  In 1999 I had more spending power due to not having a cell phone, streaming service, or internet, except for my 750 free hours of AOL. I "rented" movies from the library. I also read a lot more back then.

  @AOL We don’t care, @AOL. Nobody with a functioning brain and a Spotify playlist cares. The world collectively decided years ago that Michael Jackson is untouchable, the allegations were a clown show, and you sad, jobless click-farm goblins are still out here recycling the same dusty script like it’s 2005 and people still trust you. Newsflash: they don’t. The King left the building, left the ranch, left the haters in the dirt, and his legacy is doing victory laps while you beg for engagement with “shocking” headlines that wouldn’t shock a houseplant. Touch some grass. Stream some Thriller. Or better yet, get a real job instead of farming MJ drama for pennies. The people have spoken: MJ forever, your pathetic “gotcha” content never. Stay irrelevant. 🖕

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  Star Wars Timeline (Ben) 🇷🇺🇺🇸 (@SWT_Channel) reported 14 minutes ago

  @JamesKruczek Like I said, it ain't about a **** measuring contest. That's a 12 year old's domain of debate. I always extended the olive branchi between EU books and Disney's canon books which I read for a first hand exp. to properly praise or criticise them in my reviews. All of it stopped when we all figured out their retarded tactic of slurring the fandom for Disney's financial woes and blaming "toxic male" men with feminist slogans. It's a shame because some modern SW comics were great until they started making everyone gay and introducing "the message". Either way, Disney never gave their "Canon" the chance to shine or compare to the infinitely more compelling epic scope of 40+ year EU world, second only maybe to Warhammer 40K lore. I have a hard time believing you even now, that you couldn't find a single EU novel compelling. Really? Not even one? If you hate them that's fine. Personal opinions are no chip off my shoulder. I can only speak to what I observed at my comic shop and tens of thousands of Star Wars fans I interacted with over the years, from AOL chat rooms, to Prequel fan site message boards, to NYC libraries and my film school. Love it or hate it, most of us knew it as Star Wars canon. We never threw the term around because it wasn't necessary to call spade a spade.

  @MattWalshBlog I guarantee the neonatologists advised them to abort. I was 43 when I had my last and we refused the amniocentesis. They were horrified that we might have a child with aol kinds of health issues. We still resisted. It didn't matter she was Ours. She's 13 and perfect.

  OpenAI Is Forecasting Something That Has Never Happened in 75 Years of Market History Morgan Stanley's Mauboussin studied every 5-year sales growth run for US public companies since 1950. Nearly 19,300 firm-period observations. Fastest ever: AOL at 103% CAGR, and even that was a merger artifact with Time Warner. OpenAI's projection: $13.1bn (2025) → $284bn (2030). An 85% CAGR from a base no company that size has ever compounded from. The earlier $184bn-by-2029 forecast implied 118%. The mean 5-year nominal CAGR in the data: 6.9%, with 11.1% standard deviation. OpenAI's forecast sits 9 to 10 standard deviations out. Mauboussin's caveat is fair, base rates are dynamic and the past doesn't make it impossible. But it would be the single greatest growth achievement in the history of public markets. Price it accordingly.

  @art_zucker The problem is, they’ve got you all conditioned to pay for tokens like minutes on AOL.

  23. **Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today due to global credit declines and equity write-downs. 24. **Alcatel (2001)** — Suffered massive merger-related write-downs and market destruction during the telecom equipment collapse, crossing the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted threshold. 25. **Swiss Re (2008)** — Incurred tens of billions in asset impairments and structured credit losses during the financial crisis, placing its real-loss event at the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted mark. The Three Eras of Corporate Destruction What stands out is how concentrated these losses are. The Dot-Com and Telecom Collapse (2000–2002) The telecom bubble produced the single greatest concentration of corporate losses ever observed. AOL Time Warner, JDS Uniphase, Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Vivendi, Alcatel, and NTT all appear on the list. Trillions of dollars in market value evaporated as companies wrote down acquisitions, fiber networks, wireless licenses, and internet-related assets purchased at bubble-era valuations. The Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, and Mitsubishi UFJ all suffered enormous losses as mortgage securities, derivatives, and structured credit markets collapsed. Unlike many dot-com write-downs, these losses reflected real capital destruction that threatened the stability of the global financial system. Industry-Specific Collapses General Motors appears three separate times on the list, highlighting decades of structural challenges within the auto industry. United Airlines reflects the severe financial strain associated with bankruptcy and restructuring. Nakheel demonstrates how quickly even seemingly unstoppable real-estate booms can reverse. The Half-Trillion-Dollar Club The four largest losses alone account for nearly $470 billion in inflation-adjusted value destruction: * **AOL Time Warner (2002):** ~$143 billion * **AIG (2008):** ~$128 billion * **JDS Uniphase (2001):** ~$104 billion * **Fannie Mae (2009):** ~$94 billion Combined, these four annual losses destroyed more value than the current market capitalization of many of the world's largest public companies. The lesson from this ranking is simple: the biggest corporate losses rarely occur because a company has a bad quarter or even a bad year. They happen when an entire narrative breaks—whether it is internet mania, telecom euphoria, housing prices that supposedly never fall, or financial engineering that appears risk-free until suddenly it isn't.
