Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The wildfires in California are tragic and my heart goes out to anyone who has suffered from those fires. But let us not forget anyone who may be still suffering from the devastation of those two hurricanes on the East Coast or the wildfire in Hawaii. Keep them in your prayers too... Has anyone asked Arnold Swartzenegger to comment on the job Governor Gavin Newsome is doing regarding the current wildfires plaguing California?... I want one... Reportedly the Patriots are close to naming Mike Vrabel as their next head coach. Hope that means that Josh McDaniels is also returning as OC. Also wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel reaches out to speak with Bill Belichick just to get any wisdom or advice he'd impart... Think two aspects of Tesla that are underrated are how pervasive their charging stations are and how many manufacturers are simply adopting the same charging standards which means untold charging revenue coming to Tesla in the future. Also don't underestimate the impact that others manufacturers advertising their new models will have on Tesla sales. Implicit in everyone's mind when seeing these commercials is "How does this car compare to a Tesla?" And even if the person chooses the competitor it's not another EV losing out its an ICE vehicle instead... I know I still call it Facebook (not Meta) when I ask you to share this link at the end of this post but that's intentional and sometimes the jokes are just to amuse myself... Interesting stat... A cool use of AI (like ChatGPT) might be to remake a story like Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis using the style of Douglas Adams or any humorous writer. Think that would be amusing. There's hundreds of other similar examples you could think of too... Can't help but think of the story of Adam West and Frank Gorshin being invited to a Hollywood orgy back in the day but the two wouldn't break character of either Batman or the Riddler no matter the circumstance. The two ended up being kicked out for laughing so hard at their joke... Would be interesting to take any magazine or newspaper that did a glowing profile of “the Squad” or one of their members and used those glowing comments as captions to pictures of the devastation from the California wildfires. It’s not just Gavin Newsome and Karen Bass who are incompetent - those idiots are everywhere…
