Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The American Affordability Tracker. These numbers are scary.
- Protect College Sports Act crosses another major hurdle.
- Jonathan Turley: Princeton faculty reach perfect zero support for Republicans. Don't look at what people say - look at what they do.
UNC Statement on the Football Investigation
Well Mike Lombardi retained attorney Tom Mars and I'm guessing they are considering this far from closed. This may be just the first shots in the battle. Don't think this is just a Tar Heel matter either - this may be a canary in the coal mine battle for the control of the university itself. The sports programs or the university bureaucrats?
Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The nation's GDP grew at 5.1% and the economy is strong and the average American family is making more than ever. But because of high interest rates and inflation Americans feel they are paying way too much in mortgage or rent payments and the gas price at the pump continues to be an issue. The Republicans may be facing a surprising answer to the question - are you better off than you were 4-years ago? Things need to change.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley: Senator Rand Paul introduces Birthright Citizenship Amendment. He's not wrong but asking red states and blue states to have a serious debate at this time is expecting too much.
- US cities where your money buys the best quality of life in America.
- Fed approves interest rate hike - signals one more may be coming this year. This is the opposite of good for homeowners or people looking to buy or sell homes.

Tonight marks the return of NFL action on Thursday nights on Amazon Prime as the Bills open their new stadium vs the Detroit Lions. I know what I'll be watching. Originally got Amazon Prime for the free shipping (I hate shopping in person). Perhaps other streamers should follow suit? Subscribe to Netflix and get free Internet or ESPN and get a free subscription to The Athletic (free subscription to the NYT doesn't count - I'd prefer something of value).

Was having these thoughts anyway and figured may as well just them down and post on Substack.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- It's a great time to discover the genuine you.
- VDH: The fantasy house of Mark Carney.
- I'm going to pivot instead and say he should run for President. Print up those Mitch McConnell for President 2028 bumper stickers. They could even outsell the Voldemorte for President ironic ones.
- From the archives: Leadership lessons from 2,400 years ago.
Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

It's quiet on the world news stage - the mid-terms, tariffs, Iran - everything. Too quiet. It's like all the news is waiting for Friday which has become the new news dump day for a completely different reason.

Antifragile
"Authors, artists, and even philosophers are much better off having a vey small number of fanatics behind them than a large number of people who appreciate their work. The number of people who dislike the work don't count - there is no such thing as the opposite of not buying your book, or the equivalent of losing points in a soccer game, and this absence of negative domain for book sales provides the author with a measure of optionality."
This sounds a lot like Kevin Kelly's One Thousand True Fans. Not inferring one copying the other only that when multiple people tell you something is true - follow their advice!
Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

KC beat Denver 31-10 last night on MNF and Kenneth Walker III ran for 173 yards and a TD. He's going to be a big difference maker for the Chiefs this year. Meanwhile fans in Seattle say "Why can't we get a RB like that?"

- Which US states have the most tress per population? Was surprised by New Mexico.
- Cool.
- Kevin Kelly: Robot Basketball. Not sure if I'd watch robot basketball but robot football as the Jetsons prophesied that's completely different.
- The Brennan case keeps growing. Good - put him in jail!

Admit I confuse Jim and John Harbaugh but wasn't the one who coaches the Chargers supposed to have won and the one who coaches the Giants supposed to have lost yesterday? Not the other way around?

- Jonathan Turley: The dangerous evolution of Gavin Newsom.
- Yep, the singularity has begun. The future is already here, it's just not equally distributed.
- Jalen Hurts - the NFL's most cryptic QB.
- Restraint has no price. The problem of using other people's work - but whatever happened to sanding on the shoulder of giants?

Antifragile
"With personal risk, you can easily barbell yourself by removing the chances of ruin in any area. I am personally completely paranoid about certain risks, then really aggressive with others. The rules are: no smoking, no sugar (particularly fructose), no motorcycles, no bicycles in town or more generally outside a traffic free area such as the Sahara desert, no mixing with the Eastern European mafia, and no getting on a plane not flown by a professional pilot (unless there is a co-pilot). Outside of these I can take all manner of professional and personal risks, particularly those in which there is no risk of terminal injury...
So take for now that a barbell strategy with respect to randomness results in achieving antifragility thanks to the mitigation of fragility, the clipping of downside risks of harm - reduced pain from adverse events, while keeping the benefits of potential gains."
You'll have to read the book to understand the barbell strategy. Not bad life advice.

Somewhere there's someone who developed an AI agent to pick football games to bet on but after huge favorites Oregon and Oklahoma lost yesterday - they are rethinking using the agent for today's NFL action. You know this is true.
