September 11th Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Every year we get further from that fateful day we seem to get less angry, sad, and vengeful. Maybe that's a good thing that we look forward and not stay stuck in time. But at the same time I mourn our forgetfulness and fear what the 26th anniversary and beyond may bring.

It was the best of halfs - it was the worst of halfs. In the first half last night Seattle had lots of penalties and the Pats played mistake free. In the second half - Drake Maye threw three interceptions and the Seahawks came back to win the game 13-10.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Kevin Kelly: Argument in favor of AI Fair Use. I'm OK with this in the abstract but in the real world it could be used for outright stealing. Is it fair use to change just a word in a joke or a tweet?
- From the archives: Montaigne's rule for reading.
- Why the AfD wins. Good history and background on the popularity of the AfD. (HT Execupundit)
- This is cool. So nice of the cartels to give us target practice.

Tonight marks the return of the NFL with a rematch of last year's Super Bowl between Seattle and New England. The game kicks off at 8:20 EST and I for one am hoping for a much different outcome this time around.

- Is President Trump building a new world order? Sure seems like it - good!
- AfD wins big in regional German election. The AP calls them "far right" but doesn't that mean the previous party in power was far left? How come the AP never used that language.
- How AI tools are changing research, communication, and education.
Where the Slaves Were Actually Shipped from Africa
Notice the small amount that was actually shipped to the colonies. Yet white guilt seems to belong only to Americans.
Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The federal workforce has been reduced to 1966 levels but is still at 2.67 million employees - so there is still work to do in shrinking the government. At the same time this is happening the economy keeps growing and more net jobs get added every month. Plus the number of federal regulations keep shrinking. These facts are not unrelated.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
While watching what should have been an upset of Michigan by Western Michigan I kept wondering who the back-up QB was to Bryce Underwood because whoever it was probably could have done a much better job. Michigan is a team that by all rights should have CJ Carr as QB but they screwed that up too.

College Football Thoughts
Some week one college football thoughts. We have actual games this weekend but Lane Kiffin keeps trying to suck up all the oxygen in the room. How is this drama act actually helping him or LSU?

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Stayed up to watch the Miami-Stanford game last night but for some reason it didn't occur to me that this was a league game until it dawned on me at half that the West Coast Stanford was part of the East Coast ACC. Obviously knew this fact but perhaps it was so incongruent my brain could accept it at first.
