The nut job mud is totally my opinion – I think if you start your media campaign with folks like Steve Bannon and Glenn Beck, you might be a nut job. But, also, before the Rogan interview – he was widely vilified by a pro-vax doctor I have followed for years…[Read more]

Rogan gave a nut job 3 hours to shill nonsense. Malone is not “the inventor of mRNA” and he’s been spewing anti-vax tropes for quite a while. Would he give the same 3 hour platform to a pro-vax scientist who’s last name does not sound like ouchie? Heck no, can’t risk those subscriptions.

and seems to afflict both sides, though I’m not sure which is scarier. The SV gang claims 75% of rethugs want violence or civil war and they are cheer-leading for it based on lousy polls and a minority of kooks like MTG and Bobo. Crazy.

I don’t get Rogan’s appeal. And I certainly don’t have time to listen to a 3-hour interview with Malone. I’ve…[Read more]

I grew up in snow zone (UP) and live and travel throughout the Midwest. Now at 55yo I prefer to avoid blizzards, and if I get stuck in one – pull over and stop or bivvy. The hypno effect is very real and can disorient you very quickly. Lotsa snowmobile accidents are because someone followed too closely to another sled and ate their wash, couldn’t…[Read more]

We were supposed to fly to Michigan yesterday to see the extended family. The outbound flight yesterday was a little late but, the forecast for Sunday air travel back home was sketchy as the airlines try to re-stack their flights and flight crews. By noon today I had three notices from Delta that my Sunday return trip had changed, not a good sign.…[Read more]

Yeah I thought this was very dubious when I read about healthcare workers, now they cut it down for airlines. Which lobby group is next?

Also, the repeated communication failures of these agencies and now two admins is suspect. Is it bad luck, bad execution, laziness/apathy, or willful? Ugh.

that the gun was a revolver. If true and someone handed him the gun with the hammer cocked, he should’ve uncocked it immediately, very basic safety. If it were a semi-auto or other single action gun it could have discharged more easily, but again reports are revolver.

Damning article.

“That is, defense stocks outperformed the stock market overall by 58% during the Afghanistan War.”

in many cyber security communities. Most comments are “WTF” related, why would anyone say something like that out loud. It really shows he doesn’t know his adversary very well. It’s like taunting your bully to punch you in the face. Fortunately China, Russia, and others know how strong our cyber deterrence really is regardless of talking heads -…[Read more]

It is cheap and easy for people with more than one job trying to make ends meet and raise kids. I have several friends whose family dinners are fast food 3-4 times a week. I’m not sure people will panic if they can’t get organic foods, but we’ll see revolution if the Big Mac machines ever stop.

on their approval ratings they would be motivated to do better? (15% in Dec 2020) . Or their pay or healthcare? In the private sector there are plenty of awards for merit. Mine is based on NPS aka Net Promoter Score aka “would you recommend”.

I was recently pushed out of a job (not fired) despite documented ageism. Yes, I could have sued but it would have cost me $20K just to get started with filings, discovery, depositions – before day 1 in court. There was not a large enough windfall for the attorneys to take it as contingency, and despite the documentation – overt and explicit are…[Read more]

The attack is real and it is unprecedented. China or Russia did this. Or North Korea or Iran. UK and Israel have the capability but not sure why they’d smack us so hard. This is a big deal and there will be reactions and over-reactions. Fortunately, this attack did not impact one nation or one agency, it hit multiple countries and industries, both…[Read more]

Joe, Nancy, & Chuck are repeatedly proven horrible negotiators, both short-term and long-term. And their whip value is shrinking rapidly. Plus, BHO is selling a book called, “A Promised Land”.

I highly regard Caitlin but not sure why she was compelled to post this now. Maybe knee-jerk reaction to other knee-jerk reactions?

The attack happened and continues to happen, there is no doubt and plenty of evidence to support this. Do we have positive attribution yet? No, at least not publicly. However, there is plenty of evidence that the…[Read more]
