- The natural alliance between Japan, Australia, and the US. Now more than ever.
- Shane Gillis on the Tush Push.
- The Microsoft-China Pentagon link is disturbing. Cancel all contracts with Microsoft immediately.
- John Fetterman on social media. He's more and more the voice of reason.

- The amount of Covid relief funds wasted by schools is staggering. Now do a Venn diagram of the school that wasted funds on boondoggles that were represented by teachers unions.
- 20 Deep State Revelations from Mike Benz. Highly recommend that Joe Rogan podcast.
- A couple of thoughts on the quantum computing breakthrough. What an interesting time to be alive.
- VDH: Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and European Ministers - reveal it all. Tom Hanks has become the Lancet Magazine of actors.

- But I was told Three Mile Island and Microsoft were bad.
- Take Something Away. Good advice.
- The Pixar story rules. (Via Tim Ferriss)
- Foundations: Why Britain's economy has stagnated. Long read.
Microsoft introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot. The demo video is pretty cool.
Microsoft is also in the news for "cutting a key AI ethics team." The team was called "ethics and society" which makes one wonder what sort of bias on ethics and society that team was actually bringing to the table.
Not to be outdone - Google announced AI features in GMail, Docs, and more to rival Microsoft.
Think one of the aspects of AI chatbots like 365 Copilot, GPT-4, and others is that in the very near future people will be using the tools to work multiple full-time jobs and double-dip on salaries.

- JP Morgan seems to have known about and facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Island.
- The ChatGPT is a biased woke lefty and now Microsoft's Bing AI Chatbot is a psychopathic teenager?

- And the entire continent of Africa is not a small sample size either.
- China's Microsoft hack may have had a bigger purpose than just spying. We keep seeing stories like this yet so many remain in denial that China is not our friend. (HT Stephen Landry)
- One of my favorite Elon Musk Tweets
- Fresh insights into the growing home garden trend. When I was growing up it seemed half of the homes in my neighborhood grew tomatoes and other vegetables. Now I'd be curious on the percentage of homes that grew tomatoes vs legal marijuana plants?
- The Locker Room. Interesting take on culture and competition in the investment world.
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
"Solomon Grundy sober on Monday. Drunk on Tuesday." Hi Solomon... Who knew? Erwin Schrodinger didn't even own a cat... Do Jewish vampires avoid Stars of David the way goy vampires avoid crosses?... Still say that James Joyce's Ulysses should be renamed Fear and Loathing in Dublin... In AC/DC's classic song Whole Lotta Rosie released in 1977 Rosie weighed 19 stone which is 266 pounds. Rosie was probably fairly unique for her weight back then but today - not so much. That isn't progress... Wouldn't Billy Gates Gruff be a good title for the story of Microsoft's rise to power?...
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Like I said - predicting that this would be the least watched World Series in history was the easiest prediction I've ever made
- Tesla to wide-release Full Self-Driving "by the end of this year" (pending safety approvals)
- Another easy prediction was that Quibi would be an absolute failure. I know many of you are saying, "What the hell is Quibi?" To which I say, "Exactly!"
- Studies point to big drop in Covid-19 death rates. I find it significant that even NPR is admitting this.
- Interesting - Microsoft's new data center in a box will use SpaceX Starlink broadband (and also SES medium orbit satellites)
- True
