My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row

I think some songs were always meant to be punk rock songs...it just took the right band to recognize that. Anyhow, enjoy.

By the way, this is still the greatest thing in the history of the internet

Just something that a guy named Steve Ibsen did with his cat back in 2004. The lounge seems to love cat videos, so I thought I’d bring back the ultimate classic. Enjoy.

Real Hedge-Fund Managers Have Some Thoughts on What Epstein Was Actually Doing

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/07/hedge-funders-have-some-thoughts-on-what-epstein-was-doing.html

To summarize: no one knows how Epstein came by the fortune he clearly has. He wasn’t born with it. He didn’t graduate from college. He worked for Bear Stearns, rose through the ranks quickly, and then was fired. He then founded his own firm, where he claims to do all the investing himself while his employees all work separately in a back office. Only one person is known to be an investor of his, the rest are all incognito. And it’s very hard to make that much money as a traditional hedge fund manager. So some are speculating that he’s running a blackmail ring. It’s an interesting article.
