I bought one of these after we had a freak windstorm take out the power for 3 days. They're awesome in a pinch!

Missing last bit. Deep down, this is what the end of financial gravity looks like. The liquidity tide that built everything since 2008 has reversed. The system has entered the “standing repo era” - permanent emergency liquidity injections masked as normal operations. The illusion of control is fading. Tick tock QT means one thing: The countdown to the next paradigm shift has already begun.

X post from @sightbringer When Reverse Repos vanish, it means the system’s surplus cash has been fully absorbed. The Fed’s liquidity buffer is dry. Standing Repo usage rising (the red) means the banking system has shifted from excess reserves to deficit borrowing. The direction of flow has inverted. This is the same transition that occurred right before the repo crisis of 2019 - but at a much larger scale. Then, it was a market plumbing issue. Now, it’s systemic exhaustion. The Treasury’s massive debt issuance, paired with the Fed’s quantitative tightening, has drained the system of collateral and dollars simultaneously. Banks are now tapping the Fed not to store liquidity - but to survive. Quantitative Tightening has entered its terminal phase. There is no more fat to cut without breaking something. If the Fed stops QT, inflation expectations reignite. If it continues, funding markets fracture. If it pivots, credibility dies. This chart is the moment between heartbeats - the point where the artificial pulse of a synthetic economy hesitates before deciding whether to restart or flatline. Deep down, this is what the end of financial gravity

I'm not fucking leaving!

Not anymore.

Another year, another extension on the gun confiscation amnesty. Tacet acknowledgement that their plan is fundamentally broken. Why can't they just scrap their plans? Ego. Thats why. The liberals are cucks. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/campaigns/firearms-buyback.html

Morning fren.

Yeah, I went to Chipotle and got a burrito bowl Double meat Guac Drink It was 37 dollars. When I lived in California it was 16 bucks.

Here is the best take I read about yesterday's flash crash by user SightBringer - https://x.com/_The_Prophet__/status/1976884200780234799?t=WAjlPXzUQQ6WraqiXmq5qg&s=19 ⚡️Here’s the straight signal: The yen carry trade unwind was the trigger. Not the sole cause, but the ignition point that lit dry powder already lining the system. Let’s break it down clearly and cut through all the noise: 1. The system was already brittle. Liquidity was maxed out. Leverage was layered - corporate, sovereign, shadow-bank, crypto. Everyone was borrowing short and betting long, assuming the yen would stay weak and the Fed would pivot soon. That’s a setup that needs perfect conditions to survive. 2. The yen move cracked the facade. When USD/JPY snapped lower, even if it looked “tiny” on paper, it was a nuke structurally. Why? Because the yen isn’t just a currency - it’s the world’s cheapest collateral source. Billions are borrowed in yen to fund everything from Treasuries to Bitcoin. So when the yen strengthens, all those trades go underwater at once. That’s a forced unwind. Not sentiment - mechanics. And because this is all stacked leverage, the effect compounds fast. One small FX move equals billions in margin calls. 3. The reflexive feedback loop ignited. Once the unwind began, funds had to sell anything liquid to cover losses. That means U.S. equities, BTC, high-beta names - exactly what sold off. And when those prices drop, it feeds right back into the same risk models - forcing more selling. That’s not “investors panicking.” That’s autonomous deleveraging - algorithms, collateral models, risk desks all firing at once. 4. The deeper truth - the carry trade is the hidden denominator. The yen is like a barometer of global risk appetite. When it strengthens, it means liquidity is being pulled back into Japan. That’s the same as global tightening - even before central banks say a word. So yes, Japan is the canary. But this isn’t just about Japan. It’s about the global system’s dependence on low-yield debt and synthetic liquidity. 5. My final read This wasn’t a random flash crash. This was a structural tremor. The kind that happens when the world’s hidden funding mechanism starts to reverse direction. You can think of it like this: The yen carry trade was the quiet heartbeat of the post-COVID bull market. And you just watched it skip a beat. That’s why BTC and SPY dumped almost in sync. That’s why volatility spiked before the news cycle caught up. It wasn’t sentiment. It was plumbing. This was the first visible crack in the global liquidity wall. A carry trade unwind was the spark. The broader crash was the fire racing through leverage-dry grass. And if the yen keeps strengthening, that wasn’t the end…it was just the opening shudder.

Anyone selling their bitcoin today because of Tarrif fears is an absolute pussy. HFSP. I just picked up Sats on the low low.

I can't believe I have to explain this but... Migration without assimilation is literally an invasion. Full stop.

I spent a few minutes searching for the zap button - after starting to think I was losing my mind, I realized I was looking at this post on X. I laughed at myself and came back over to Primal to send you those #V4V sats.

Lift heavy shit, plebs. Both physically, and mentally. Do hard.

And yet... here they are negotiating with the Americans. I think the situation is way to complex for anyone to hand wave away.

Do they understand what the alternative would be?

Hopefully whoever came up with that idea is relegated to the unemployed line.

I've gotten pretty decent at making some delicious pizzas.

True. Complete the rep.

Morning Nostr frens. Exciting times in the weeks ahead. Keep your head on a swivel, your wits about you. Shit is gonna get wild.
