'Anger' does not describe my emotions these days. Instead it is a morph of my old punk furor, throwing shoulders in the pit, and the abject hopelessness that is 2025. If I were King: https://sillycentrist.com/silly-centrism/

As I read it, the Supreme Court removed oversight of federal judges over the president, confirming the need for a new constitution.

My Pandemic Project: Since 2020, I mimic the S&P 500 sector make-up with direct ownership of thirty stocks. Through the year I gradually review them from ABT to WFC and back to ABT. Twice a year I rebalance them all to equal weighting and make any changes.

Mamdani's win is great for NYC, but city-owned grocery stores and congestion pricing are not issues that have any relevance in Fort Collins and the West. Living in San Francisco in the Eighties, I was not surprised it took thirty years to bring gay marriage to Peoria.

The Supreme Court ruling that we are not entitled to due process confirms that we need a new constitution.

That makes three times this week that a car almost hit my on a bicycle. They weigh tons. I do not. 'Anger' does not describe my emotions. A morph of my old punk furor, throwing shoulders in the pit, and the abject hopelessness that is 2025.

For your health, ignore the daily news cycle. Hell, ignore the monthly news cycle. I only do this in investing, but as a long term investor this is what the Trump administration looks like since inauguration. If you react to every twitch and wiggle, he's got you by the pubes. Think for yourself.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a criminal thug that should be jailed and or deported. Mahmoud Khalil is a passionate activist that wants to make our society better. He should be hired and raise his kids here. Both deserve to be treated with respect and given full due process of the law.

Yesterday I reviewed CVX. Clever company. Should be fine as long as Hormuz stays open. Eye roll.

I played a song from my phone and skipped to the next one on my ear buds. The technology played both at the same time. My brain is too old and too broken for this.

Hot Stock Tip: Don't buy stock with borrowed money.

Mahmoud Khalil freed!

Fun fact: I flew around the world once. I visited my engineering teams in Singapore and Chennai, India, and our facility in Israel to train folks on a new software rollout.

Needs repeating. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

We need to have one Senator for every 5 million citizens.
