The BBBYQ people see incompetent enough that you'd think people would be able to short against them as long as they don't mention the s word.

Like, offer a bargain that you'll sell them a thosuand shares for $50 a share next year in exchange for some trivial cash now, because I need money to get my apes out of the hock, and when moass comes thru the shares are gonna be worth a fortune so I'm doing you a favor man

You know I am not really your father.





I just got out of Dumb Money. It does mythologize Roaring Kitty as there are groups of people we follow that “buy-in” based on reading wall street bets and watching his roaring kitty videos. But overall nothing completely out of hand with the real story.

The movie is “anti capitalist” in the way these big companies see antiestablishment being lucrative now. Big guy vs little guy kinda stuff. They make some of the hedge fund people bad guys but they definitely made Seth rogens character more sympathetic. They ripped pretty hard on the robinhood founders.

They said diamond hands a lot. Like the nurse character from the trailer says it. And the students say it too. They cheer when roaring kitty says I like the stock during the congressional hearing. They also say HODL and other memes from the time.
They licensed a lot of music and shot a lot of slomo
They used actual TikTok’s and Reddit posts. Like it occupied a lot of screen time as kind of interstitials.
Wallstreetbets is shown a ton including the use of the R slur. Seth Rogen says “r-word” but the rest of the time they say it outright.


There’s actually a focus on masks due to when this occurred in time. 100% of the time none of the hedge fund people are wearing masks but all the servants around them wear masks. One of the people who buys into GME actually works at GameStop and has his boss remind him to make sure his mask is above his nose. There are also two students who put their masks down in class because they got tired of texting right next to each other and the teacher has to remind them about keeping their mask up. Seth rogen’s characters wife complains about their kids zoom classes. Seemed a bit anti mask but not sure if that was the exact intent or not but roaring kittys first scene he’s wearing a mask and by the end of the movie he’s not. Not sure if that’s kinda subtle imagery or they just didn’t want to deal with masks later on in filming.

There are some pretty funny parts to the movie.

Tomorrow I think we're going to either see the start of something special, or actually see something special.

September 14th may Cohencidentally be the same day the Star Spangled Banner song was written (technically a poem called Defence of Fort McHenry). September 16th was also when the Mayflower set sail and would eventually land on Plymoth Rock. I think if Ryan posts a vague tweet on the 14th or 16th, it might be cross related to these events. If we expect to see any hints of anything, could be these two dates.

In my GRAND version, the BBBY stores would become giant GameStops, but not too giant! They would sell games and gamers would prefer them to Steam because they would be loyal; can come in, experience two stories of nooks and crannies, have a gaming area to buy and play board games and video games, have a bouncer, maybe some bar food. And plenty of high-end stuff to buy -- not so many bobbleheads. (They would of course, also have a bigger web site where most of their sales and blockchain-unlocked games come from.) I don't think kids nowadays but up to 45 yo (shake my fist) have enough places to go for the lifestyle they've chosen.

Yeah that's why gamers shop online now... Gamestop isn't big enough.

A significant part of my job is to create puzzles. Usually educational, but not always: some are just for fun.

If I made my solutions this obtuse, I'd get 100% wrong answers and frustration. Like, there might be one person in a thousand who gets the connection, but the overall consensus would be that I needed to at least toss in a few clues to get people going in the right direction. Relying on people to pull poo poo like this out of thin air is a really bad approach to communicating anything.

I love that they just invent this idea that people will do illogical things out of some sense of loyalty, especially to loving GameStop, the definition of "I only go here cus there's nothing better."

Nostalgia for a GameStop that never existed.

What if that store I loved as a kid, but redesigned for 40 year old men, a hip gastropub with a bouncer and the high end merchandise I can afford now and video gaming areas

What would the bouncer even be bouncing for? Making sure you're 21 before entering the GameStop? That seems like it'd kick out a good chunk of their consumer base.
