Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Did not know that the former HQ for Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway was in New Bedford, Mass. I'll have to make sure not to mention this to any older townies I may meet... Sad to learn that the voice of Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, Johnny Hardwick, has passed away... Kurt Vonnegut one envelope story. Love me some Vonnegut... The Hollywood screenwriters and actors are still on strike for - who cares?... The things you learn on the Internet; the former head of the CDC, Dr. Tom Frieden , was fired for being a sexual abuser. You have to Google those words in order to learn this because he must be a donor and his profile is whitewashed... Got to say that David Portnoy selling Barstool for $551 million to ESPN and then buying it back from Penn for $1 is a boss move. How can you not like this?... The destruction of Lahania is one of the saddest and more under reported stories of our time. Pray for the survivors... Surprised some are staggered by reports that Phil Michelson bet over $1 billion in a 10-year period. So what? Those 10-years he was probably making $100 million in golf and endorsements and winning 40% plus of his bets or maybe even winning. Saying he was losing this amount doesn't have the shame shock value and just puts him alongside Michael Jordan in people's minds... The most listened to song in the world... Bill Gates visiting Epstein Island 36 times and never explaining why and not being pressed on it by the press coupled with Bill Gates saying he might support blocking out the sun to help climate change and getting loads of stories is a perfect exhibit why most people don't support the press... The Elon Musk / Mark Zuckerberg cage match looks like its happening and will take place at the Coliseum uf Rome. This might be an epoch defining event...
