I think we about 2 months out from a named medical condition, this person is on the verge of a nervous breakdown because she is white, straight, and smart enough to get into a good school. I feel like my literal existence hurts people, like I’m always taking up space that should belong to someone else. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/style/white-guilt-privilege.html

I don't see them coming back from this, but I do think it'll be net positive because they showed the big theater chains there is a market for this sort of subscription product, and they'll come up with their own versions.

recently saw some interesting evidence that many of the shifts may be counterproductive or at best a wash: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/40088/baseball-therapy-how-beat-shift/ i take the hypothesis it with a grain of salt because everything is situational and this data doesn't take that into account, aggregation can really make you see things that aren't there. but basically this analysis implies that shifts decrease singles but also increase walks. because the pitcher changes his approach -- doesn't throw certain pitches, stays inside, "feels uncomfortable" etc -- while the batter also changes his approach -- tries to get a pitch to hit over the shift. maybe a walk is better than a strikeout, but your pitcher is also throwing more pitches.

Got his period a little early?

there is long term value in here, somewhere, but the bubble has definitely burst: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-29/bitcoin-falls-below-5-900-to-wrap-up-a-gloomy-2018-first-half
