If Frank Capra’s classic β€œIt’s a Wonderful Life" were released today, would Mr. Potter, who encouraged the run on George Bailey’s bank, be played by Donald Trump, who deregulated smaller banks in 2018?

Wife got back from her Catalina hike complaining she didn't see any island foxes and I was like "well, yeah, they have burrows and they know to stay inside them when it rains" and apparently that was not as subtle as I imagined.

So basically a collapse triggered by a run triggered by an oligarch. That's not weird at all.

My next business idea: The Boring Bank.

We don't speculate. We don't back risky ventures. We just have savings, checking, and--for the edgy--money market accounts. Comfortably profitable, but not profitable enough to attract vulture capitalists. If there's an organized bank run, the CEO works through lunch.

The Boring Bank. We don't play with your money.

@Swede1952 I love clocks that automatically correct for the goofy twice a year clock adjustment. So much so I designed (3d print and electronics and software) my own clock which does this and also accurately follows Internet time. So called 'atomic' clocks (I have several, and a watch) have a ferrite bar antenna and receive radio time signals which encode the time and the semiannual changes. The are atomic only in that atomic clocks are used at the transmitter. 1/2

"I have lived my life in fear of being found out: as Chinese, perhaps, but really as stupid and ugly and not good enough and incapable of ever being so. But here’s Quan, the same as he was when he was a kid, embodying all of the qualities that actually matter in the pursuit of a life well-lived: love for and faith in the people in your life who see you, and the candid recollection of the journey it took to get you to a place where you can finally see yourself. It’s not the awards that matter, it’s only this."

Throwing this out there again. My roommate and fellow trans woman will be in need of help once I move out. I cannot take her to where I am going. I no longer have the resources to take care of her and getting her on her feet took too long for me because of her situation (but she's almost there.) If anyone can help please contact me for details. She will be on the streets in a red state or back with her abusive parents if we cannot find somewhere for her to go. #trans #lgbtq #transgender

@MKSinSA One time while on a walk, Kassy the dog was confronted by an inquisitive hummingbird, who hovered a foot away from her face. After a few seconds, Kassy made her move. β€œWoof!” I don’t have that shot, but here she is with a butterfly.

"'It turned out that one of the biggest risks to our business model was catering to a very tightly knit group of investors who exhibit herd-like mentalities,' said a senior executive at the bank. 'I mean, doesn’t that sound like a bank run waiting to happen?'"

When I was in Luxembourg this weekend, I saw these embossed markings on crosswalk buttons that show the layout of the crossing. This one shows multiple car lanes, tram tracks and inbetween pedestrian islands. #accessibility

Had to explain to a friend about credit unions yesterday, their funds are at a "nickel-and-dime-you-to-death" big name #bank. Surprised not more people know about credit unions. (also NCUA insured, but funds are collected from members, nonprofit).

@zeljkazorz @sans_isc I got an email from a company saying basically β€œwe banked with SVB, so we’re using a new bank, here are the new routing numbers.”

Excuse me but I do not ACH money to numbers provided by unsolicited emails.

Particularly appreciating my local B-corporation bank today!

β€œThere is no debate to argue here. Trans people have been here forever and aren’t going anywhere. There is no ideology here. It’s simple. Trans rights are human rights. Anything stating the contrary is wrong.”
