Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Kentucky Ford battery factory to shutter at cost of 1,600 jobs. Anyone paying attention could tell you the EV market was soft at best and that government subsidiaries were going away. Still something needs to be done here to help these workers.
- From the archives: When the Catholic Church did not want to suffer a cat to live.
Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.
"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different." - C.S. Lewis
"My wife was afraid of the dark - then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light." - Rodney Dangerfield
"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly." - Abraham Lincoln
"I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them cats." - Eckhart Tolle
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
"Executive function" is defined as "a set of cognitive functions necessary for the cognitive control of behavior, selecting and successfully monitoring behaviors that facilitate the attainment of chosen goals." The more I watch Joe Biden give speeches the more I wonder how much executive function we actually have in the Executive Branch of the government... Good writing advice... So let me get this straight - 8 State Senators from Texas fled the state in order to avoid voting on the Voter ID Bill in the state but not enough Democrat State Senators fled to prevent a quorum and the Bill passed despite the well covered party plane ride of the 8 State Senators. Are these folks getting their political strategy from Animal House?... Tina Louise is the only surviving cast member from Gilligan's Island so that means that if you still prefer Mary Ann over Ginger - you are some sort of ghoul... Would love if some reporter asked Joe Biden what he thought of the movie CATS just to watch his response. Pretty sure he wouldn't know how to react...
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Morgan Housel - Best Story Wins
- Christopher Walken in a live-action version of Puss in Boots. This was a real thing!
- Spacehey a "reincarnation" of MySpace and a "competitor" to Facebook. Wouldn't be surprised if things like Spacehey become more numerous and popular. Like upgraded message board communities without the exploitative big-brotherism of Facebook.
-There should be a movie about Dick Tuck. It could end (or begin) with the Watergate break-in.
- "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Cat to Live." The Catholic Church's forgotten war on cats. (But what about Christopher Walken as a cat?)
