Honestly, many like myself are THRILLED to see you here (more) again. I know the subscribers may be much lower than Twitter, but you also get drowned out by so much noise there. For people like myself that get to take a moment and READ in longer form what you are putting out, it is fantastic to have you adding here more. Your message simply sticks more. And... its easier to share with others to get a deeper look than a short tweet (no matter how pithy)

Great to have you here! Much appreciated!

[I recently gave a presentation to a group on the many dangers of inflation. Your material was an honest inspiration to share the word. It may not be much, but at least another ~30 leaders in my community (business people, chamber of commerce, etc) got to hear the message. And I’ll be giving it to more shortly]

Thank you again for what you do!

Never having been a twitterite (have read certain folks tweets, however), great to see you back here Rudy. Nobody pieces together, in such a intelligently humorous, manner this peak insanity. It amazes how long the process takes to revert to some mean of sanity. This makes me think that the longer the arc of the top (societal, financial, cultural, political etc.) the unwind is going to be absolutely crushing. Obliterating all sorts of 15 seconds of fame thinking, which will leave many clinging to the flotsam of western civilization.

This should be required reading for people actually interested in using their minds. Thanks for provoking critical thinking!

So much better here than Twitter. When you are eventually reinstated over there, which I'm pretty sure you will be, don't forget about us here!

I was banned from Twitter for unspecified reasons, but re-registered after Elon bought it, thinking it must be better now. Wrong.

I tweeted the fact "Trans is mental illness" and was banned with such inhuman speed that they seem to have woke AI policing it now. Twitter demands I give them my phone number and delete the offending fact to regain access to their censorship platform. Nope, not going to do that.

Elon failed. He's part of the problem now, not the solution.

Then shortly after I was banned, the head of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins said that trans is mental illness, and people are allowed to quote-tweet that. But I'm still banned.

Please let Elon know if you run into him, lol.

Being banned from Twitter is a rite of passage these days. I've been banned 4 times. I'm on my 5th account. Came back because Elon promised to end the censorship. Not sure what the deal is with Rudy though. Maybe they haven't flushed all the woketarians yet?

Thanks for the Lonette tune. Didn’t have that one in my library. 🎶. If you take requests... I can think a few scenarios where some Cymande would be appropriate.

Twitter isn’t the same dumpster fire of pointless outrage without you

You are much missed on twitter.

In times like these you are always disappeared.

Ackman has nits and Schwab has zits,

In time, you will be cleared.

Curious what the work of art is that the Avi-Franklin dialogue comes from. So apt for so many reasons in our civilization today.

Shorting indexes these days. My last stock short was Corus Bank--puts expired two days before it went down. Lesson there. Individual stocks push timing risk too high. But I wish I had seen the SIVB BS a year ago...

My last two shorts were Indymac and Downey Savings. Godspeed.

Just saw the BS for now failed SIVB. Basically mostly real estate MBS. Not really a commercial bank at all. More like an MBS fund masquerading as a bank. Massive failure of Regulatory agencies/Senior Management/Risk Management. Last two have paid the price. Where were the Regulators

And what a missed opportunity as a short--could have seen this coming miles away.
