Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Still say that one of the worst mistakes Henry Kissinger made was arranging for Nixon to go to China. The West and the world may have been much better off with an all-out war between Russia and China which would have happened if not for the historic visit... The things you learn on the Internet: roughly 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water (this I knew). However, water only makes up 0.12% of the Earth's volume (this I did not know)... Amused by those who claim that the Cybertruck may be the death of Tesla. All other companies lose money on EV's but Tesla is making money on each one made - even the Cybertruck. And that doesn't include all the add ons the Cybertruck brings to table... Two-thirds of the world is covered by water and the other third by Gary Maddux (old baseball saying)... So Disney was happy to take your money and force-feed kids LBGTQ storylines but when people complain they stop advertising on X, take their ball, and go home. This is why their parks need a place for kids throwing a tantrum to go into a time-out... Part of me wonders if Greg Gutfeld has seen how much Tucker Carlson is making now that he's a free agent and Gutfeld is daring Fox to fire him because he wants the same. If Fox News does fire Gutfeld it'll be clear who's really running that platform... Just saying but if X acts on becoming a digital competitor to PayPal - I'm definitely signing up. Haven't used PayPal in years and haven't yet signed up for Venmo... Democrat Dick Durban blocks investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the Democrats on the January 6th commission destroy their "evidence." They think we're stupid and will forget. We're not and we won't... So the guy who killed Derek Chauvin in jail was a "former" FBI informant. Nothing to see here. And people wonder why there's such a sharp rise in conspiracy theorists... Not to be all X-centric today but WalMart pulling their advertising from the platform (I didn't even notice they did advertising on X) means I expect Amazon to have a huge cyber-Christmas as more and more people shop online instead of in person. Once a person gets used to that - they never go back to a physical store either...
