Anyone else feeling alright right now about our position going into the season? The met doesn't look all that scary, our boys are healthy and we've got some new firepower. For the first time ever I'm excited to see Lombardi and others duke it out for spots in preseason. Excited for Daws and Allen to become a star duo and for Luke to take his game to the next level.

Expectations have been high for us in years past but I feel like we will thrive with more reasonable expectations.

I also have a tingly good feeling about Quinn. Sunny left an open seat for him and I'm not buying the Quinn owes Billy G narrative at all. I think we might get him this summer. I think we will.

Trying to play out scenarios and signing with us seems to be the only logical decision aside from the 3 year deal everyone is talking about.

Trade Quinn to another team that's not the devils? Too risky for the other team at year end

Wait until the trade deadline to trade him? Less leverage than now

So I feel like we've got a really good chance.

Anyone else with me on this enthusiasm?

In terms of engagement, Dominion is an extreme outlier.

- Top 0.1% of all YouTube videos with 1M+ views, and quite possibly

- Top 0.01% for comment engagement.

My guess is that it has something to do with the sheer magnitude and resonance of the topic at hand. And a combination of trolls, defenders (existing vegans) and new viewers expressing their shock. But I could be missing something as well.

Regardless, I think this is a really good sign for our movement overall

It doesn't matter how a business is doing, or what the earnings or P&L may or may not be. It's not about who the CEO is or current Market conditions or the long-term vision, or if we're at war with Iran.

Stop trying to figure it out - we are not in control.

The market is controlled entirely by hedge funds and investment banks. They are more successful than they've ever been while half this sub is holding the bag.

A drunk friend who works for a large fund in NYC spilled the beans to me one night and detailed all sorts of nefarious stuff they'd do, including politician-related corruption and pooling money with other firms in the tens of billions to manipulate the markets. This might not be news to some of you but I just wanted to give this reminder

Here's a poem I wrote - hope you like it :)
