Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

For many Friday will be remembered as the day that Elon Musk took over Twitter. For many others Friday will be remembered as the day Tom Brady and Gisele's divorce became official. What camp do you fall into?... What do you think the approval rating would be for Governors DeSantis or Abbott if they issued Executive Orders authorizing the use of deadly force against any protestor trying to deface priceless works of art in either Florida or Texas? Or instead of an Executive Order they could simply state that any security guard who shot one of these protestors would automatically get a pardon from the governors office... Wow - just wow!... Two suggestions for Elon Musk as he takes over Twitter. He should have a special feature allowing communities to advertise farmers markets and for people who live near those communities to find farmers markets near them. Then also do the same thing for live music. Bands could have a Twitter account and post their gigs with a hashtag where the event is being held. Just adding two tabs to Twitter could make this happen. Think of all the times you've wondered "Are there any good bands playing tonight?" You could do the same for high school sports or movies in your area. Make Twitter more of a destination for what's happening in real life (in contrast to Meta)... Shouldn’t laugh at this but… Always amused when I see someone misspell Ernest Hemingway as "Earnest" Hemingway because the real Hemingway was a bit of a cynic who saw life in a real and gritty way while I picture this "Earnest" Hemingway as a writer who, in my imagination, is always sunny in disposition and a bit naïve to the ways of the world... Looking forward to all the arguments about repealing Article II of the Constitution so that Elon Musk can be President. You know that's coming...  Hockey coaches are the best coaches… Don't forget that Anthony Fauci authorized gruesome experiments on puppies. Do you think that someone who tortures puppies would care about you kid?... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
