Teach a man how to trade and he'll feel like a failure 64% of the time. Teach a man how to measure risk adjusted returns versus the benchmark and he'll feel like a failure his entire life.

Fun fact: the "numbers" in the phrase "numbers racket" were the middle three digits of the trading volume on the NYSE (chosen because they were published every day in the newspaper, and you wouldn't exactly trust a mob boss to draw a lottery honestly)
Nostalgia is a trap and it's frustrating to see ostensibly smart people believe obvious slop because part of the argument echos their critiques of the modern world.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
I don’t get a lot of opportunity to share the peacock-turkey battle photo I took last year, it looked like a dinosaur showdown:

I maybe got a little emotional looking at this photo 🪐🔭🚀🛰️ via NASA astronaut Don Pettit: “I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola.”

I love how new audiences continue to discover & appreciate this diagram from my 2014 book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (@pegasus-books.bsky.social). Before including it in the book, I imagined, calculated, & drew it, then asked a physicist to peer-review it. Physics, math, & paleontology made fun! 🧪🦕🤮

Just saw The Odyssey. Casting Matt Damon as Leopold Bloom was brave, but it really worked. Tom Holland good as Stephen Dedalus too. Anne Hathaway brilliant as Molly, but wish they had not cut her soliloquy. Wasn’t familiar with which bits of Dublin they used, but that didn‘t seem to matter.
