One of my go-to sayings with clients is THERE IS THE TAX CODE FOR THE INFORMED AND A TAX CODE FOR THE UNINFORMED. There are a lot of uninformed people posting on X after the IRS released the tax brackets. A lot. @WatchTheBreaks @Steve_Grad

Exactly. Goodness our schools suck
Replying to @The_OrangeBlack
I don’t think you understand how taxes work lol. First off you get a standard deduction. Or even better if you have write offs, married, kids, etc. What this means is to use your example: $50k you subtract standard deduction ($16,600) IRS treats your income as 34k. You are taxed at each threshold. So first 12.8 you pay $1680 Next 21 you’re paying approx $2500 You’re paying around $4100 tax single with no write offs on 50k. An effective tax rate of 8%. You only pay the rate for income over the amount in each table. Hopefully you finish highschool some day and learn this.

Truth
This is a reminder that 100 Grand is still the most underrated chocolate bar of all time. It should be in everyone’s top 5.

Badass
The oldest piece in my collection has turned 227 years old. A letter to Capt. Abraham Shepherd from Alexandria to Shepherdstown, which was named after his father. In order to get free postage, Washington signed the envelope. Washington’s signature was graded a 9 by @psacard.

Wow
The Kill 'Em All lineup, all four signatures on one sleeve. Metallica's "Jump in the Fire" 12", VMG Signature Series. Bonus: the "Live Side" on the back? Studio recordings with crowd noise dubbed in. 🤘

And the Artbox autos and prop cards. How these didn't make the list is mind boggling
Top 8 Harry Potter collectibles with a 10X in 10 year potential! I’m looking at Harry Potter through the same lens I use for any great collectible… cultural importance, rarity, condition, the age of the collector, the recently of value creation, what new content is driving the opportunity, and how many serious collectors may want to own the best examples 10 years from now. If I were building a list of categories with the potential to deliver 10x returns, I’d start with (1) the 1997 Philosopher’s Stone the first edition, first printing; (2) the first edition, second printing; and (3) the softcover first edition, first printing. I’d also look hard at (4) first edition, first printing copies of Books 2 through 7 signed by J.K. Rowling. The rarest early books may be (5) the uncorrected proofs: the four known styles across Books 1, 2, and 3, especially the exceptionally rare Chamber of Secrets proof cover. Then there are the pieces that take you inside the making of the world: (6) original scripts, (7) storyboards, and (8) screen-used movie props with clear provenance and a strong connection to an iconic scene. I’d add the (9) original Wizards of the Coast trading cards and (10) original Harry Potter art, especially important book-cover art. The best Harry Potter collectibles connect to a franchise that has shaped generations of readers and moviegoers. That doesn’t make 10x a sure thing; it makes these categories worth studying closely, with rarity, authenticity, condition, and entry price doing a lot of the work.

Good stuff
NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why nobody eats Crumbl Cookies anymore Crumbl Cookies went from a single store in Utah to more than 1,000 locations in less than seven years, becoming one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in America. At its peak, the average store was generating more than $1.8 million a year. But by 2026, the story had changed dramatically. More than 20 locations closed in a single week, and some franchisees who had put their homes and savings on the line were facing serious financial losses. Just a year ago, Crumbl seemed unstoppable. After all, selling cookies to Americans sounds like a business that should be almost impossible to mess up. So how did one of the fastest-growing food chains in the country suddenly start falling apart? This is the rise and fall of Crumbl Cookies.

Just amazing. Year over year growth is just insane
first numbers from september indicate a ~$945m monthly volume on card ladder's industry tab as we've seen for many months over the last two years, that's a new record high i expected september's number to dip, as it did in 2025 following august's peak, but no retreat (yet?)

Dammit. Just shy of 40HR and 100 RBI
Rafael Devers will miss the rest of the season with a core muscle injury, per the team. He ends his first full season in San Francisco with 37 HR and 98 RBI.

Make that #35
Rafael Devers loves the game of baseball, shows up to work EVERY single day, and ALWAYS gets back to hitting the piss out of the ball. And yet I’m reminded of how lazy and selfish he is by fellow Red Sox fans. He’s never once thrown shade at his former team since being traded. And we booed him. We’re pretty dumb. And brainwashed. Alas… so it goes. Big HR number #34 today. Interesting number. Most HR in MLB since June 1st other than the guy who is going to win NL MVP (PCA).
