Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
With Rhode Island changing the State's official name because of perceived connotations of "Providence Plantations" - should Mass change their official name from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the Republic of Massachusetts to avoid any perceived socialist connotations? One can only hope... Always remember, "Journalists aren't neutral - they're the cavalry in the culture wars." - Naval Ravikant... I think one of the reasons that statues haven't really come under attack in Massachusetts is because history is a big tourist attraction here (Freedom Trail, etc.). And the local politicians know that... "In order for men to do great evil, they must first believe they are doing good." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn... Neural Darwinism can be cured by taking long walks. So many smart people throughout history made taking long walks a part of their daily routine. This was just a fancy way of saying long walks (especially in nature) help keep your brain fresh and active...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Good advice. I'd add that you should also try to minimize your monthly expenses so there are fewer financial pressures.
- Agreed - Comey's book tour is a colossal mistake
- Also true.
- Rhode Island on cusp of passing asinine vaping law. Raising taxes like this always leads to less revenue not more.
- Yes! Yes! And Yes! Along with Carly Simon one of my original crushes.
- And speaking of China - Trump's not launching a trade war with China. He's doing something bigger.
- More good advice.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Rhode Island's possible new state slogans
- My new favorite pastime (and yes I know the joke is old)
- This is the house that Augusta National can't buy
- The one-size golf staff size makes a lot of sense to me
- Cool
- Interesting point - be careful if you are using Tinder or any other "free" apps
- Heh heh
- A reminder that Tom Brady is also a time-traveling drummer
