Multiple tornadoes from Illinois/Indiana all the way down to Arkansas/Mississippi with a big one tearing through Little Rock AR.

Much better than Clickbait TV dba The Weather Channel. Fuckers completely ignored the Memorial Day 2019 outbreak in Dayton.

Weather Channel was better when it was elevator music and white text on a blue screen punctuated with occasional maps with a person pointing at them:

DeSantis was never gonna win against a super-corporation like Disney anyways, the idea that he was going to end run one of the largest, most profitable orgs in Florida is delusional on his part.

It was always about pretending he could stand up to a woke company.

Holy hell, if that "you can major in business management or accounting" ad at the start of this video don't take me directly back to the late 90s.

Also, when they went full red screen of death, you knew poo poo of some form was going down. In Ohio, it was severe storms.

March never ends. Let's run this month into the ground.

So, an update from the Washington Post about Silicon Valley Bank.

Newly released deets: internal risk modeling identified that they were being way too risky with their investments, so naturally, the bank execs changed the risk model to look at other things instead and cover up their assessment of risk. The degree of hubris is amazing.

quote:

In buying longer-term investments that paid more interest, SVB had fallen out of compliance with a key risk metric. An internal model showed that higher interest rates could have a devastating impact on the bank’s future earnings, according to two former employees familiar with the modeling who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe confidential deliberations.

Instead of heeding that warning — and over the concerns of some staffers — SVB executives simply changed the model’s assumptions, according to the former employees and securities filings. The tweaks, which have not been previously reported, initially predicted that rising interest rates would have minimal impact.

The new assumptions validated SVB’s profit-driven strategy, but they were profoundly misplaced. Over the past year, interest rates have climbed nearly five percentage points, the fastest pace since the 1980s.

Silicon Valley Bank’s risk model flashed red. So its executives changed it.
