MARKETS WITHOUT MORALS

Markets: After falling every day last week, the tech-focused Nasdaq closed higher as Wall Street continues to feel out how the next Trump administration will impact the business world.

But remember: Over the course of the entire year, Utqiagvik will experience the same amount of daylight as Miami, or any other place on Earth, because we all experience the same number of hours of sunlight over 365 days, the Washington Post reported.

Come May 11, 2025, in Utqiagvik, the sun will rise and it won’t set until Aug. 19.

Morning Brew's Opening...

Good morning. Bummed it’s getting dark out so early? Spare a thought for the people living in Utqiagvik, Alaska, 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Yesterday at 1:27pm local time, the sun set…and it won’t rise again until January 22.

For 64 days, residents will be living in what’s known as polar night.

ON this date in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in the crowd that day.

Abe started with "Four score and 7 years ago..."

Bun turned to P and said, damn, a tad pretentious, don't you think?

Mr. P replied, Yep, hope it's short and pointed.

Bun Man said, It's Abe...short speech, short life, long remembered.

(When Presidents were People you could revere)

Historybook: President James Garfield born (1831); President Abraham Lincoln delivers Gettysburg Address (1863); Indira Gandhi, first and only female prime minister of India, born (1917); Actress Meg Ryan born (1961); First lady Rosalynn Carter dies (2023).

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships."

- Abraham Lincoln

If it's any consolation, I was told (by the Boss, that would be the Mikster) this will assist my transition to adulthood.

We got here largely via a PROTEST VOTE...

US citizens had a chance to save democracy, but they chose to protest selection processes rather than save a country.

Cherish the day...

Pardon the intrusion...

I used to be also, that is until there was some spillage in the hallways.

I'm now confined to adult sippy cup.

I'm singing the Charlie Chuckles song as I type.

We couldn't get to United via love, but damn if we aren't getting to ONE STATE via hate.

Ken-Dogger: Well, well, someone's happy this morning.

Clyde: Dude, you know, I've got emotional range.

KD: Wow, emotional range, please, go on.

C: Well, it just seems a lot of peeps are morose and sullen lately, they've forgotten there's a range of emotions out there.

KD: No, they've tasted reality.

C: Perhaps so, but it's a good reminder to let peeps know there is still a wide-open range out there.

KD: Good to know, Clyde, thanks for the startle.

Went to VASA Fitness this morning as I hate riding my bike in the cold...

Car ad comes on...

Don't realize it's a car ad, screen shows

I'm thinking where was this massacre.

TRIP TRIVIA

Yesterday, President Biden became the first sitting president to visit the Amazon.

Here’s a trivia question about presidential travel: In 1906, Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to make an international trip.

Where did he go?

With a reach of 300 million potential customers, it likely amounts to the largest ever “roadblock” (the industry term for this kind of takeover).

Think of it as a test of the emergency broadcast system, but with Paul Mescal saying he will have his vengeance.

Since I'm bald, these comments don't stick.
