Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Ilhan Omar vows to continue to speak up after being removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee. The people who run GOP fundraising efforts are already sending her thank you cards and hoping she follows through with her promise... What are the odds the Eagles try to run the Philly Special in the Super Bowl? Think if they do it would backfire as it would be hubris and hubris comes before a fall... Elon Musk announced that Twitter will be sharing ad revenue with “creators.” Couple that with his vow to increase video capabilities on the platform and it is clear he’s got YouTube and TikTok square in his sights.

Wonder if Tom Brady deciding to retire will effect Matt Stafford's decision whether to play next season. What QB would want to potentially be on the Hall of Fame ballot the same year as Brady?...

Since Elon is friends with Joe Rogan I wouldn’t be surprised if Austin based comedians are the first to take the plunge of posting on Twitter instead of YouTube… People always talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler but I think if you went back in time and killed Vladimir Lenin as he was boarding the train that took him back to Russia you make a much bigger historical impact… How cold is it in New England? Wind chill temperatures atop Mount Washington reached -104 degrees Fahrenheit - the coldest temperature ever recorded in US history… My mind works differently than most but I think it would be great if the City of Boston unveiled a statue of Tom Brady. They could hire the same guy who did the MLK Jr. statue to make the same statue - but this time make it white...
