Buffalo magazine’s 21st issue is now on the coffee table, and the editors’ letter is already promising.

Michael Burry, the investor whose story was told in The Big Short, decided that the bubble has gone far enough (he’s putting up 9.2M$ for the right to collect 240M$ when the AI delirium crashes into reality). The termination of his hedge fund is accompanied by a succinct letter, in which the 80’s inspired logotype pairs incredibly well with the Wall Street overdose ambiance.
In Paris this evening, the guy at the packages pick-up place went out to get his daughter from school. A line was formed and everyone waited patiently.
We still enjoy JW Anderson’s surprise stickers, even though it’s been two months since the site’s launch. Good work.
Why did Dalida’s official youtube recenly release a new video version for Laissez-moi danser? It’s a mystery; but the new vid is a blasphemy, so stick to the euphoric original.
