Really felt guilty about including this video in DISPELLING BEAUTY LIES - it's the first step on a slippery slope. And, now that there's one ugly gray backsplash, Carmen thinks she can convince me to add a glamour photo with a gray couch. A gray couch! Sorry, but no way Jose.
Nope, definitely not.

๐งต(1/) Every time someone talks about eliminating property taxes, the political class asks:

That question starts from the wrong premise. It assumes the size of government today is automatically the โcorrectโ size. It isnโt. #txlege

โก๏ธ How big should government be in the first place?
Right now, Texas property tax levies have grown far faster than population + inflation. That is not โfunding government.โ That is feeding bloat.

That gap is not โneeds.โ Itโs choices. Cities, counties, schools, & special districts chose to grow government much faster than Texans grew their paychecks.

Barry Lyndon, Stanley Kubrick's eighteenth-century epic, premiered fifty years ago this week (December 11).
In celebration, I am doing a watchthrough thread on the film. I'll link my previous threads on Barry Lyndon below.

People complain that this movie is slow but six minutes in Redmond Barry's (Ryan O'Neal) dad has been killed a gunfight and he has been seduced by his cousin (stay classy, eighteenth-century Ireland). 2/
Alright and we are already onto the first military scene, which let's be honest, is why you are reading this thread.

When you combine all three signals, the picture becomes very clear:
โข $40B/month in T-bill purchases
โข a fresh โ0.25% rate cut
โข and an economy already in stagflation
โฆyou donโt get a โsoft landing.โ
You get the start of a new inflation wave.

T-bill purchases = stealth liquidity.
Rate cuts in stagflation = negative real rates.
Negative real rates = the oldest monetary accelerant in history.
This is how a central bank weakens its own currency without admitting it.

That question just got answered by a team at Cornell.
They needed a way to trace connections backward through the brain - to light up every neuron sending signals into a specific area.

Variance is generous!
You donโt need an edge to beat the prop-firm game. You donโt even need a strategy that makes money in the long run. All you need is something that can stay alive long enough for one of those inevitable hot streaks that random variance hands out to everyone eventually.
Even a coin-flip approach, or a mildly losing system, will still deliver runs of +20%, +30%, sometimes +50% or more. Those runs donโt care whether you have alpha; they just show up.
To make sure to have the right 'setting' and mood for the forthcoming, factual and understandable texts about the incidents in #Vienna between August 1st and around August 20th (not even remember the exact date I left, bcs the relevant events had been long over by then already๐)
I wanna have a bit of fun, and point out the things I consider relevant, not caring if anyone else gives a damn or understands it. BUT for those trying to get close to the full picture, it might be interesting. ๐ Until I am done with at least the first part covering the events
during my stay in the SO/Vienna from Aug 1st until Aug 4th, I'm gonna ignore all the direct messages I might or might not get, simply because those can wait. So don't bother. Because it always causes a lot of confusion. The relevant "chaos magick" part: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magโฆ
![Cut-up technique The cut-up technique is an aleatory literary technique in which a written text is cut up and rearranged, often at random, to create a new text. The technique can also be applied to other media such as film, photography, and audio recordings. It was pioneered by Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs.[49] Burroughs โ who practiced chaos magic, and was inducted into the Illuminates of Thanateros in the early 1990s โ was adamant that the technique had a magical function, stating, "the cut-ups are not for artistic purposes".[50] Burroughs used his cut-ups for "po...](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G71Bvu9WYAAEq-x.jpg)
We're releasing more upgrades to Claude Code CLI:

- Instant compact
- Customer session names
- Usage stats
- Async subagents
- Instant compact
- Customer session names
- Usage stats
Tasks can now spawn async subagents that move to the background and continue working independently, even if the main agent finishes its task and becomes inactive.
This lets subagents handle long-running tasks, great for monitoring logs or waiting for builds.

0.09% of Italians in America were in the mafia at its PEAK, yet this is still being used by some as โsufficient reasonโ to deem Italians as non Whites or โlesser Whitesโ by people who reject actual race science/statistics.
Similar to the Irish using figures provided of around 4.5 million ethnic Irish in America during the PEAK of the Irish mob, I chose to assume they were 50% the size of the Italian mafia based on whatโs known, only 0.05 % of Irish would have been in the mob.
The reality is MASS immigration as a whole is often an issue with any people (although sevenfold higher among the non-Whites), the reason these Afrikaners for example arenโt an issue is because there were only around 60, if we took in 59K+ lets say, assimilation would be slower.

Trumpโs admission here PROVES he is lying about his mental state.
And it looks like his doctors are hiding a *FORMAL* diagnosis of cognitive impairment.

Trump has been given the โMontreal Cognitive Assessmentโ (MOCA) which is the standard evaluation used by doctors, including the US Navy at Walter Reed, to test for dementia.
Even though the MoCA is NOT part of the standard annual Presidential physical.
We know this as it is the only US accepted adult cognitive test that requires identifying 3 animals.

BUT, now we know he has had 3 of these cognitive tests since the start of the year by his own admission!
If someone fails a MOCA they are tested twice more with a 3 month delay between each test version.
