace, so some sites may not know if they’ve been hit.
Around 2.6 MILLION internet-facing servers run PHP, potentially hosting hundreds of sites each.
Over 1.1 million use older versions no longer receiving official PHP updates.
Older installations may need an upgrade to a supported PHP version or a fix from their software provider.
And patching does not remove a backdoor an attacker may already have planted.
Cloudflare also says hackers are now tweaking their attacks to try to slip past its protections.
But PHP isn’t the only security story unfolding.
-Japan’s Onamae suspended ALL Desktop Cloud plans after malware was found on customer servers.
-India’s eMudhra had 8 website-certificate keys so weak, one was literally the number “4”.
-State Bank of India confirmed 3,897 customer records on the dark web.
-Criminals used AI agents to break into 400+ Latin American banks.
-Capcom confirmed a breach exposing 11.7 million email addresses.
-GitLab disclosed a 10/10 severity flaw in versions going back to 2014.
-LiteLLM removed a malware-containing release. Railway reported possible exposure of customer secrets.
None of these has a confirmed link to PHP2Shell.
We’re seeing separate breaches unfold together.
The true number of incidents could take months to come out.
The world is still on alert. Attacks are still coming.
Ngl all these crypto exploits and cold wallet issues making me real nervous about my crypto holdings

Disney should have made the Arizona Cardinals pairing be Boba Fett.
Easy choice.
But man I guess it's better than getting Hamm like the Washington Commanders.
Would have definitely went storm troopers there.

Anyone else starting to realize, crypto doesn't follow shit. It creates trends whenever the hell it pleases.
That's it.
No selling the news.
No buying the rumor.
No down trend on fed hikes.
No uptrend on rumored fed cuts.
No downtrend on trade haults
No downtrend on peace halts.
No uptrend on innovation.
It's all just charting, volume, and who can outwork who.
That's in.
