Bill Murray - It Ain't Necessarily So

 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.

Happy 74th Birthday to Bill Murray

The Razors Edge

"I found something wonderfully satisfying in the notion that you can attain Reality by knowledge. In later ages the sages of India in recognition of human infirmity admitted that salvation may be won by the way of love and the way of works, but they never denied that the noblest way, though the hardest, is the way of knowledge, for the instrument is the most precious faculty of man, his reason." Larry Darryl The Razors Edge

The W. Somerset Maugham book is one of my favorites and I re-read it on a regular basis. Strangely I have Bill Murray to thank for it.

Happy 73rd Birthday to Bill Murray

3. Kindergarten Cop

4. Meatballs (Bill Murray's first starring role)

5. Dave (have a soft spot in my heart for this flick)

RIP

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Starlink's latest reported speeds are 97 Mbps down and 14 Mbps up.  Pretty good but the upload speeds may bot be acceptable for many applications.

- 4.5% of the general adult population are psychopaths. Yeah but are they vaccinated?

- I want this painting! 

- Article may be sensational but truth is getting accurate VAERS data is near impossible. And the question has to be asked - why is that? My guess is the true number of adverse reaction deaths to the vaccines will dwarf the number of elderly deaths in nursing homes. Skeptical about the high number of children being paralyzed though.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Serious question - can the autopen be used for all Presidential signings or do some things require both an original signature and witnesses? It is truly sad that its come to this... Really think Danny Ainge should purposefully leak that he inquired with the 76ers about the availability of Joel Embid at the trade deadline just to mess with Philly fans...  He's got a good point... Route 15 in Vermont is officially The Grand Army of the Republic Highway. I believe local history classes teach that's the route Abraham Lincoln used to lead his Union Army to Gettysburg... Checking the Internet to see if Dr. Larry Nasser was killed in prison. - Disappointed with the result of the search...
