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

- How the news took over reality. Long but interesting read in which the bottom line is step away from your phone and other screens. For your own good - step away from the screens.

- Heh heh - what do we say to Socialism?

- Pat Forde handicaps the Kentucky Derby

- How darts became the second biggest TV sport in England. I'd watch darts all day!

- Is nuclear fusion about to have its 'SpaceX' moment?

- Fascinating look at the recruiting and training of our Special Forces - the Green Berets - the Quiet Professionals.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the next 12 months this is a real possibility - President Donald Trump wins a Nobel Prize for bringing peace to Korea and the White House Correspondents Dinner ceases to be out of shame... I agree - they should also stop calling it the Nerd Prom. How many discussions on quantum biology or arguments on Gandalf and the eagles do you think were happening at those tables?... Wait - seriously? James Comey's brother Peter works for the Clinton Foundation's law firm DLA Piper? Talk about a conflict of interest... Heh heh - funny because it's true... After hiring Michele Wolf the White House correspondents really don't have any high ground to proclaim that Trump is lowering the level of political discourse in this country...  David Pastrnak is flat out good at hockey... Just saying but the motto of the Green Berets is "the Quiet Professionals". How many White House correspondents do you think could be described as "quiet professionals"? Also how many White House correspondents do you think served in the military? If any are able to check both boxes - what is the likelihood they wasted their time attending "Nerd Prom"?
