Sweet baby Moses, I love playoff hockey.

As the great Warren Buffett once said:

“The best investment is not in yourself. It’s in a bankrupt shoe retailer that pivots to AI datacenter operations.”

LOL!

Okay folks, let's try to display one iota of rational thought...

I mean....okay....a shoe company sells off the whole pesky "shoe" part and gets some money to go become an AI-native compute provider....just in case you were wondering where we are in the cycle....

Hot damn, I love the U.S. Military.

that "premium featupe" is really important stuff. ;)

it seems clear that at least some of it is being manipulated by the humans....but it's still damn interesting.

Greek Mythology
Tibetan Buddhism (bonus: met the Dalai Lama)

How is the whole Moltbook phenom not a bigger topic of discussion? I logged on to see what folks are saying here....and I'm kinda shocked at how little talk there is of it.

I highly rec reading "The Fourth Turning is Here" to add context to this...

Iranian women ditching their Regime-mandated hijabs and lighting cigarettes in protest is just wildly iconic. Love it.

How did I not know there's a 300 year old, continuously operating restaurant in Madrid (which Hemingway wrote about)? And why am I not already planning the trip to go eat roasted suckling pig?

crap - I forgot my other necessary Christmas watch: The Long Kiss Goodnight. Completely underrated.

I started reading The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social at Thanksgiving. It is achingly beautiful. I find myself reading a few pages, and savoring it -- sometimes for days. I'm 1/3rd of the way through it now (yes, a month later), and it's one of those books that you hope never ends.

Holiday family photos.

already got my first 4 Christmas movie essentials in (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Violent Night and Christmas Vacation)...

Merry Christmas! (one day early)

I don't really care where the anti-semitism is coming from -- the left, the right, wherever -- it's wrong. Period. End of story.

The kinds of anti-semitic violence (and murder) happening all over the globe now simply cannot be tolerated. And I have no idea why saying that would be controversial.

Amen. GO NAVY! Beat Army!

On a per % of GDP basis, America and Europe are about equal on gambling spend (0.4%). On a per capita basis, the U.S. is slightly higher than the Euro average, but significantly below some places (Ireland, Iceland, Cyprus, etc).

love Mary Oliver.

Happy Thanksgiving!

so sorry for your loss, JT.

Happy Veterans Day!

I served from 1995-1999. Today, I'll remember those I served with, those we lost -- and all the laughter, boredom, panic, stress and friendship in serving.

And if you're in marketing, do not send out emails today (in the U.S.) that don't at least acknowledge this day.
