  Yesterday, Jason Arday resigned from the University of Cambridge, hours after the university opened an investigation into his qualifications. In June, that same university was calling the scrutiny "a vile campaign." I've written an essay about this case — but not about the man, whose conduct investigations will settle and who denies wrongdoing. The essay is about what is already beyond dispute, because it happened in public: seven institutions failed at their one defining function, in the same direction, at the same time. The university that certified a doctorate with a hundred borrowed passages ruled it "honest and reasonable error." Cambridge deployed its prestige against the people doing the checking. The BBC broadcast celebrations; The New York Times called it a smear before conceding the plagiarism in paragraph nineteen. Simon & Schuster reportedly paid 1.4 million for a memoir any sober editor would value at ten thousand — and defended the author on the day he resigned. Amazon was still recommending the book as an editors' pick this morning. And the Metropolitan Police spent four months investigating the journalist who asked questions by email. Trust is not destroyed by fraudsters; every era has those. It is destroyed when the public discovers the gates were never manned. The essay ends with a proposal every university should find boring and most will find terrifying: audit yourselves — independently, externally, in public — before the journalists do it for you. The question for every rector this week is simple: how many of these would pass your gates?

  Welp, Walmart's surge pricing has hit their website. So now I have no reason to shop with them at all. I haven't stepped inside one since delivery started. So now, if you buy something often, they will raise the price on you. I accidentally found this out by searching for puff pastry before I logged in. I logged in, and they raised the price by .30 cents. I logged out, and it went back down. Fuuuuck you, Walmart. I would rather pay double at Publix than give you one more red cent. Raise prices as high as you want; that's your prerogative, but don't be sneaky with it. This is Amazon-level stupidity.

  One company shows the state of this market better than any index. Alphabet is raising up to $25 billion. This is its third U.S. bond sale since November, with ten tranches ranging from two to forty years. Alphabet’s total debt is now over $100 billion, and its planned capital spending is $205 billion. It also just reported its first negative quarterly free cash flow since going public in 2004. After twenty-two years of positive cash flow, a building program has ended that streak. To be fair, Alphabet’s bond sale reportedly attracted more than four times the demand it needed. This company has no trouble borrowing. It is one of the strongest credits in the world. But if you look at deals from less well-known companies, the picture changes. Last week, BlackRock sold $12.5 billion in bonds linked to a Meta data center in Texas, but initial demand was weak. The same happened with a similar Amazon deal. So while the strongest companies can raise as much as they want, financing deals that are a step removed are having trouble finding buyers. This is what it looks like when the market is testing a building phase. It’s not a refusal, just a shorter line the further you get from the big names. Research, not advice.

  A billionaire hedge fund manager posted a 30-minute animated video in 2013 to prove the entire economics profession had been teaching debt cycles wrong for a hundred years. Forty million people have watched it. Wall Street has quietly rebuilt its macro framework around it. MBA programs still charge $200,000 to teach a worse version of the same three ideas. His name is Ray Dalio. He founded Bridgewater Associates in a two-bedroom Manhattan apartment in 1975 and turned it into the largest hedge fund on earth. He is 76. His personal wealth is roughly $14 billion. The video is called "How the Economic Machine Works." It is on YouTube. It has been in the top three most-viewed economics videos on the internet for eleven years. Dalio explains the entire framework using three lines on a whiteboard. Productivity growth. The long slow rise that happens when humans invent things and get better at making them. Roughly two percent a year for the last two centuries. Boring. Steady. Unstoppable. The short-term debt cycle. Every five to eight years the economy expands as credit expands, then contracts as central banks raise rates to cool inflation. Recessions live inside this cycle. Fed Chairs live and die on it. The long-term debt cycle. Every seventy-five to a hundred years debt builds up faster than income can service it. Interest rates hit zero. Central banks print money. Currencies devalue. Wealth redistributes. This cycle just completed its current turn between 2008 and 2020. Dalio drew this on the same whiteboard in 2013 and predicted rates would hit zero and central banks would run out of conventional tools. It happened between 2019 and 2020, roughly six years after the video went live. Six of the models he shows are still classified as proprietary at three of the largest banks in the world. He gave them away on YouTube in twenty minutes each. "There is nothing new under the sun. The most important thing most people don't do is study history." That is Dalio in almost every interview since 1990. Every trade Bridgewater has ever made runs off the same three cycles. Every retail trader on X is trading on charts, indicators, and news headlines. Dalio's whole point is that none of it matters if you cannot place the current moment inside the three cycles above. The video is free on YouTube. Bridgewater's 123-page "Principles" PDF is free on his website. His book is $18 on Amazon. Forty million people have seen the video. Almost none of them can name the three forces he draws in the first ten minutes. The framework is free. The willingness to hold a position long enough for the long-term debt cycle to matter is a much rarer commodity than a chart pattern.

  @AmazonHelp The driver that came yesterday said they are trained to back down driveways to reduce chance of damage. Other drivers pull in reverse into yard, while others will back all the way out, some will use the concrete driveway. You have a huge training issue!!

  Just another great day with Amazon - they broke my variations on tons of ASINs. Been live for years, no abuse but now Amazon decided to f***k them all - will take my team hours and hours to fix this. Never have this issue with Target, Walmart, Shopify, Tiktok or Ebay.

  Asset or Skill-Based (Front-Loaded Effort, Then More Passive) These leverage what you create or already own: • Digital products and online courses: Create an ebook, template pack, printable, Notion workspace, software tool, or course once, then sell it repeatedly on platforms like your own site, Gumroad, Amazon, or course marketplaces. High margins after creation; minimal ongoing costs. Upfront work is significant (content quality matters), and marketing helps sales continue. Many people report this as one of the more scalable “set it and sell” options. moneydigest. com • Print-on-demand and dropshipping: Design T-shirts, mugs, or other items (or curate products); a third party handles printing, inventory, and shipping only after a sale. Platforms like Shopify, Printful, or Amazon Merch make it relatively hands-off after designs and store setup. Marketing and niche selection drive results; not completely passive. • Content and affiliate marketing: Build a blog, YouTube channel, newsletter, or social presence in a niche. Monetize via ads, sponsorships, or affiliate links (you earn commissions when people buy through your referrals). Once content ranks or an audience grows, it can generate income with less daily work. Requires consistency early on. • Royalties and licensing: Stock photography, music, video footage, or self-published books can earn ongoing payments each time they’re used or sold. Create and upload once; platforms handle distribution. • Rental income: Rent a spare room, parking space, vehicle, storage, or full property (long-term or short-term via platforms). Hiring a property manager makes residential rentals closer to passive. Self-storage or specialized assets can require less day-to-day involvement. Capital and local regulations matter; management fees reduce net returns. moneylion. com Ultra-Low-Effort Micro Options • Bandwidth-sharing apps (e.g., Honeygain and similar): Install software that uses idle internet capacity for legitimate data tasks; earn small amounts (often tens of dollars per month depending on connection and location) with almost zero ongoing work. Truly background. idleforest. com • Cashback/rewards apps and referral programs: Earn on spending you already do, or build residual income from referring others. Practical Tips for Building These Start with what matches your resources: spare cash → investments or HYSAs; skills/time → digital products or content; existing assets → rentals. Many people build a “stack” of several small streams rather than relying on one. Track taxes (passive income is still taxable, sometimes differently) and understand risks—markets fall, products stop selling, tenants cause issues, rates change. Be skeptical of anything promising huge returns with zero effort or risk; scams exist. Research platforms, fees, and legal requirements. Diversify and treat this as a long-term process measured in months or years, not days. These approaches align with the idea that the best passive income comes from assets (financial, digital, or physical) that work independently after you invest the initial time or money. Choose based on your risk tolerance, capital, and interests, and consider consulting a financial advisor for personalized advice.

  @seiyaisbored There wasn’t any confirmation of it, but I’m assuming that’s part of why Amazon/A24 cracked down on official artists’ merch. The decison was multifaceted, I’m sure, but some fans were putting too much stock into individual artists’s ships as insight into the canon trajectory
