Poor Charlie's Almanac
"You must have the confidence to override people with more credentials than you whose cognition is impaired by incentive-caused bias or some similar psychology force that is obviously present."
"In fact, anytime anybody offers you anything with a big commission and a 200-page prospectus, don't buy it. Occasionally you will be wrong if you adopt Munger's rule. However, over a lifetime, you'll be a long way ahead - and will miss a lot of unhappy experiences that might otherwise reduce your love for your fellow man."
"And it makes sense to load up on the very few good insights you have instead of pretending to know everything about everything at all times."
"You have to figure out where you've got an edge. And you've got to play within your own circle of competence."

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Leadership lessons from Steve Jobs and Simon Sinek.
- Tim Ferriss on the 80/20 rule.
- Jonathan Turley on the Biden pardon. You can't argue that he's wrong.
- Voyager 1 regains its voice and NASA restores communications.47 years old and 15.4 billion miles and counting.
Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Would be interesting if they held a vote of each Canadian province to become a new state in the US under Donald Trump or remain in Canada governed by Justin Trudeau and his ilk from Ottawa how that would turn out. Also we could have a vote in all the states that don't require an ID to vote and if they don't approve ID's - that state gets traded to Canada. I think as a result all states would vote for ID's.

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.
