Looks like money laundering to me.
Now I’m kinda suspicious of the real Olivet-Nazarene university just down the road. Maybe this fake college system is stealing their name to add an air of legitimacy.
They don’t look to be associated with these organizations.
But I don’t think I like them either.
Financial crash coming soon?
As bad as 2008, or…worse?
Ah, herein lies a subtlety in the observation. The answer the machine is giving is: “I don’t know”. The uncertainty is so high, that it says it can’t make a move that meets the criteria it has been given for an acceptably low risk outcome.
That doesn’t say the markets are going to be bad, or good. Just that for all its analytic prowess, it doesn’t know.
As a human, you have the “is that a False Sabretooth Tiger there in the dark?” reaction. That’s the safer response (there’s evidence they used to eat us) but tends to be pessimistic.
Buffet always said not to bet against . As I said to a colleague in 2017, the country is wildly economically productive, rich in resources, and full of relatively well educated people with, on the whole, good intentions. I predicted that the coming years would be tough, but that would come through it a better place.
I still believe that.
I’m still glad I live in … for now…
You probably have other things to do, but Different Seasons was a solid collection of four mostly non-supernatural novellas. (He slips in one non-horror but uncanny story at the end.) Not certain how you’d compare/judge the characterizations, but it’s probably some of his stronger work in that area. ‘Twas the source for the films Shawshank Redemption, Stand by Me, and Apt Pupil.
Good to know, thank you!
Probably.

Probing a mysterious network of dropshippers, evangelicals, crapgadgets, and semi-vacant Manhattan department stores
So my office building had kind of an event this part Saturday. Not sure now true it is (though I don’t have reason to believe it didn’t happen) but apparently there was a road rage incident that happened right by our office. One of the people involved was apparently killed and CSI did an investigation. But it was weird coming to work, getting to just about my desk when the office by me had a boarded up window.
And legit we had a fire drill this morning. So imagine being kinda weirded out about the shooting and then the fire alarm goes off randomly. Seems like real bad timing to do that shit. But thankfully the drill was pretty normal.
- Two US Navy destroyers came under attack by the Houthis on Monday.
- The Iran-backed rebels fired a mix of anti-ship missiles and exploding drones.

The US Navy defeated a complex attack launched by the Houthis on Monday that saw the rebels fire several missiles and drones at two American warships off the coast of Yemen, a Pentagon spokesperson said on Tuesday.

My sister in Texas had to go to the emergency room yesterday and ran into this.
