Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Not to be outdone a Washington state traffic judge has ruled Michigan ineligible for the College Football National Championship... Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas once bragged that he has reversed so many Trump immigration policies that they were too numerous to list. How about listing the laws you have broken or kept people from enforcing? Can you list those?... The Buddha knows… In the US statistics say that 85% of children born to upper-class families are raised by both of their parents, only 30% percent of those born to working class couples are are. Yet somehow goals set in this country remain that each child get a college degree and not that couples stay together and increase their financial well-being... Elon Musk announces that Grok AI will soon have a standard feature of reading each proposed bill in front of Congress and translate it to common English so voters will know exactly what's in a bill. The hope is this will make it harder for corrupt elected officials to sneak in bad laws. Good for him. Hope this works... When you see how bad Google's Gemini AI actually is it also gives you an idea what those 75% of employees Twitter let go were spending their time on... Reportedly kids from attentive families find themselves in the best position to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Kids that are neglected or maltreated easily miss the same opportunities when they arise. Makes sense... Hard to believe but The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey turned 80-years old yesterday... Frank Hebert famously said, "The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but only have course of action in mind." This is especially true of healthcare professionals and doubling true if you are acting on behalf of an animal who can't speak for themselves. If you go to a surgeon don’t be surprised if they can only see surgery as a solution... Rob Henderson writes writes that, "Knowledge alone isn't enough. For children, having a stable environment with two parents who implement rules, provide attentive care, and cultivate a sense of security goes a long way." Think one of the best things can do is to teach kids to make good choices. That habit sticks with people... Macho Sherlock would be a good name for a band...
