Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
The problem we see today is so many denying being antisemitic but embodying it anyway. And in most cases very publicly... Reportedly the US has frozen the $6 billion the Biden Administration was giving to Iran via Qatar after the Hamas attacks in Israel. Like anything - have to wait to see if this is true... I can picture Oakland A's Moneyball GM Billy Beane looking at this year's MLB playoffs saying, "See this is what I was talking about"... Can't believe I missed this Japanese holiday... Was not aware of this! Knew that SpaceX included a red Tesla Roadster in the launch of the first Falcon Heavy but was unaware that it included a copy of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in the glove compartment... Not praising Michael Lewis for his new work but I do wonder how many critics who are slamming him for his book on Sam Bankman-Fried lost money on FTX? Won't say anything about Lewis (who I've enjoyed) before actually reading the book. Same reason you don't see me saying anything about The Big Short... My biggest fear is Mac Jones and the Patriots play just good enough and win just enough to think they don't need a new franchise QB via the draft. You can almost see this nightmare unfolding... Was also unaware that Tesla had a joke "Open Butthole" command. Things you can't unlearn... Never forget!... Wonder if it would be possible to arrange a TV series between the College World Series winner and the Single A champs? The players and coaches could be paid in NIL money making it legal. Or an exhibition against the Savanah Bananas baseball team. So let it be written - so let it be done... All Harvard graduates should do this!... Elon Musk famously said, "It's OK to be wrong. Just don't be confident and wrong." Guessing this doesn't apply to baseball umpires who have to committed to every decision... Funny because its true!...
