Elton hits #1 today in 1974 with “Bennie and the Jets”. The “B-B-B-Bennie” stutter and the signature opening chord “are what probably made that song so popular,” said lyricist Bernie Taupin. “Neither of which I had anything to do with."

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

The Byrds release “Mr. Tambourine Man” today in 1965. “If you’re someone who grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, the song is like a little telegraph, said David Byrne. “Hearing that, I realised: I have to get out of here because .. there’s a whole world out there that I don’t know anything about.”

I cannot emphasize enough that drawing huge conclusions from markets that are gyrating through volatility as is currently the case may as well be reading auguries from the guts of some unfortunate chicken.

Positive outcome from Supreme Court: The Government must facilitate the return of Maryland man wrongly sent to El Salvador prison. Sets up Judge Boasberg to order same for detainees sent in defiance of his orders. Good judicial confrontation with lawlessness.

Treasury Secretary says that he and the President have been lying to the voters, markets, and trading partners since Sunday. Credibility is a scarce and valuable asset, and I worry that a Treasury without credibility will be much less effective when a true crisis hits. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
