    Near-term Fed hike odds just got pushed out. Markets are ripping. Here’s what’s real and what’s noise. 🧵 Money markets still project a Fed hike in 2026 - just not before December. That’s the shift driving today’s rally. Not “no hike.” A later hike. The S&P is rising toward a record, on pace for its best week since April. The Nasdaq 100 is up about 1%. The dollar is falling. Short-dated Treasuries are outperforming. Buy the delay, not the dovishness. Here’s the part that matters more long term: The Magnificent 7’s valuation premium over the S&P 500 has fallen to its lowest level in a decade from a typical 30% premium down to roughly 10%. Combined, they’re still worth $22.7 trillion — 23.5% of the entire market. Same dominance. Historically cheap relative price. That combination doesn’t last long. Under the hood, the group has split into two camps — Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet and Meta leading the rebound, while Tesla, Microsoft and Apple have trailed. “Mag 7” is a label now, not one trade. I own Microsoft. I own Tesla. Neither one is riding the same wave as Nvidia right now and that’s exactly why I watch them individually, not as a basket. $SPY $MSFT $TSLA $NVDA

    I had read multiple articles recently about how Masters of the Universe was now the top movie streaming on Amazon Prime after being a massive box office flop earlier this summer. My family and I were actually planning to watch it in the theater, but instead watched other movies like Disclosure Day, Backrooms, and Obsession first. When we decided to go watch Masters of the Universe we found it had already exited theaters. Now that it is on Prime, my family and I watched the movie yesterday. Overall, the movie is not great, but as a streaming movie it is actually quite good. Our favorite character in the movie was Skeletor. Jared Leto did a great job playing this character and capturing his personality from the original cartoon. Teela played by Camila Mendes I also found to be quite good and not the girl boss I was expecting her character to be. Idris Elba plays Man-At-Arms well when he was allowed to depict him correctly. For a large chunk of the movie he is a hopeless drunk which was disappointing to see. I thought the weakest character was He-Man himself, played by Nicholas Galitzine, which was probably the biggest problem with this movie. He was good playing Prince Adam, but when he converts to He-Man they should have cast someone else who has the over-the-top muscle physique like Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the day. Galitzine is muscular, but nowhere near as big as most people envision He-Man as being. Another problem with the movie was the running time of 2 hours and 20 minutes. This movie should have been 1 hour and 45 minutes or less. There was too much filler content in this movie. I also think there was too much attempts at humor in the movie as well. I don't mind some humor, but I think this movie just had too many attempts at the Marvel-style humor that took away from the immersion into the story. Some of the humor you had to have watched the He-Man cartoons to understand, which meant I had to keep explaining it to my kids during the movie. On the plus side, the movie does look great. With a $200 million budget, it should have top-notch CGI and sets. However, that budget did not translate to box office success as it only made $131 million globally. The movie has found streaming success which shows that it does have a fan-base, but not one willing to spend money on movie tickets. The movie ends with a setup for a sequel, so it will be interesting to see if Amazon funds one. Considering the absolutely horrid projects Amazon has funded (Rings of Power I am looking at you!), Masters of the Universe should get a second movie. If it does get a sequel, hopefully its producers learn from the mistakes of this film. Regardless, I enjoyed this film enough that I would definitely be willing to watch a sequel.

    @siddharth_iitm It had in early days. Now they are just an election winning machine. In Amazon, they say good intentions don't work, mechanisms do. And this Govt. has wonderfully cracked the mechanism of winning elections. That's it. That's the issue. It's not that there would not have been any alternative options. They have never allowed an alternative to come. They wipe them off.

    @CuriousPejjy I’m worried about our Tesla future mate! All the other Tesla influencers are spruiking this merger but are glossing over the MASSIVE Capex plans for SpaceX compared to what Tesla needs. We need a lot of money to build the world wide robotaxi and Semi fleet but SpaceX needs Much More for space based AI compute and the moon mass driver. I havnt heard anyone break down the cost of this, and if we stumble into this merger ALL of the combined profit from our two companies might be reinvesting into Capx for 20 years! No profit or dividends means the share price will stay much lower than it would be otherwise. Just like with Amazon, the share price will appreciate when the investment phase is done and the company starts printing cash

    OpenAI just shipped "Agent Plugins" a vendor-neutral standard for bundling skills + MCP server configs into portable plugins. Backed by Amazon, Microsoft, Cursor, and Vercel on day one. This is the MCP-everywhere play. One plugin format, every agent. The same shift npm did for Node packages. If you're building MCP servers, your distribution surface just went from "Claude + Cursor" to "every agent."

    @seiyaisbored There wasn’t any confirmation of it, but I’m assuming that’s part of why Amazon/A24 cracked down on official artists’ merch. The decison was multifaceted, I’m sure, but some fans were putting too much stock into individual artists’s ships as insight into the canon trajectory

    The real cost of selling on a marketplace or on Booking is not the 15 percent commission. It is that the customer ends up registered under someone else's name, and the second purchase pays the same toll as the first. What you do control is the moment of delivery. The guest who just checked in, the buyer who just opened the box. That is where you have a legitimate reason to ask for an email: the neighborhood guide you actually wrote, the warranty registration, the care instructions for the product. You are not scraping the platform or buying a list, you are asking with permission in exchange for something the platform does not hand out. Two warnings, because this is where most people fall over. Amazon prohibits inserts that divert traffic and Airbnb does not let you move an existing booking off platform, so the play is always the next booking, never the current one. And the metric is not open rate. It is what share of this month's revenue came in with no commission attached. If that number is still zero after six months, the list is not working, it is just stored.

    @DKThomp No. This study is about self published books on Amazon, which are often non-physical. So volume matters: cheap slop in a series means more books in a series but this is a rounding error in publishing

    @RealDrVenkman The dialogue was dumbed down intensely. I'm actually surprised there wasn't a brainrot reference in that opening. It attacks masculinity right out of the gate. The 80s cartoon does not exist in a vacuum. The mini comics were great, and the 2002 He-Man was such a success that Netflix and Amazon are still mimicking that animation style to this day.

    @WeinerBarf420 @NeptuneACX1000 Yes on the vets! Interesting tidbit. We’ve been through several vets for our two dogs, all being bought up by PE and all raising prices drastically and pushing more expensive treatments and medications for our healthy animals on their checkups. We kept switching to a family owned vet only to have them be unable to compete and sell out. Well money got tight, as it is for so many, so we just stopped taking them for their annuals, vowing to only go if they had a pressing medical need. One of the things we had them on were these expensive monthly combo chews for fleas, worms, etc. Was costing us $75/month per dog, so $150/ month total. So expensive and then we realized we were literally poisoning their blood stream with insecticide so fleas and parasites wouldn’t stay. We stopped the chews. Turns out healthy dogs rarely get worms etc and our eco friendly pest service sprays the yard they spend most of their time in for fleas as part of our $50/month service. When we go for a walk outside of the house we rub a little peppermint or lavender oil on their fur. No fleas. No worms. No parasites. No nothing. Going on two years now. We live in South Carolina too. Not like fleas and bugs aren’t a big thing here. I can’t believe we spent that kind of money thinking our dogs and home would be infested with fleas of we’re didn’t only to stop it and… nothing! 😡 Also, one of our dogs is senior. A golden lab mix who was 12 at the time. They wanted to do dozens of repeating tests, put her on pills, schedule bi-weekly visits etc. all at exorbitant costs. Told us we were neglectful to her aging needs if we didn’t submit and that she’d die in pain if we didn’t. We walked away. Found a collagen chew on Amazon for her hip arthritis to replace the $80/month prescription that gave her digestive issues (with another recommended pill and monthly tests for that!) and it works wonderfully at $15/month with no side effects. That’s it. Then we just love her and take care of her without all the medicalization of simple aging. She’s almost 14 now still with us, still happy, going slower in her age but doing well. Just taking the inexpensive collagen chews. Whether it’s our dogs or ourselves, my family does better staying away from corporate medicine.

    @EricLDaugh Problem with this is that people rent their accounts, (Amazon Flex, Uber, Lyft, Door Dash, etc) on Facebook Marketplace. There’s no telling who is providing the service. Someone who can’t pass a background check can just rent another person’s account.

    Day 7: The hidden mechanics behind hitting $2,000+ per month on Amazon KDP. Most self-publishers struggle because they treat Amazon like a normal bookstore. Successful publishers know that Amazon is actually a search engine, and its main goal is to protect the customer experience. Generating $2,088 in royalties from 151 orders in a few days averages out to about $13 net profit on every single book sold. Reaching these numbers consistently comes down to three strict publishing rules that most beginners ignore: High-margin pricing. If you price a non-fiction book at $2.99, you have to sell over 1,000 copies to make $2,000. When you solve a specific problem for the reader, you can price the book higher. Selling just 150 copies with a $13 profit margin gives you the exact same revenue with much less effort. Clean metadata. Amazon scans your title, subtitle, and backend keywords to show your book to buyers. Stuffing your subtitle with extra search words will only trigger automated review flags and put your account at risk. Keep your subtitle clean and put your search terms where they belong in the backend slots. Niche targeting. Broad titles put you head-to-head with major publishing companies that have massive advertising budgets. Focusing on specific buyer groups allows your book to capture high-intent traffic without wasting money. Consistent revenue depends on smart unit economics, clean metadata, and targeting the right readers.

    @drealstephen Friend of Allan’s, and fellow designer, here. The issue here is that big money clients view privacy as a must. Sure, a creative might land some lower budget projects from something like this but a Pepsi, Google, Nike, Amazon, etc. they’re going to view this as a potential 🚩.

    I stopped ************ and quit watching porn. Here are the honest reasons why I stopped. I am not writing this to preach. I am not writing this to shame anyone. I am writing this because for years I watched something quietly dismantle me from the inside, And nobody around me had the language for what was happening. These are the reasons I stopped. The real ones. 1. It was stealing my mornings. Not just the time. The version of me that was supposed to show up that morning never came. What came instead was fog. Heaviness. A man half present in his own life. I kept wondering why my days felt wasted before they even started. Then I understood. They were being decided the night before. On that screen. 2. It was making me a stranger to my own ambition. I had goals. Real ones. But they kept feeling distant. Slightly unreal. Like memories of a person I used to be. I did not understand why I could not sustain effort toward the things that mattered to me. Then I learned what chronic dopamine drainage does to drive. It does not just slow you down. It makes you forget what moving felt like. 3. It was making me perform instead of live. Sharp on the outside. Rotting on the inside. Laughing in rooms while carrying something heavy enough to bend a man. The gap between who I was publicly and who I was privately, Was becoming a canyon. And living on both sides of a canyon simultaneously, Is one of the loneliest things a man can do. 4. It was making real intimacy feel insufficient. Not because anything was wrong with the person in front of me. Because my brain had been conditioned by something no real person could compete with. I was physically present in my relationships. But something essential was always somewhere else. That is not fair to anyone. Least of all to me. 5. Every relapse was making me trust myself less. It was doing so very quietly. Every broken promise to myself deposited something into an account I did not know I was building. An account of evidence that I could not be trusted. Not by anyone else. But by me. And a man who does not trust himself, Cannot lead anything that matters. Not a family. Not a business. Not his own life. 6. It was answering questions I needed to sit with. Every time life felt heavy... uncertain, directionless, painful, I had a place to go that made the feeling stop immediately. But the questions never got answered. They just waited. Growing louder. Requiring more of the addiction to silence them each time. A man who never sits with his own questions, Never finds his own answers. And a man without answers stays lost. 7. The man I was becoming was not the man I wanted to be. That is the simplest way I can say it. Every day inside that addiction I was casting a vote. For comfort over purpose. For escape over presence. For the screen over my own life. And votes accumulate. I looked up one day and saw the man those votes had been building. I did not recognise him. That was the day everything changed. I stopped ************ because I finally understood something. The addiction was not just a habit I needed to break. It was a direction I needed to stop walking in. Every man walking in that direction is walking away from something. His focus. His presence. His purpose. His potential. The man he was built to become. I decided to turn around. That decision cost me everything the addiction had promised me. And gave me back everything it had taken. I wrote a book about this turning point. Every reason in this thread goes ten times deeper inside it. The biology. The cost. The recovery. Written by a man who lived every word of it. It is called The Lost. If you are still struggling with quiting porn and ************, this book will be your greatest weapon and best ally in this fight this addiction. It is priced at ₦3,000 on Selar. And $4.99 on Amazon. Link in my bio. The turn is waiting for you too.

    @KobeissiLetter ……….According to the official FactSet Earnings Insight report released today, with 88% of S&P 500 companies having officially reported their Q2 2026 financial results, the index has indeed posted a +50.4% year-over-year earnings growth rate. This massive surge completely doubled Wall Street's original expectations of +23.1%. * The baseline comparison: A "year-over-year" calculation compares the money companies made during this exact three-month period (April to June 2026) to the exact same three-month period last year (April to June 2025). * The 1.5x Multiplier: A +50.4% growth rate means that for every $100 in total net profit these major corporations pooled together last summer, they brought in roughly $150.40 this summer. To put this into perspective, this is a historically rare corporate profit boom. * A Five-Year High: If 50.4% holds as the final number, it will mark the highest corporate earnings growth rate reported by the S&P 500 since Q2 2021 (which hit 91.6%), a unique era when the U.S. economy was coming out of pandemic lockdowns and flooded with trillions of dollars in government stimulus. * A Sustained Streak: This marks the 7th consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth for the index, and the 2nd straight quarter where corporate profits grew by more than 25%. While the headline number is staggering, a deeper financial look by analysts reveals that corporate America's growth isn't quite as widespread as it looks on paper: * The Big Tech Distortions: The index is "market-cap weighted," meaning mega-corporations have an outsized impact on the final average. According to FactSet, if you take out just two massive tech giants—Alphabet (Google) and Amazon—the entire index's earnings growth plunges from 50.4% down to 32.0%. * The Accounting Trick: Financial evaluations show that nearly half of this "record" growth came from paper gains. Under standard corporate accounting rules, when big tech companies hold investments in fast-growing private entities (like cutting-edge AI startups), a surge in those startups' values shows up on the books as corporate "other income," even if the company didn't actually bring in extra cash from selling its core products. * The Typical Business Reality: If you completely bypass the multi-trillion-dollar tech giants and look at the median (the exact middle) stock inside the S&P 500, corporate profits grew by a much more modest 12%. ……….
