John Oliver: "Fuck You, Make Me."

Just reading a bio of a major general. How am I older than a variety of one and two stars??? And why do I still remember being an E-4 briefing a major general way back 25 years ago and not being able to imagine being that old?

Missed this last month. Amusing typo? "high-speed unscrewed surface vehicle" www.businessinsider.com/russia-just-...

Ongoing efforts, but three drone kits? Three isn’t going to do much but proof of concept? www.businessinsider.com/anti-drone-k...

Loved that game and had no idea there was a cartoon series.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

"The vaccines cost $79 billion to develop & deliver..provided health & economic benefits globally worth between $5 trillion & $38 trillion in the 1st year based on avoided infections, hospitalisations & deaths. That is a ROI of between $60 & $475 per $ invested" www.newscientist.com/article/2496...

Interesting, lots of money for development of private space on.ft.com/3KngWjK

This is a challenging issue - carrying these also introduces a risk of losing them, or them being taken and not returned (reported in a Supreme Court dissent).

Wow. I wonder how Qatar responds? Israel Attacks Hamas Senior Leadership in Doha, Qatar - The Wall Street Journal apple.news/AxbYvc-goQRK...

Flower. For anyone who needs it to brighten a moment at the end of a day.

This is a little bit older but relevant. We are ceding renewable energy (and the power we need for our economy both for volume and cost!) to China and other places who have implemented. apple.news/AhIFHsal6SAu...

I got my COVID vaccine today because I’m hosting an event with about 300 people next week. I know it’s not as much time as I’d like for it to take effect, but you do what you can when you can. New Moderna with a reduced injection size (terminology?). CVS + Maryland. Glad I live here.

I'm an alum of both Iowa State University and the University of Iowa (College of Law). Watching the Iowa-Iowa State game in Ames reminds me what a beautiful campus it is. Iowa was great, too, with the law school overlooking the river, but I've always thought Iowa State was the more beautiful campus.

Still aggravating.

A couple of days ago, but interesting. Also was interesting to see differing definitions (separately) of swarms (interconnected, communicating with each other) vs massing, which is just a lot of independent drones at once. www.wsj.com/world/ai-pow...

Today at work they were coming for me.

Still true.

Because so many of us need some humor. Statler and Waldorf supercut. 37 minutes of Muppet laughs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6I_... I need to see if there is one for Beeker. There has to be, right?

Because it will make you laugh, a compilation of Beaker and Bunsen. youtu.be/Wlh6yFSJEms

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Buy it and read it!

Is it just me or does Brutus look very angry?

Wow. 25 years into the century.

The original edition was fantastic, I'd imagine the update will be useful, too. If you haven't read it, pick it up with the pre-order.

Seems accurate.

Very cool!

PSA: Macallan 12 Sherry cask does not go well with Diet Coke. But I’m out of bourbon.
