YEAR IN REVIEW 2022, 2 Picked up bicycle training after 20y, ~2000 km in 4 months. Had stopped after a near miss. 1) Improved trails & bike infrastructure, 2) drivers aware of cyclists, 3) flashing lights. If you live in hilly areas, whole HR spectrum. Hope to do 6000 km in 2023. https://t.co/cKDhBNM7li — PolitiTweet.org

The strategy followed by Sam the Grok (SBF) and his entourage: "Nimium altercando, sputando potius quam disputando, piano nodis nectendo, ambiguitate verborum fidem faciendo" By bullshitting enough you drown the central point. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who didn't get it: it is great feeling to confirm that America's institutions are preserved. The criminal justice system doesn't care about the opinion of the Mainstream Media (partc. the NY Times), Maxine Waters, or Sam the Grok's video game partners. — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, SDNY grabbed Sam the Grok before he confused congress with his "didn't know" and "will make every effort to get it back" confabulation. https://t.co/Dshg7uVy47 — PolitiTweet.org

I woke up feeling better that the Southern District of NY is handling "Sam the Grok" SBF. They are merciless. No more NYT BS. SDNY brought down the mafia (the Commission Trial), got Fat Tony Salerno, hounded financial criminals s.a. Mike Milken & Ivan Boesky, and handled Madoff. — PolitiTweet.org

@matt_levine Matt Levine is my favorite financial writer, so we ascribe the discrepancy to terminology: technically it is a put spread, only scaled unevenly. — PolitiTweet.org

@Alan_Couzens I have been past 4 months on a 7-12h cycling per week [Mean HR 120, range 77-168], but not every week since I travel sometimes. We will know soon. I used to cycle ~20y ago but stopped after a near-miss w/a truck. https://t.co/SLSjHEKPdw — PolitiTweet.org

@matt_levine You are talking about a Christmas Tree (technical name), not a put spread. But it is only a matter of terminology, of course. My textbook [forth.] https://t.co/mHfXSbgTHv — PolitiTweet.org

2) Why does the @nytimes use Greek mythology to whitewash Sam Bankman-Fried? Because mythological figures were imperfect, heroes with flaws, often tragic flaws. SBF is no hero with flaws. He is just a fraudster in a fraudulent business around a pyramid scheme, crypto. Gabish? — PolitiTweet.org

The alternative adds noise. So: 1- Verbalism vs 2- Verbalism, Noise, and Truth https://t.co/LgA2v7uJ4o — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @nytimes, for the nth time, there is NO Icarus, no overconfidence, no good guy flying close to Helios. There is NO Greek Tragedy. Stop the f***ck**g mythologizing. The fellow, Sam Bankman-Fried, committed something called financial fraud. Simply, fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

Settling on this title for the next book on BS busting, with a polite title: VERBALISM in INCERTO, vol 6. Based on the aphorism: "Mathematicians think in proofs, lawyers in constructs, logicians in operators, dancers in movement, artists in impressions, and idiots in labels." https://t.co/DPlBqeHTDT — PolitiTweet.org
