Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley on Liberal Democrats calling for saving democracy through bloodthirsty means. That's how we get events like last night. And they know it!
- Donnie Wahlberg offered 50% of his salary if Boston Blue could be filmed in Boston but it was too expensive. So you're seeing Toronto instead.
- What's next for Red Sox after firing Alex Cora.
- Take the 52-week Black and White film challenge. Seen a number of these films multiple times and some have already been remade in color. Don't think it would work for all films especially comedies but don't be surprised to see some re-makes come out.
Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The big news of the day was of an active shooter at the White House Correspondents Dinner and the Red Sox firing coach Alex Cora. In my opinion the WHCD "nerd prom" should be cancelled completely - it has long outlived its usefulness - and Boston owner John Henry should sell the team. Don't think I'm alone in holding these opinions.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley on the legality of the redistricting map voted for by Virginia. Reminder the voters of Virginia also voted to secede from the Union - ask Robert E. Lee if that vote was overturned.
- The climate change function problem.

Didn't watch any of last night's Day 2 of the NFL Draft. A list of who picked who will be available this morning and you really won't know if the pick was successful until once they players start seeing game action in the fall. Better spent that time watching the Celtics beat the 76ers.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda and ANZAC Day
Today is ANZAC Day and it always makes me think of this song - especially this version.

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Elon's Endgame. The timeline and plan makes sense but I can't shake the feeling this is also the backstory of a real-life Bond or Dr. Who villain,
- The workers opting to retire instead of taking on AI. (HT Steve Landry)

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- A hundred robots are running a biolab. This seems to be the future of labs. You consult with a human but all the work wil be done by AI and robots.
- From the archives: The Winner's Edge.
- Iran's economy runs on oil and they are running out of runway.
- Anna Mara College to close after spring semester because of financial pressure. This one hits hard because it's local and well known to me.
Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Patriots moved up from the 31st pick in the NFL draft to the 28th to pick OT Caleb Lomu of Utah who was rated as the last of the first round caliber tackles in the draft before the prospects drop off quite a bit. I did not stay up for the pick but must have gone to bed slightly just before it. Hard to get too excited about a potential swing tackle anyway.

College Football Thought
Was having these thoughts anyway and figured I may as well jot them down and share on Substack. I miss Mike Leach.

Tonight is the first night of the NFL Draft and I hope your favorite team makes great picks. I won't be watching (I may check online to see who picked who). Though I remain staunchly against pre-draft mocks I still find myself listening to Todd McShay's podcast. That may be hypocritical but I find him entertaining and his pod is good to fall asleep to while I nap during the day.

Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Celtics lost to the 76ers and the Bruins beat Buffalo. Both series are now tied at 1-1. I enjoy drama but not in my playoff series. Can't shake the feeling the leagues are using officials to manufacture results. Maybe that's just me.

Jordan Peterson on Resentment
"But resentment always means one of two things. Either the resentful person is immature, in which case he or she should shut up, quit whining, and get on with it, or there is tyranny afoot - in which case the person subjugated has a moral obligation to speak up. Why? Because the consequence of remaining silent is worse." - Jordan Peterson 12 Rules for Life
This is true! If you don't act and speak up this may haunt you for the rest of your life.

- Have surtaxes and tax increases on high earners led to more tax revenues?
- The Internet is real life. "News now exists to summarize things that have already happened online."

Warren Buffett says if the top 800 firms all paid the same in taxes as Berkshire-Hathaway did that income taxes could be removed. But isn't that what President Trump is trying to do with reciprocal tariffs? Guess Warren Buffett is a big Trump supporter - right?
