Quite you say? I’ll give you quite. I don’t do cheesy music. When I’m pounding the sand burning off the tequila and the virus I’m listening to Mr Motivator by IDLES...here’s what I hear

Repeat after me
I am I
And I intend to go go go
Like Conor McGregor with a samurai sword and roller blades Like a hedge funder declaring he’s morally and intellectually bankrupt on his sunny Caribbean island
How d’you like them clichés???
Now turning to end of week stuff. Don’t stop the game and don’t protect #hedgefundelite. Buying crappy co.s and bidding them to preposterous valuations is almost DaDaism and the kind of nihilism you find around fin de siècles or at least in The Joker movie.
But more’s going on. These stocks ain’t random. They all conform to patterns of absurdity that i professionally engaged in. I posted examples on my insta account this week. And shorting Nokia - Mr douche bag Hedgie - to buy Ericsson is just lame i.m.o
gamestock is like someone studied the Netflix transformation from vendor of videos from a vending m/c to global digital platform and went hmm...I could spin that? The fable of the dumb jocksters is cute...but maybe disingenuous
They’re using my, and other’s, charting skill set. As you may or may not know, I’m a sucker for stocks that have endured bear markets. Where memories are long and unforgiving. I love when they scrape along the bottom of the screen for decades.
But i especially love it when they flicker into life and stop recording absolute price lows and start taking out 3/5/10 yr price highs. I always buy a little. Like Jesse Livermore, I just want to know what it feels like to own the stuff discarded by the many.
I bought some Nokia last May or so. I was intrigued by the take-down of Huawei. I knew there was going to be a huge 5G capex cycle and that the industry had consolidated. I knew that related stocks with proximity to 5G spending all looked identical - that’s all i knew.
That something’s brewing...
This was my investment idea. It could have been my submission for my hedge fund game if you could ever persuade me to start it. You could find these chart patterns. You could tell me the narrative. I would give you my opinion in return.
Nokia surged $4 to $10 in a day and many claimed the sun was going to burn out. BTC from 10K to 40k, not in a day, but rapidly and wise men said all is well. I don’t see the difference. If BTC ever hits 25k before making new highs I’ll buy some just as happily as i buy other shit
And yes it’s preposterous to look at charts and Nokia ain’t never going to challenge that all time high but here in SBH i like to dine in busy restaurants - good stuff tends to happen. Or maybe this is the bell ringing and my insolvency awaits... How you like them clichés...

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
@bellingcat's attempt in their new book, published by
@BloomsburyBooks, to coverup the @OPCW #Douma controversy, promote US and UK gov. war narratives, and whitewash fraudulent conduct within the OPCW, is an exercise in deception through omission. @BloomsburyPub @Tim_Hayward_


1) 2000 words are devoted to the OPCW controversy regarding the alleged chemical weapon attack in #Douma, Syria in 2018 but critical material is omitted from the book. Reading it, one would never know the following:

2) That the controversy started when the original interim report, drafted and agreed by Douma inspection team members, was secretly modified by an unknown OPCW person who had manipulated the findings to suggest an attack had occurred. https://t.co/QtAAyH9WyX… @RobertF40396660


3) This act of attempted deception was only derailed because an inspector discovered the secret changes. The manipulations were reported by @ClarkeMicah
and can be readily observed in documents now available https://t.co/2BUNlD8ZUv….

4) @bellingcat's book also makes no mention of the @couragefoundation panel, attended by the @opcw's first Director General, Jose Bustani, at which an OPCW official detailed key procedural irregularities and scientific flaws with the Final Douma Report:
