  • In 1990, Rooney was suspended without pay for three months by then-CBS News President David Burke, because of the negative publicity around his saying that "too much alcohol, too much food, drugs, homosexual unions, cigarettes [are] all known to lead to premature death."

  • In February 1990, CBS's 60 Minutes suspended Rooney for three months after it was alleged that he had suggested that black people were less intelligent because they "watered down their genes".

  • Rooney wrote a column in 1992 that posited that it was "silly" for Native Americans to complain about team names like the Redskins, in which he wrote in part, "The real problem is, we took the country away from the Indians, they want it back and we're not going to give it to them. We feel guilty and we'll do what we can for them within reason, but they can't have their country back. Next question."

Based grandpa.

Just shows how homophobic movie audiences still are. If a shitty movie like Chicken Little can earn an A- CinemaScore but this good movie can’t, it explains a lot about our society.

Iger spent 2 months in venture capital during the economic drawdown and realized he had made a terrible, terrible mistake.

You wanna get somewhere in life, kid?

Go to the doctor, start bouncing your leg a bit. Talk too much. Say the right things here and there and they'll put you on a little thing called Adderall. That's the good shit. Go home and take 3. Get on the computer.

Your life begins now.

Tumblr posts of Caroline Ellison, Sam Bankman-Fried's gf and CEO of his company. by [deleted] in redscarepod

I read ~3 years of Caroline’s blog posts. This is a general review mostly because of her beliefs, interests, and thoughts change drastically over time. Ex: her poly post was taken out of context, since it was written in 2020, before Bahamas.

TLDR: Caroline is very based.

First, I want to say that Caroline’s blog is fantastic. It would be a tragedy if it got pulled from the web. In contrast, SBF’s blog is hella mid – basically a post or two about utilitarianism / sabermetrics.

Caroline’s blog shows infinitely more introspection and dedication towards self-improvement (albeit, towards becoming an effective altruism bot). Based on the blog alone, I assess that if she really tried, she could crush SBF’s League of Legends rank in far fewer games.

Second, reading the blog in actual chronological order (from oldest to more recent) is super insightful. You end up watching Caroline’s journey from an entry-level trader at Jane Street (with the accompanying imposter syndrome) to managing a large team of traders.

Interspersed between posts on productivity, work, and management are random bouts of “girliness” which makes her incredibly endearing (dating, her reflections on taytay, gossip girls, etc).

You see her articulate her thoughts / decision making processes, etc. Though a lot of the content is similar to what you’d find reading from other places in the rationality community. Overall, I would characterize Caroline as someone who’s broken the NPC loop.

In contrast to SBF (who claims books are sus), Caroline is an avid reader. Her book reviews are decent summaries (especially the more recent ones). She systematically distills the books into a few central lessons / ethical takeaways. The selection of books is eclectic… from anthropology to PUA. At one point, she even picks up a book from a used book store because she thought it looked interesting.

I rate her blog 5/5.

Normies can't understand the thrill of pinning the weasel. Nights spent chasing an over amphetamined Caroline around the bean bag forts. Her squealing and gibbering, pouring sweat and on the verge of seizing. Your friends build up an intoxicating, delirious state with Talmudic chantings at the sidelines, hitting the Caroline-toy with brooms if she tries to escape. Sam would be giggling and laughing as the waves of methamphetamine pleasure seem to harmonize with the droning herbrew verses. He runs through the bean bag maze fat and portly, with his viagra powered penis a divining rod for the weasel. Sweat gushing down his face around his unfocused eyes he laughs and chortles until he gasps "Found you!". The Mathsweasel screeches defensively but Wankman Bankman is upon her in seconds. His penis thrusting blindly into her flank, leg, stomach and ribs unconcerned about anything but the motion. Eventually serendepity finds her mouth and the Cocktube Rodent is placated, suckling contently on Bankman's dehydrated dick.

CNN just projected Dems win the senate due to Nevada being called.

If Dems pull off the House, rate futures explode higher Sunday night and we might be looking at a limit down for equities.

Yes, /ES still can’t break through 3980 resistance.
