Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Milky Way Galaxy is warped and twisted, not flat.
- Your move, pessimists
- Interesting look at the staying power of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The rise and fall of superhero Robert Mueller. Matt Taibbi does a nice job in summarizing the religious furor the left gave to Mueller. Give Taibbi credit he does have a talent for turning a phrase.
- And speaking of good writing - this is an example of why Jackie Mac is the best NBA writer on the planet.
- Video reminder of why Ty Law was one of the greatest defensive backs in NFL history. Also made me smile to be reminded how much Law absolutely owned Peyton Manning.
- Dianne Francis on the bungled legalization of cannabis in Canada. That "black market dope continues to sell for nearly half the price of the legal stuff" is just the start of the issues in America's hat.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Expectations in Boston are such for the Bruins that any season that ends before the May 5th anniversary of Bobby Orr flying through the air after beating the St Louis Blues in 1970 is deemed a failure... Crossover movie idea - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Infinity Stone... This is 100% true... Is it just me or did the entire national media agree to forget that Senator Dianne Feinstein employed a Chinese spy as her personal driver for years? Seems to me that should have been a bigger story... This is insane! And this zoomable photo is just our galaxy. We are so infinitesimal... "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin... A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you but don't start anything."...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Incredible the difference a week makes. Even though the waters may have receded the damage caused will take months to fix.
- Interesting - scientists discover new form of black hole at heart of Milky Way
- Heh heh - we've all been there Hulkster. And we've also made this vow (only to later break it)
- Footprints suggest mankind may be much older than previously thought
- Insane workout!
- I really do wish Isaiah Thomas full health and nothing but the best. I hope Cleveland loves him as much as Celtics fans

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Gary Kasparov on the danger Trumps poses as an unwitting (or witting) agent of Putin.
- I really want to go somewhere where the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye. This is breathtaking.
- John McEnroe with maybe the best first pitch ever thrown
- In depth long read on why maybe the war on PED's should be ended. I'm of two minds on the subject. I think sports PEDs hurt the use of regular people in their search of better, longer lives but I also don't want parents putting kids on PEDs because they want their kids to be the best.
- Golf fight! Golf fight!
- Things that make you say "Hmmmm..." The one joke Trump banned from his Comedy Central Roast.

- Belichick gets drunk and lets people know what he's really thinking (NSFW language)
- Who is Sam Adams rooting for on Sunday? Why the Patriots of course
- This is what people in Massachusetts have to deal with all the time. Good bet guy's name is Sully or Fitzy or sum such. (NSFW language)
- Interesting article on Ernie Adams - the Patriots mystery man
- I've read this JK Rowling story before but it's still touching.
- Awe inspiring - the Milky Way as seen from Chile.
