From the @WSJ article, “Why Is the Federal Reserve Always Surprised by Inflation? The central bank owes the public an explanation—and a serious effort to correct its flawed model.” #economy #markets #centralbanks #econtwitter #federalreserve
Almost any way you slice it, inflation has been re-accelerating over the past three months.
"It sends a really strong message to the rest of the team that people are going through stuff, leaving, and nothing is going to change." WashU WBB struggles with retention, program left former players feeling "disposable" and "demoralized" studlife.com/sports/2024/04… #d3hoops
Yep. Hate speech is abhorrent, but it is protected by the First Amendment, despite what the governor of Texas and assorted illiberal leftists claim.

@McPherSTL @NPR @nytimes @stlpublicradio @McPherSTL - Specific demographic information is not publicly available, but what is publicly available is @stlpublicradio's weekly audience, which was 206,300 in March 2018 and 132,800 in March 2024. That would be a loss of one-third of their audience in six years.

Bought tix on SeatGeek for tonight’s @Cardinals game. Home Field Box. Stupidly cheap. Obviously when Cards don’t draw well, it’s another worrying sign for Downtown #StLouis. Going early to buy as much food/booze as possible from downtown places. (And to see tribute to Whitey.)

@McPherSTL It’s interesting that the AT&T Tower price is so low, folks speculate the buyer is somehow assuming additional debt in the purchase. Not true at all. The tower has consistently traded now, multiple times, for under $5M. There is no additional debt assumed by the buyers. That is…

Ever since 2020, the world feels strange, —it’s visceral—like I’m walking around on a foreign planet. There are pockets of relative normality only when I’m around a few people I can really trust. I don’t know what to do about this except pray, make music and resist giving into…

Q. Why is Gaza like #14 in issue polling of young people while we get wall to wall coverage of protests at Columbia? A. Because the cohort of students that goes to a school like Columbia represents literally *1%* of college-age people. (Chart from Party of the People.)

One of the metrics I use to know whether I’m helping defend speech in a principled and thoroughly non-partisan way, is whether I get repeatedly called both a right winger and a communist on the same day. By that measure, it’s another solid week in the books.
Any humane person should feel sympathy for the people of Gaza. I completely reject any notion that I don’t speak out on their behalf. The Gazan people do not deserve death. They deserve life. I oppose jihadism precisely because I value human life.
