Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Amused to see the demise of both Diversity and Inclusion as a C-level corporate position and of ESG as an investment tool as most of America are coming to their senses and refusing to play stupid games... Good move by Luke Bryan to pull all his videos off of CMT. Not sure if he's truly standing by Jason Aldean or abandoning the sinking ship that is CMT. All the folks who called for the pulling of Aldean's video face ZERO repercussions while the people who make their livelihood off CMT get to watch their network burn to the ground. Meanwhile Luke Bryan is in the news and his approval is soaring... The far-Left of the Democratic Party is attacking RFK Jr. because they fear him as a much better candidate than Joe Biden. Now the conservative wing of the Republic Party seems to be attaching him for similar reasons. Got Kennedy at+$1,200… Awesome - the Miss Italy contest announced that only a woman from birth is eligible to win their contest. Talk about coming to your senses. Wonder how it'll do in the ratings?... The NYT won Pulitzer Prizes for spreading misinformation about Joseph Stalin and about Russian collusion. They haven’t returned either. Think on that the next time you renew your subscription (hey why not Subscribe here instead!)... Who knew? Young seals are born not knowing how to swim. Did not know that... Amused by the Bounty commercial with the young couple putting together a a new table when the woman notices some screws were not installed. The man then knocks over a drink that threatens to ruin the instructions. Amused because these are the same people who misread or didn't read the directions in the first place... Persuasive Fallacies would be a good name for a blog or Substack account... When people in Hollywood fall into a cult people are surprised. Don’t understand why - by volunteering to go to Hollywood they are volunteering for a cult in the first place… Have to admit that I’ve long thought about getting a Go Pro camera and just posting videos of my hikes so people could appreciate the tranquility virtually. Now I see Kevin Kelly mentioning people doing similar videos about their walks around Tokyo at night. Wonder if I have have missed my window…
