I want to write up my thoughts about GameStop but trying to describe in-depth financial plumbing problems mixed with market rigging by cynical assholes would make me sound like a lunatic.

Same.

I think me and Chris Arnade are the only people on the internet who seem to understand all the details of what happened and why with Reddit and Gamestop, and I just don’t have the energy to write it all up step by step.

Part of if is that I did some weighted lunges tonight that really sapped me, but another factor is that even at the best of times that I don’t have the energy to write 2 or 3 thousand words that most people wouldn’t read anyway, especially the people who need to.
