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

- Navy fires coach Ken Niumatolo after 15-years. Did not see that coming. Guess he lost to Army once too many times. 

- How Fauci Fooled America. Significant to me that this appears in Newsweek (not exactly a right wing outlet - now that Fauci is no longer useful will the media abandon him?)

- Report - US scientists achieve "holy grail" nuclear fusion reaction. This is huge news.

- Twitter Files 4 - the removal of Donald Trump. Perhaps least interested in this Twitter file than any of the others. Maybe because Trump's Twitter account was restored but the Donald showed no interest in rejoining the platform?

We're Edging Closer to Commercially Viable Nuclear Fusion.

A privately funded nuclear fusion device pushes plasma to a record-breaking 100 million degrees in the UK.

Sounds like we're no longer 5-years away from being 5-years away from nuclear fusion. Potentially our grandchildren will live in a world of unlimited power.

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

- How the National Review sold its soul to Google. Next to Bill Kristol nobody lost more prestige and is more of a pariah to both sides than Jonah Goldberg. Devil's advocate says that it's not just National Review that imploded but all magazines the past few years though. 

- Matt Ridley: The radical potential of nuclear fusion. "We are probably less than 15 years away from seeing a fusion power station begin to contribute to the grid."

- Locast has suspended operations.

- Shame! (As if Nancy Pelosi had any idea of the concept.)

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

- Good for Shaq. "Daryl Morey was right."

- Interesting perspective on the situation in Syria and our handling of Turkey.

- CRISPR gene editing just got a major upgrade (but it's still not perfect)

- Interesting - what it's like to take an investment meeting with Naval Ravikant

- Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin announces plan to get back to the Moon by 2024. In my opinion the USA only gets back to the Moon in a timely fashion if Blue Origin or Elon Musk's SpaceX is involved.

- 15 habits of "lucky" people.

- So how close are we to the almost unlimited energy of nuclear fusion - at least 15-years away.

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.

- This blows my mind. I think most people who watch this will then want to buy a pineapple to try it out.

- So this is funny but it also makes me think of the great recent podcast series by Dan Carlin on the build-up to the War in the Pacific

- The Atherstone Ball Game. WTF?

- A visit to Charles Bukowski's grave on the 25th anniversary of his death.

- They drew first blood, not me!

- Cool

- The girl who executed Nazi after seducing them in bars

- Nuclear fusion getting some love from investors.

Nuclear Fusion

Is nuclear fusion power really in our near future? 2030 isn't that far off.
