1/Great first day of presentations and meeting new people at @TheCapitalCamp. As an example, I met Jace Pando (@pandocole) who just got out of HS last year, but instead of going right to colleage headed to Kenya to work on projects to help improve the country.
2/ He's next heading to Hungary to do similar work. He found out about @TheCapitalCamp right here on #FinTwit. I think this is one of the best features of @Twitter, as I also got to see lots of friends that I met here first. It's things like this that I think show
3/ off the best potential for our #FinTwit community.

Well done @patrick_oshag and @BrentBeshore and the great team that made this happen!
*college. Glad I already graduated.

1/ I drove my wife's car to work today and she had NPR news on the radio. I listened for a few minutes and confirmed my bias: The "news" is designed to enrage you, make you emotional and encourage you to think your beliefs and biases are the actual truth and not just your

1/ The Tao Can Help You When Contemplating The Dow—Part 3

In verse 20 of the “Tao Te Ching,” Lao Tzu tells us that having too many thoughts and opinions can make us troubled and anxious.
2/ “Listen, give up trying to be so learned and things will go a lot easier…Between yay and nay how much difference is there? Is there really much difference between being angry and pretending not to be? What others fear I must also fear.”
3/ And we come by it naturally. Jed McKenna says"
“Humans are fear-based creatures. We are primarily emotional and our ruling emotion is fear…and [almost] all fear is fear of the unknown.”

Thus, our constant craving for forecasts, reasons, and arguments for why the

1/ funny story: a guy responsible for hiring interns approaches is assistant with 50 applications. He randomly selects 25 and throws them in the trash, giving the other 25 to his assistant and telling him to go through them and select 5 interns. The assistant asks “did you go
2/ through the 25 you threw out?” The guy responds no, I didn’t. The assistant then asks “why did you throw them out them out” and the guy answers “because I don’t hire unlucky people.”
Reminds me of “No Country for Old Men” villain

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I have had PDs mentor grad students. It's important to check with both to make sure the mentoring is going well. Also let the student know the PD won't write the letter of Rec if the student doesn't want that.
Also, to any PD who abuses students this way: you suck. Stop. Never joke to an international student about deportation. It's not funny, ever. If you are someone who sees this behavior, don't encourage it, and if possible, report it.
Student 15: I felt that my MS advisor was verbally abusive. I frequently felt like a failure and it made it so that I was scared to go to him if something went wrong. Which of course made him more mad. 1/3

Great achievements in CNN chyrons, 2018 edition. A thread.

A couple of these I snapped myself. Most of them I stole from Twitter over the last year and have no idea who to credit. For that I apologize. 1/
This guy is the "Must Be Aliens" meme except for people who think their tweets about Eisenhower and the 25th amendment are real life. 2/
In this chyron, CNN cites CNN as source for news that Trump refuses "to claim any personal responsibility" for lunatic serial bomber. 3/

Right now the Left in the media and the political arena is making a desperate bid to DIVIDE Trump supporters by race.

"You can't POSSIBLY want THOSE people to come join your lilly white, whites first, save the white race MAGA movement! ADMIT IT! YOU DON'T WANT THEM HERE!"
Well f**k you, Lefties. I DO WANT THEM HERE. I'LL TAKE'EM. I'LL TAKE'EM ALL.

Every Black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, whatever. I DON'T SEE SKIN COLOR.

You've lied about MAGA for going on 4 years now. "It's a white people thing." you claimed.

No, you're dead wrong
MAGA is an AMERICAN thing, not a 'white people' thing.

And Americans come in all colors, genders, classes.

Even when I was Never Trump I was pointing out most of these Alt Right white supremacist accounts were really Leftists trying to fool people into equating Trump = racist
