Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately.

He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.

Tech bro oligarch: The AI is... real... sentient.... it's feeling real feelings... we must do everything we can to protect it and give it rights
Also tech bro oligarch: Human females are basically cattle made to push out as many babies as possible, all of which I will neglect

say it louder for the people at the back:

Scholars are actually the ones who want coherence. Most people don't.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

A rectangular oil painting that features what appears to be a child’s body in a red empire-style dress with a white ruff and the head of an orange cat. The cat is wearing a crown and has a large cigarette dangling out of its mouth as it stares at us dispassionately. The background is mostly baby puke green with castle turrets visible at right and some bare tree branches in the top corners. Truly this is the most extraordinary piece of art I have ever seen

oh good! I only know Master & Margarita; maybe I’ll read Dog’s Heart when/if I get the e-reader back from her

Me: Hey for our trip, are there any books you want me to get for the e-reader?

Kiddo: Yeah there are a couple I’ve had my eye on, I’ll add them to the cart

The books were A Dog’s Heart by Bulgakov and On Photography by Susan Sontag

Kids are a continual surprise and delight

The end result of this data is a report that falls under SEC regulatory rules so I am absolutely not letting AI hallucinations anywhere near it

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness, I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.

mind, KKR seems to be doing responsible markdowns / valuations in FSK and they’re getting pasted too

unfortch on the HY/unrated side these private credit funds/BDCs all have a lot of weak sponsor-owned services rollups and mid software companies

Yeah BLK just zeroed another high yield private credit loan that was, like Renovo, 100 the quarter beforeβ€”but unlike Renovo it’s only a little’un ($25m to an Amazon aggregator). The hero to zero shuffle twice in a row is uhhh not confidence building

Please don’t spread misinformation. Tomahawks fly at low altitude. It’s climbing like a THAAD interceptor (we are out of interceptors).

Annnd JPM’s got that $15.5 bn EA loan which is going to be a goddamn disaster

Which apparently they’re now trying to do mostly as junk bonds now
