DoomCoin
Remember the marvelously-named Glauber Contessoto? Of course you don’t. But you may recall him by his more famous moniker, the Dogecoin Millionaire.

“I’m seeing bargain-prices for high-quality stocks everywhere.”

American Splendor
It’s been frequently said here on Slope that George Carlin is our patron saint. Most folks probably consider that a kind mark of respect for the man, but I honestly believe that George Carlin was one of the greatest Americans to even live.
I am sincere. When I say one of the greatest Americans, I put him up there with the likes of Benjamin Franklin (not quite Abraham Lincoln level, but still, way up there). And I use “American” very deliberately, because he embodies for me the properties that I believe made this country great – – – a strong will, fierce independence, the ability to think deeply, the propensity to articulate thoughts well, and the willingness to express himself.
