Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
OK I'll say it! Is the DOJ sung Apple because they don't work well with others or because they don't fall in line with the government wants? Makes you wonder. As much as I don't trust big tech - I don't trust this DOJ even more... What do you think people are more "out" on - anything new from George R.R. Martin or the New York Jets? The last versions of both turned off a lot of people. Personally I'm out completely on both... What was faster? CNN going from saying that Mar-a-Lago is only worth $18 million to saying the property is worth hundreds of millions? Or CNN saying CNN+ is a great idea to cancelling CNN+ for being an unprofitable mess?... RFK Jr. is set to announce his running mate in Oakland on March 26th. Guessing or hoping it will be Tulsi Gabbard... It's tough to follow politics and not think that most Democrats are weasels and most Republicans are spineless and that both parties are corrupt. Sad but true!... The FDA has gone from calling Ivermectin horse de-wormer and preventing any doctors from prescribing it to a court preventing it from censoring sites and ending its war of words on Ivermectin. It was never about science with the FDA but always about the Benjamins... Manhattan, the largest school district in NY, has adopted a resolution banning transgender students from competing in sports against biological females. Reminder that NY is among the Bluest of states and that Joe Biden signed an Executive Order in support of transgender athletes on his FIRST day in office. Support even within the party is evaporating... You would think that the easiest path for Shohei Othani to take would be to claim that any confusion on his part is because of a difference in language since he clearly cannot trust his interpreter who illegally gambled millions. His legal team probably will suggest he takes this path forward... Business idea: you could combine the latest iteration of AI with the latest iteration of Deep Fake technology to have a classic version of Walter Cronkite do a daily 1/2 hour newscast. Guessing the numbers would regularly beat most cable TV shows. Or you could have Strong Bad read the news and get even better results... The other sports debate topic of the day is whether Kentucky should just pay the $33 million buy-out and get a new basketball coach instead of John Calipari. Be careful what you wish for oh spoiled ones…
