It would be way more interesting if all the writers detailing why Biden is such a candidate/bad fit would spend some time addressing why he’s been Dem front runner in basically every D poll this year
if you honestly think it’s just “name recognition” than make that detailed argument. (btw, it doesn’t reflect very well on Dem voters)
from media perspective, I just chuckle reading these laundry list of Biden failings etc and there’s no mention that oh yeah, he’s D voters’ top choice
*not an endorsement (I’m just gonna leave this disclaimer on for next few month:)

very disappointing move by Baylor.

previous women hoops champions have stayed away from toxic Trump WH
btw, I blame the school, not the players who by all indications wanted nothing to do w/ Trump
why didn’t Baylor allow these women to have a voice??

good grief, the US Attorney General refusing to answer questions from Congress re: looming cover-up is not a “feud”;
from NYT

btw, this is demented: “She loves to hear herself talk, thinks her BS doesn’t stink, and she lies”
every conceivable misogynistic cliche recycled here. and folks wonder why women candidates this cycle aren’t getting fair shake?

Time for a Friday history thread! How about we do Eddie Chapman AKA Agent Zigzag, one of the greatest spies & double agents of the WWII era. Sort of a James Bond type, but also a way more interesting character study.
We'll start at the beginning. Eddie was born in 1914 Durham, son of a tavern/pub owner. The whole Chapman clan had a reputation for mischief & here Eddie held true. Smart kid, didn't take much to school, got into some trouble.
For some reason at 17 he decided to join the Coldstream Guards, & after almost a year of guarding the Tower of London, he (predictably in hindsight) went AWOL to run off w/a Soho girlfriend. A few months in prison & dishonorable discharge.

#poll If there was a Snap General Election, who would you vote for?

(For other parties, please vote them in comments)

Please RT once Voted! 😃
1997: Blair 13.5mn votes
1997-2015: Blairites/ Others lost 180 seats & 5mn voters
2017: Corbyn 12.8mn votes/ Gained 32

2019:

add first time voters (75% of those who vote, vote for Labour)

Subtract 2% of the population, 80% of whom vote Tories!

Labour Landslide on the cards!
Lab’s share of vote could be 14.5+mn

Once we take into account first time voters- 16 or under at 2017

first time voters -never voted before, disenchanted by Blair years whilst

removing Tory support -loss of voters due to old age

=> Lab will gain 100+ seats from Tories alone

crazy stat- 1/3 of retail traders in Thailand trades crypto 😳

This week in Thailand, I had some great convos with @AsiaTezos and @SSrinawakoon from @bandprotocol , along with a number of locals about the prospects of SoutheastAsia (SEA) crypto and Thailand. Thread 🤓
2/ I've been interested in Thailand since last yr and coined it one of the most interesting crypto countries in Southeast Asia: techcrunch.com/2018/08/31/tha…

It also struck me that the Thai Bhat and #bitcoin have similar symbols? anyone else noticed this? pop quiz NOW 🧐
3/ Since regulators permitted ICOs last year, there's been a # of reverse ICOs. Many of the companies probably didn't need a coin, but Thai SEC's overarching tone thus far has been open and welcoming of crypto financial "innovations" such as token issuances and project financing

In the Wisconsin Democratic primary for Paul Ryan's seat, the bandwagon jumped on style with nary a moment's pause to look into the substance.

The result: a Dem front-runner who is a Republican oppo fantasy candidate. More baggage than a carousel at LaGuardia.

The full story from WaPo on the first of the only two debates candidate Randy "Ironstache" Bryce has agreed to participate in against his rival, Cathy Myers.

It didn't go well for Bryce.

washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…
In a district where we need a dragon-slayer, we're poised to nominate a zombie candidate:

A candidate already limping south in the polls in a race where the tide already runs red.

If nominated, Bryce will face months of withering, brutal pummeling in negative campaign ads.

Trading is a difficult & specialized skill to learn.

I don’t get the logic of so many people choosing trading as a vocation within crypto: it adds a layer of risk to an already risky sector, takes time & skill and is very unlikely to generate Alpha over the broad sector or BTC.
In other words, unless you genuinely want to have a long term profession as a full time trader, don’t waste time following experts on charts, instead follow the best minds and create a thesis for where the overall industry is going, make long term investments, not trades.
If a crypto project works it will go up a lot. If it doesn’t it will go to zero — decisions about what to buy with a long term thesis are WAY more a factor to success than trying to put trade the other traders

**The Fall of California**
The “Golden State” Goes Brown.

1. California isn’t just a place, but a dream.
2. In the American mythos, California represented the end of the journey, the land where the dispossessed & forgotten could start again, where “Okies” who fled the Depression searched for relief & veterans of the WWII discovered a middle-class paradise.
3. And what’s most incredible is that, for a time, that is exactly what California, USA was for so many American Citizens.
