  1. AMZN going ham after hours. Blowout earnings report.
  2. Anyone besides me excited for Season 2 of Sweet Tooth, which drops Thursday? Been almost 2 years since Season 1. Currently done with first 3 episodes of Beef. Enjoying it thoroughly.
  3. If you were a fan of old-school JRPGs back in the SNES days, definitely pick up Chained Echoes for Switch. Currently $21 on the Nintendo Store. Easily 50+ hours of gameplay. Fun, but challenging. There's also another much-hyped retro throwback RPG coming out in August that looks promising.
  4. Hah, was just joking with some buddies at work about how there's probably gonna be well over a million angry boomers that don't follow Twitter or anything settling in to get their Tucker fix this evening and blowing a gasket.
  5. Guerrilla Games rather casually announced over the weekend that there will be at least one more Horizon game. In a press release about internal promotions, they said
  6. She arguably caused more damage to FNC in the Dominion case than anyone.
  7. On the opposite side of the coin, CNN just shit-canned Don Lemon.
  8. He signed off what ended up being his final show on Friday saying he'd be back this week. Apparently they were still airing promos for his show this morning. Something happened in the last few hours.
  9. Yep, Dusty addressed this in his presser. Stanton was talking about during one of the inning breaks too.
  10. This is honestly one of the funniest things to ever happen in politics. I mean, this is "Arrested Development in its prime" caliber comedy writing.
  11. Games like last night are what make it all worthwhile. Hell of a night at MMP. Best version of Garcia I've ever seen. Abreu's Houdini act was incredible and then the 2-out rally in the 8th to put the game on ice was so much fun. Lots of high-fives to strangers. I was literally shaking my client I took, yelling "that's fucking gone!" on Pena's dinger.
  12. Tucker staying in. Probably out after this AB and off tomorrow, one would assume.
  13. Yeah, I've heard the $70B number since the initial story leaked as well. That's a spicy meatball.
  14. It's called the club level.
  15. PPI tanked last month. YOY at 2.7% is lowest reading in ages.
  16. That's the 4th time this season where the score was either tied to start the 9th, or we came from behind to tie up in the 9th. Lost all 4.
  17. HCAD hitting everybody in Houston with the max this year.
  18. Yep, I said last week that Bregman's timing was totally off. His hardest hit line drives have all gone foul. When he gets hittable pitches, he's swinging early.
  19. Looks like you can get the PS5 version of Fallen Order for $20 at Walmart of Best Buy or for $29 on Amazon. I doubt you "need" to have played it to enjoy Jedi Survivor (most AAA sequels these days have a recap for people who missed the original), but it's a good game and worth playing on its own.
  20. Final trailer out yesterday.
  21. Another day, another perfect opportunity to repost this:
  22. Markets seem to think there's traction on the XOM deal. PXD stock up 6% today.
  23. Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) = CLF/CNP Civilian Labor Force (CLF) = All persons 16 or older that are considered employed or unemployed. Basically all persons that are either working or looking for/available to work. CLF excludes people who choose not to work (including retirees), have given up on looking for work, and people unable to work. Civilian Non-Institutional Population (CNP) = All persons age 16 or older, excluding active duty military, incarcerated persons, and those in residential care facilities. So, to answer your question, LFPR is effected negatively by disability. Per BLS, only like 21% of persons with a disability are employed. The remaining 79% do not work and have either no ability to work or any intent to work, and are not considered part of the labor force. While that sounds dramatic, the same holds true for non-disabled. The vast majority of persons considered "not in the labor force", whether disabled or not, have no intent to be employed and are not looking for work. We're at historically low levels of U-6 unemployment, which is currently 6.7%. All time low was 6.5% back in December. U-6 is the "regular" headline unemployment (3.5%) plus individuals who would like to work but have given up looking, and individuals working part-time that want, but are unable to find, full-time employment. By comparison, U-6 was up to almost 17% in the depths of the GFC in 2009, and took close to 6 years to get below 10.0%. It stood at 7.0% in February 2020 before COVID.
  24. There's usually 1 or 2 times each season where we go through a rough patch and just can't seem to figure out how to win, and I decide to quit watching on TV until I see that we had an easy W. I simply get tired of spending my leisure time being frustrated. Rarely ever lasts more than a game or two. Not sure it's ever happened 9 games into the season. Woof.
