Multiple independent reports (Bloomberg, Graphika, Antibot4Navalny) and recent US intelligence briefings to Congress document a Russian-linked operation (Matryoshka/Operation Overload) producing AI deepfake celebrity videos and fabricated news clips that attack Democratic candidates and inflate engagement via bots ahead of the November midterms.

The average real return is ~8.6%.
But the standard deviation is 18.2%!
So most years fall roughly between: +26.8% – 9.6%
This is why it's actually such an injustice to simply tell beginners that the average market return is around 8.5% without giving them the full picture.
The market is far more volatile than most acknowledge, and more volatile than beginners are ready to handle.
I hate private equity.
Like, genuinely HATE it.
Not investing. Not business. I hate the specific model where a firm borrows money to buy a company, puts that debt on the company's books, pays itself fees out of the profits, and walks away rich whether it survives or not.
Toys R Us was profitable when they bought it. $5 billion in debt later, 33,000 people were out of work with zero severance.
The firms didn't lose. They never do. The debt isn't theirs.
Nobody's saying capitalism is the problem.
I'm saying there's a version of it where you can bankrupt a company on purpose, and it's legal, and it works every time.

🚨Kylian Mbappé share message Cristiano Ronaldo sent him after France booked their place in the World Cup Semi-finals.
🗣️The first message I received after the match was from Cristiano Ronaldo.
He wrote: 'Congratulations, Kylian. Missing a penalty and still finding the strength to score is what champions do. The greatest players are not remembered because they never failed they're remembered because they always responded. Keep believing. France needs your leadership. Good luck for the rest of the tournament.'
🗣️Receiving that message meant more to me than people can imagine. Growing up, Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't just my favourite player he was my idol. To me, he was like a god. I spent countless hours watching his matches, studying every movement, every goal, every celebration and every sacrifice he made to become the greatest.
🗣️A huge part of the footballer I am today comes from everything I learned by watching Cristiano. His mentality taught me that talent alone is never enough hard work, discipline and resilience are what create legends.
🗣️To receive words of encouragement from the man who inspired my dream is something I'll carry with me forever.

This is Ben Rice’s 21st HR
Vlad Jr, just hit his 4th HR yesterday and currently leads all AL first basemen in votes to start the All Star Game.
Let’s change that, Yankee fans. 🗳️

My joy in this title winning is that NOBODY will say they carried this team to win it. This title belongs to everyone. And I mean EVERYONE.
Yes, Rice was elite.
Raya was elite.
Gabriel and Saliba were elite.
Timber was elite. Five players you point to and say — these are the best five this season. Fine.
But let me ask you something.
Do we win this title if Martinelli doesn't score that last-second equalizer against Man City?
Do we win it if Eze doesn't produce two maverick performances against Spurs to kill them off?
Do we win it if Saka doesn't score that one clinical goal against Brighton at the Amex — one goal, 1-0, job done?
Do we win it if Ødegaard doesn't come on and, like a man possessed, creates something from absolutely nothing? Do we win it without Trossard's goal against West Ham? Those two guys stepping up when it mattered most?
Do we win if Max Dowman doesnt come off the bench against Everton and wins us the game?
Do we win if Madueke doesn't score against Brentford (1-1) to keep the pressure on City?
Do we win if Merino — despite the whole world screaming "don't bring him on" — doesn't come on at St James' Park and scores the goal that wins it. Against chelsea to score the equaliser when they were ten men?
Do we win if Zubimendi doesn't score those two bangers against Nottingham Forest to help us put them to the sword 3-0.
And remember the beginning? Calafiori. Set piece. 1-0. Day one, telling us exactly what kind of season this was going to be. Do we win if not for him?
Then Zubimendi gasses out and Myles Lewis-Skelly walks into the team like he's been here for years.
Do we win if Kai Havertz didn't score from a corner, 1-0 against Burnley — doing exactly what the team needed.?
When Calafiori got injured. When Timber got injured. Do we survive without Mosquera and Hincapié coming in and performing at a level nobody expected? Do we survive without Ben White?
And even beyond all that — Jesus, Nwaneri — they weren't the league's critical performers, but they were around. They took the load off in cup competitions. They kept people fresh. They mattered.
This is what I find so incredibly beautiful about this title.
Nobody carried it. Nobody can look at this squad and say "I did that." Because everyone did that. From the starter who kept a clean sheet to the sub who came on for 15 minutes and scored. From the academy kid who nobody expected to the veteran who showed up when the season needed him most.
This is not a one-man trophy. This is not even a five-man trophy.
This is 25 men, a manager, a coaching staff, and a culture — all deciding in the same moment that this is the year.
Good old-fashioned football. A team sport. Beautiful, mehn.

Jerome Powell: The Fed is concerned about the very, very low level of job creation. Over the past 6 months, if you adjust for overcounting, there is effectively zero net job creation in the private sector.
