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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- A Catechism for Robots. Surprised Isaac Asimov was never mentioned.
- 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?

Have a post up on Substack on Louis L' Amour's advice on writing. L' Amour has quickly become a hero of mine and I can't recommend his memoir Education of a Wandering Man enough.
Twice today Louis L' Amour was brought up to me and I guess I just took the hint from the universe.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Playing God - Human Genome, CRISPR, and AI changing the game.
- A need for candor. People need to know the rules and the consequences.
- Jonathan Turley on what the defeat of Orban means for the EU. I disagree with the conclusion this is good for the EU.

Today is Patriots Day here in Massachusetts to celebrate the Battle of Lexington and Concord and "the shot heard round the world." It's more commonly known locally as Marathon Monday with the running of the Boston marathon and a morning Red Sox game at Fenway. It has traditionally been one of the great drinking days of the year but the Marathon bombing put a dampen on that.
