Me: [Mixes a stiff drink]
Wife: You know it's only Wednesday.
Me: Everybody's a critic.
Wife: Huh?
Me: You're on me about this after being on me about the coffee.
Wife: The coffee?
Me: [realizes I had the coffee conversation entirely in my own head]. Uhh, nothing. I love you.

I'm really pissed @DestinyTheGame Reddit has never given me stock tips, just Xur locations.

"I really need to get a good night's sleep. I've been having trouble getting good rest." -- he said while finishing a 3 hour old cup of coffee at 6:55.

@ElieNYC

I will believe this in 2023 and not before.

My kid DEFINITELY needs this. He's one of those

Teacher: And that's why Martin Luther
My Kid: IT'S 10:46 AND THIS CLASS WAS SUPPOSED TO END AT 10:45!!"

I'm listening in for tips on what I should be telling him to help. :)

@ElieNYC

My 8yo's remote school lesson today is, literally, "how to read the room."

I love it. LOVE IT. I will back up this lesson with home learning later this week. :)

@ElieNYC

Related: My 8yo suggested that we stop calling Trump "The Mean President" in our house, because he is no longer president. He suggested instead "He who must not be named."

It works.

[Next week]
Legal writers: Here's all the ways @ewarren would have stopped this Gamestop BS.
Finance Writers: Boo! Stop talking about the she-witch.
Republicans: Biased Socialist Writer Alert!
Dems: SHE LOST, stop trying to make fetch happen!
Progressives: Bernie would have won.

@ElieNYC

(sorry, the *backstory* here is that finance writers, as a rule, get paid WAY MORE than legal writers. There's tons more of them, entire publications and television networks devoted to their craft. Legal writers just cover, you know, AN ENTIRE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. No biggie.)

@ElieNYC

Legal writers: Which attack on the American system of justice and fairness should I write about today?
Finance writers: GAMESTOP
Legal writers: wut?
Finance writers: GAMESTOP. MARKET MANIPULATION. GET YO LEARN ON!
Everybody: [clickity click click]
Legal writers: fucking shoot me.

@ElieNYC

My wife just translated @matt_levine's "market boredom" theory of Signal (and linked it to Gamestop) in words that I can understand (sometime I can't understand Matt in the original Matt), and now I want them to collaborate on a whole television series around this topic.

THANK YOU. JESUS CHRIST.

Cause beyond the lack of science in the previous administration, it was the MAGICAL FREAKING THINKING that has gotten so many people killed.
