My credit card exp. date is 2/30. That means no matter what, I've got 5 years left. I can drink poison, play with snakes, go hunting with Dick Cheney, etc. and be untouchable.

Are you saying ICE would have deported, Queequeg, Dagoo, Fedalla, and half the crew of the "Pequod"? And detained Tashgtego, even though he is a Wampanoag from Gay Head (double whammy--he's copper colored and from a place with MAGA-disapproved name)? commonwealthbeacon.org/immigration/...

Bummer. Not the news I wanted to hear. I got my start in XC skiing nearly 30 years ago there. Global warming has not 1 grain of pity on winter sports lovers. www.dvalnews.com/business-new...

Thank god I missed the SNL 50th anniversary. It's one thing to punch down and celebrate authority and conformity, and be mediocre to boot. It's another thing to force the world to join in celebrating it.

I wrote the book on whaling. A humpback cannot swallow a human. It can't chew one and the esophagus is too small to pass one through. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Gulf name change screws up the rhyming scheme to "The Battle of New Orleans." Didn't anyone think ahead? Compromise? Maybe "down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Americo"? www.google.com/search?clien...

Under Biden-Kamala, I was terrified their war-mongering would get us into a nuclear war--and I was revolted at what they enabled in Gaza. Today, under Trump, I'm not worried about nukes. Just everything else.

I know a lot is going on at the national level. I suspect certain generals are exceeding their supply lines.

At least two of the companies I've worked were immigrant founded...I'm married to an immigrant with step-kids of the same status. Do I think everyone should just migrate all at once here without any review? No. But also being the grandson of immigrants, I think it has its uses.

Seeking investors for my Valentine's Day rock opera: "Blood, Iron, and Pirouettes." It's the story of teenage Otto von Bismarck, torn between his love of nude ballet and his soulmate Fritz--and the quest for power and war. Takers?

I've seen thousands of YouTube commercials aimed at me. Maybe 12 were vaguely relevant to me. That's AI. It is to actual efficient/accurate thinking what moronic laugh tracks are to sitcoms. If we die from AI, it will be through brain atrophy and boredom. www.bbc.com/news/technol...

"M" fascinated me for many reasons. One of them is the dichotomy between a) those who commit crimes for depraved psychological needs (in this case, Peter Lorre has an almost physical need to murder); and b) those who commit crimes as a lifestyle--thieves and so on. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...

The verdict is in: American healthcare is capital punishment for honest citizens. Just take any condemned prisoner and drop them into any American hospital...Of course, that is cruel and unusual punishment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

AI: Would Lincoln have been able to plug in every variable about assassination attempts and so not gone to Ford's Theater the night of his murder? Or Caesar avoid the senate on the ides of March? Or would the AI machine just spit out maybe today or tomorrow or next week? That's the Delphic Oracle

The Sweet Life is bitter and rancid. I saw it when 19 and was bored and disgusted at its immorality. Seeing it at 59 I'm enthralled and still disgusted, but this time at its morality. It really is a cry for help in a empty, glitzy, grimy world. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...

I'll admit I had to doublecheck this....But everyone is going to want any indent on the coast to be "Gulf of America." Get rid of Gulf of Maine. Rename Atlantic and Pacific as American Oceans 1 &2. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
