A quote tweet by Arpit Gupta (@arpitrage): Original tweet - "Investors are now betting overall US inflation over the next 12 months will surge above 5%. Implied inflation rate from 1 year breakeven, per Bloomberg" by Mike Dorning, with a Bloomberg graph showing US inflation swaps showing a sharp rise to over 5% inflation by March 2027. Quoted tweet - "You may not like it, but this is unbelievable forecasting performance" from Arpit Gupta, including a screenshot of a Larry Summers tweet from August of 2023 juxtaposing a graph of inflation from 1966 to 1982 (with 2 inflation peaks, the first around 1974, a return to stability, and then a sharp rise in 1978 to a huge peak around 1980), with a graph of inflation from 2013-2023, showing a large peak in 2021 coinciding with the post-COVID economic recovery. The implication is clear, that inflation should somehow spike again starting in early 2026... Pure fantasy.

Tweet from Carlos Mucha (@mucha_carlos): It’s odd no one in ICE busts wears raid jacket. I reckon they are all federal agents (1811 criminal investigator is job category) but only a minority are ICE agents. WH has seconded 1811s from all over govt to ICE but parent agencies don’t want their names or agents’ faces on TV.

3 tuits entre George Santos y Trixie Mattel: "I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far. Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing- for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up." "Maybe the source material was weak" "Clearly you know all about weak acting skills @trixiemattel"
A screenshot of a reddit search for "ants" on /r/electronics showing several posts with "Ants" as the title, and a few other gems, "Didn't know ants could be used as an alternative to wires for conductors.", "When you need some "Ant Fault Protection"".

Screenshots from Carlos Mucha's Twitter account, showing Texas's child support caps at $1840 per month for one child, including one flowery tweet "You idiots need to Google the words Texas Child Support Caps. She would make more money if she’d gotten knocked up by a dentist in Fresno." and "Grimes knows the deal in Texas (belatedly)." - Grimes says she was 'going bankrupt' during custody battle with Elon Musk Nov 21, 2024 - Texas, however, caps child-support payments at $2,760 for three children, while California has no cap. That means if the case included child...
