Long volatility and short abstraction, seeing capital and political markets through lenses of game theory and history. Like all coyotes, I’m too clever by half.

This is a great read. Our supply chain problem isn’t a “bottleneck” at the ports. It’s the systemic collapse of an over-levered, financialized transport industry. Ports, warehouses, containers, trucking, rails … it’s all connected and it’s all fucked up.

2018 saw a bombshell of a paper tear open the decades old consensus of the British 'Beaker Phenomenon', with a population turnover of maybe 90%. So how have archaeologists responded in the last few years? A thread: https://t.co/5zrZ5gsFW4

Excellent thread. The “democratization” of Wall Street and the “empowerment” of the Little Guy ™️ thru Robinhood and the like is a total sham, a modern day Hunger Games.

Got some grifters out there lately pushing a narrative that the rise of broad-based aggressive individual trading activity is somehow empowering, so here are some links below to actual research/data on the topic, both newer and older.

ET contributor (and all-around good guy) @donnelly_brent is offering a free series of trading lessons for non-experts on his substack. Today's lesson is about the interaction of narrative and price, and is a good read. Thanks, Brent!

Great thread! All I’d add is that in past we’ve seen Russian info opps primarily targeting US nat’lists (MAGA) and Indian nat’lists (BJP). Over past two weeks they had a big setback w/US efforts except for Christian-Q, so makes sense that RU info opps now focused on India.

Amazing thread. Shows how intercepted comms + geolocation tech + UAVs have neutered armored assault columns. And so warfare returns to the old killer: artillery.
