We're back, baby!
Whew, yesterday was a rollercoaster! From the revelation of incels working at Venice-adjacent’s other den of shame to discovery of the un-erasable Internet to a masterful work by Jen See to righteous indignation to the reemergence of the Ambassador of Stoke and Leisure to Longtom winding it all down with gorgeously scribed odd day at Ulus.
Am I right?
I woke up so exhausted that going to check my GoPro stock first thing this morning sounded like a good idea. Over I went to Investor’s Business Daily and clicked on the headline Stocks Dip On Apple Warning, China Tech Query; These 2 IPOs Surge. All fine so far… until I started reading. Follow with me please:
Stocks opened to modest losses Friday, after a warning from Apple (AAPL) initially triggered sharp selling across its supply chain. Global markets were wary as world leaders gather in Quebec for the two-day G7 meeting. And reports of U.S. congressional queries into tech-sector links to China led declines across China’s markets on Friday.
Stitch Fix (ZUMZ) and DocuSign (DOCU) posted some of the morning’s strongest early advances.
ZUMZ? What’s ZUMZ? I did a quick search and discovered ZUMZ is… ZUMIEZ! The extreme sport retailer made famous in the Blink-182 era! For selling flat-brimmed Stars and Straps hats and Billabong t-shirts.
Billabong t-shirts!
How the hell are they advancing? What are they doing? This is the first positive mention of an extreme sport retailer in investment news since Volcom went public some forever years ago. I hurried through all the junk about China and Apple and read further:
Skate and surf-wear shop Zumiez rose less than 1%, shedding a sharp premarket spike, after a late-Thursday report showed a narrower-than-forecast first-quarter loss and revenue growth above expectations. The stock remained in a buy range after breaking out Tuesday above a 26.30 buy point in a cup-with-handle base.
I have no idea what that means but… WE’RE BACK, BABY!

when i first read it, i had to double back and read it over again and again just to make sure. its nice to know even titans of lit are just as vulnerable as us plebeians… and Hem’s way of shedding light on emasculation knows no bounds….

I’m not making money, just saving it. Closed system agriculture is very satisfying to the soul.
Love swapping eggs for other goods and giving them away.
But my mate is making a good living from it.
Can I buy some eggs?
no, just come over and bring something to trade.

Fitzgerald woukld thrive in modern day Byron Bay
Out of interest, do you do modern day Byron bay, or long for days of old?
I do it every day and love it, but long for days of old too.
It’s still magic. Just not as magic.
Call it whatever they will, but just don’t call it surfing. Let me stare hypnotised at the horizon waiting for the one to come, all of life’s measures and troubles left on dry sand. Out here I’m free, a little yellow bird with the cage door open, no master no slave, a world of possibility surrounds me.
When I step foot back on dry sand the cage door swiftly closes, and the material world hurriedly reminds me of my shortcomings in life, lack of financial success, hungry mouths to feed…
But in two hours I know where the tide will be just right, and those fucking kooks don’t have a clue.
V nice .
You using baby now?
Probably surging from inside info they plan to shutter most of their stores 📈📊💱💸🤑💵
Wave pool Jebus exists!
I am speechless. This picture is fucking amazing.
Hemingway throwin’ shade a Fitzgerald is the best Hemingway.
Scott’s wife Zelda also did a number on him .. check “Movable Feast” chapter A Matter of Measurements” when Hem has to take him to the Louvre and show him marble statues to prove he’s not ill-endowed…. after Zelda said Scotty could never satisfy her….. Hem hated her…. pretty gnar gnar..
The elitism at the Ranch is beyond the pale.

CaliYork! GMac! Paddleboards! A ray of cheer on this fucker of a day.
that is a lot of fucking flowers right there, but i’m into it!
To me that reads, “They sucked less than investors thought they would.”
Ah yes, GoPro stock. Where I quickly turned $2000 into about $400 last time I looked. I hope Beachgrit buys GoPro so I can cash in.
I turned $500 into $8.95!
8.95 is Excellent in some rule books.
Definitely checking all the boxes of speed, power and flow.
You should buy chickens they are incredible multipliers.
Pittance.
