Linky Links
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Frances Pekins the woman who brought us the weekend.
- Did Bernie Sanders really just say that Elon Musk is right and that cuts are needed? Still say that if any federal department fails an audit they should have their budget cut but that amount since those funds obviously aren't important enough for them to keep track of.
- The debanking of America.. A bank account is a requirement for many government departments and utilities so this can be a political cudgel.
- Poet justice for Jay Bhattacharyya. One of my favorites of Trump's picks.
Spancil Hill - Shane MacGown and Christy Moore
It's been a year since we lost Shane but he's still missed by many (including me).
Joe Biden's Pardon of Hunter Biden
Some thoughts on the Presidential pardon of Hunter Biden:
- The pardon is retroactive to 2014 well before Joe Biden became President but corresponds with Hunter with no experience but being named to Burisma's board of directors.
- This gives Donald Trump just cause to pardon anyone convicted of Jan 6th crimes, anyone jailed for abortion protests and many others as simple victims of "lawfare" because their political beliefs didn't align with the "ruling class."
- This also puts shade on the reputations of the DOJ, the FBI, the intelligence community, the press, and anyone who supported Joe Biden (or Kamala Harris).
- Reminder
- Supposed to be funny but more sad because it's true.
Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Joe Biden's Presidential pardon of Hunter is not only expected - it is both a big FU to the Democratic Party on his way out the White House door but also a way of slanting any pardon by Donald Trump of those convicted of Jan 6th crimes as being politically motivated.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- VDH: Universities have a 2025 rendezvous with reality.
- Andrew Luck to be Stanford football's new GM.
- The greatest media psy-op in history? Hard to argue he's wrong either.
Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Yesterday was a tale of two kickers in unranked Michigan's 13-10 win over 2nd ranked Ohio State. Wolverines Dominic Zvada seemingly couldn't miss going a perfect 2-2 including a 54-yarder while poor Buckeyes kicker Jayden Fielding was just 1-3 and seemingly had the yips. Made the observation at the time that Zvada definitely got laid last night but I worry if Fielding can even appear on campus now.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observation post up on Substack,
Many have seen the story of Boise State's women volleyball team forfeiting a chance at a national championship rather than play against a biological male. I have to wonder if a conference sets a rule that women's sports are for women only - could that be a selling point for universities and public support for joining or staying in a league? Also think any suit against such a rule would be one lawsuit the conference could win in court.

Big Time - Peter Gabriel
Strange as it may sound - every time I heard this song I knew I was going to have a good day.

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- How we got the Lithium-ion battery. Know how useful they are for all electronic devices but was unaware they were first invented by Ford.
- Dolph Lungren given just 2-years to live just announced he was cancer free after 9-year battle. Some good news about a good guy.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- VDH on the fumes of the 2024 election, January 20th can't come soon enough.
- Occult guide to the good life.
- Tim Ferriss interview of Cyan Bannister. Hope you find this podcast to as insightful as I did. Fully admit it has a special place for me because Bill Murray's The Razor Edge holds a special place in my heart.
- Boise State's women's volleyball team forfeits playoff game against SJSU to protest against playing against a transgender player. Have a feeling undoing the pro-transgender Executive Order may be one of Trump's first acts.

Today being Black Friday may I suggest that if you subscribe to the NYT, Boston Globe, or Washington Post that you maybe spend your money being a paid subscriber to my Substack instead. I won't try to mislead you and you may get some new perspectives or laughs along the way. A much better use of your dollar.
