September 11th Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Every year we get further from that fateful day we seem to get less angry, sad, and vengeful. Maybe that's a good thing that we look forward and not stay stuck in time. But at the same time I mourn our forgetfulness and fear what the 26th anniversary and beyond may bring.

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
It was the best of halfs - it was the worst of halfs. In the first half last night Seattle had lots of penalties and the Pats played mistake free. In the second half - Drake Maye threw three interceptions and the Seahawks came back to win the game 13-10.

- Kevin Kelly: Argument in favor of AI Fair Use. I'm OK with this in the abstract but in the real world it could be used for outright stealing. Is it fair use to change just a word in a joke or a tweet?
- From the archives: Montaigne's rule for reading.
- Why the AfD wins. Good history and background on the popularity of the AfD. (HT Execupundit)
- This is cool. So nice of the cartels to give us target practice.
Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Tonight marks the return of the NFL with a rematch of last year's Super Bowl between Seattle and New England. The game kicks off at 8:20 EST and I for one am hoping for a much different outcome this time around.

- Is President Trump building a new world order? Sure seems like it - good!
- AfD wins big in regional German election. The AP calls them "far right" but doesn't that mean the previous party in power was far left? How come the AP never used that language.
- How AI tools are changing research, communication, and education.
Where the Slaves Were Actually Shipped from Africa
Notice the small amount that was actually shipped to the colonies. Yet white guilt seems to belong only to Americans.
