Ever since I first saw this I haven't watched the draft. You know most mock drafts are just made up guesses and as Bill Belichick points out most of the pre-draft info you see from "insiders" is coming from player agents. Don't waste your time.

Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
My posts have become more political recently but that's not by design. There's many issues I don't even mention - like Laken Riley's killer being illegally pardoned by the Department of Homeland Security, Mark Milley intentionally standing down on Jan 6th, or Trump's NYC trial jury selection. These topics are both sad and exhaustion and probably like you I already know what I think about the subjects. As always - please Subscribe, hit the Like button, or share the Link. Thanks!

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Dan Wetzel on Robert Kraft should be thanking Bill Belichick, not taking shots behind his back. It should be noted that Belichick has done nothing but take the high road in this drama and his stature has only grown because of it. Kraft meanwhile...
- Marc Andreessen on Google Gemini on AI, Google's "Don't Be Evil" went out the window a long time ago.

Jack Edwards announced his retirement as the Bruins play-by-play man at the end of the season. Just wish Boston could have given him a better regular season sendoff instead of losing 3-1 to Ottawa last night at the TD Garden. May the road rise to meet you Jack.

NPR Suspends Editor
NPR suspends editor who objected to bias and lack of diversity at company. Enough is enough - defund the taxpayer funded NPR now (and PBS too while we're at it). Sadly this could be true!

The New Patriots Day
April 16th really should be a holiday in the New England states. The date is both the anniversary of Tom Brady being drafted by the Patriots in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL draft and Bill Belichick's birthday. Easily could be a holiday.
Problem is Patriots' Day is already a holiday in Massachusetts (and Maine) which is celebrated since 1969 on the third Monday in April (yesterday). The holiday is supposed to celebrate the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord but that anniversary is technically the 19th of April. Locally this holiday is more known as Marathon Monday as it is the day the Boston Marathon is run (and the Red Sox play a morning game at Fenway).
There should be a way to incorporate Brady and Belichick after all they meant to the region. It would be interesting if more New England states recognized the holiday because they were included.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
One thing I noticed was that the Nautilus was described as an all-electric vessel. This would make it the first EV described in history long predating the advent of an electric or gas power automobile.
