Hanlon's razor is great, but outdated. Will be posting on Thursday about how to reimagine Hanlon's razor for modern times.

Great read.

First, the dissection of Ackman's tweet. If X is so great, why doesn't Pershing Square Capital Management advertise on it? He could get all that MAGA investment money...what they don't spend on fentanyl, meth, opioids, or guns.

Second, Hanlon's Razor is just Occam's Razor focused entirely on stupidity.

Third, the Lifehouse joke was terrific.

Last, THIS: My dad's Israeli and my mom's Russian so that’s why I love to bomb.

Thank you.

come on, it is sort of fun to see someone tell Bob Iger, CEO of virtue-preening Disney to go fuck himself on TV, isn't It?
