Columbia University has a FOURTEEN BILLION DOLLAR endowment. Dip into it. They can weather this storm.

Farmers absolutely live for accurate weather forecasts. We should ask them how they feel about 'should we plant/fertilize/harvest this week? Gee I don't know.' Watch what happens to crop yields and the price of crop insurance. They're gonna be *mad*.

Drugs. Apparently, getting high is the solution? Board members should absolutely fire any CEO engaging in this. If they don't have the sack to do it, investors should flee.

My take: AI generated or assisted anything is terrible. Chatbots suck, and it makes me not want to use that product or service again. Yet here they are, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into it.

I was once sued over the distinction between the words 'may' and 'shall'.
"But it says may, so you don't have to do this thing!"
"It absolutely says may, meaning it's at my discretion. So, kindly hold my beer while I do that thing."

Did you frantically reach around in the car for more trash and throw it out the window?

Trump is a cult of personality. There is no successor that is nearly as popular. If he tanks the economy, his slim majority in Congress will slip. That's a potential political solution. Otherwise, mental decline, and heart attack/stroke are all significant possibilities.l

Interesting thing: Now that Trump has declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations, there is something else. The Mexican people can now claim to be victims of terrorism, and therefore gain asylum status in the US. All 130 million of them.

My bold prediction: Trump will not be in office one year from now.

That's a little rough on the 'no life' 13 year olds, don't you think?

The shutdown will be the beginning. Approval numbers will tank, and Trump will look to cast blame. Musk will go under the bus.

It's ironic. You'd think being a billionaire would afford freedom, yet they live in a cage.

A gorgeous sunrise, and a pretty nice day to be working outside.

Wild take: If CEOs continue to be shot at, it will be Republicans who move on gun reform. Because nobodies shooting at each other is ok. But. important people being shot is unacceptable.

With the revelations coming out about potential cabinet appointees, how do they face their friends and family? Do they get ghosted? Do they have to find all new friends? "Hey, I heard about your troubles. Come on over! We're having a BBQ for scumbags!"
How does that work?

Let's not be mistaken. Hunter would never have been treated fairly by Trump's DOJ. So, any sense of honor is off the table. Trump is going to pardon J6 cop killers for Pete's sake.

The top of the chimney in this rental is VERY high, and I'm sure not going up there. The pros will be here in a few days

Looks nice. We need to get the wood stove here looked at. It started off nice in October, but has turned into a sooty, smoky, creosote mess. It seems like it's not drawing properly noatter how much air you feed it. Intake seems good. Flue might have issues.

I'm not sure. This is a case of 'He can't get into heaven, and the devil doesn't want him.'

I'd also give a strong recommendation to Winter Park. Very family friendly mountain, and they're putting a ton into an already strong ski school.

@kylec.bsky.social should run for governor in the next election cycle. Bringing Wegmans to Colorado should be on his platform. I'll put forth Tina Peters type effort to make sure he wins.
