Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

People who are upset at the Navy for using a drag queen for recruiting purposes must have never heard the Village People's song In the Navy growing up... The NFLPA (NFL Players Association) has sent an email to all player agents letting them know that the recent player suspensions for gambling were because the players were using mobile apps on their phones and the gambling company they were betting with informed the NFL. This should be a wake-up call for players but also for ordinary citizens. The gambling apps have sophisticated tracking and data collection capabilities. And apparently the gaming houses have no trouble sharing that data... Wonder if corporate media's support for a "cashless society" would change if someone attached a rider to the bill that required a newspaper-less society first. Why have all that waste of printed newspapers if you're also advocating for no more paper cash?... James Clear once wrote, "If someone took control of your life tomorrow, what's the first thing they would change?' The answer is always something you know yourself that needs to change in your life. Good advice... I can foresee a future with almost limitless entertainment possibilities thanks to AI. Give me Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as performed by Rugrats. Or how about give me Who's on First as performed by Lawrence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh dressed in Shakespearian garb. Limitless...  Would love to see a comeback of the word "lowerarchy." Would be a good descriptor of the so-called experts who are ALWAYS wrong in their predictions... Just as an aside Robert Kennedy Jr. is +$1200 as the Democratic Presidential nominee. May be worth tossing aside $50... If I ran a studio and was faced with a prolonged writers strike - I would consider filling airtime with pilots that were never picked up but are in the studio library. Failed Pilots would get many people to tune in just out of curiosity and these pilots have already been paid for. Win-win... People who describe what’s happening to Bud Light a “boycott” don’t understand. What’s happening isn’t a boycott - it wasn’t organized and boycotting a product normally implies that there’s a going back to the product at some point. There’s no going back to Bud Light for the people who have now switched to Miller Lite, Coors Light, or some other product. Nobody’s going back to Bud Light… As always, if anything made you think or smile, please Subscribe (it's FREE), hit the Like button, or share with others. Thanks for your support...
