    Newton's First Law does not play around.

    I’ve told this on TOS: I flew out of Portland ME winter either 95 or 96. Blizzard starting to get going but still early in the storm. I stopped in the bar across from security at the time, got a bite to eat. Place is as dead except two pilots having beers. I get on this half full puddle jumper to Boston. Goddamn if those two fucksticks don’t climb in the pilots cabin. They deiced us twice as well. I’ve never been so fucking scared in my life.

    Keep your seat belt on when you aren’t in the bathroom. Physics is a mother fucker.

    I thought my wife was going to kick me out of the room to rub one out at one point.

    Easily one of the most entertaining sporting events I ever watched.

    Descendants of minor German nobility who hit the royal luck lotto and fell ass backwards into becoming the richest people on earth aren’t great humans. news at 11.

    Meh, they gotta make money some how. Or not. Cashing in on their celebrity seems to be one of the ways. Kardashians out front shoulda told you. Doesn’t mean I have to watch it.

    I know this has already been posted in this thread, but it’s a classic for a reason. Also some of the best life advice you can give/take.

    That was my understanding as well.

    Eve Williams, one of the Twitter founders, after Dorsey returned and pushed him out, sort of faded into the background of the company, despite being a major, if not the largest shareholder at one point. Once Twitter went public, he announced his intention to steadily sell his shares, and did it reliably, month after month, quarter over quarter, every year since. You can turn your illiquid assets into liquid assets without spooking the market, you just need to let everyone know ahead of time and not vary from your plan. I assume WIlliams was made completely by Musk's buyout, if he had shares remaining. But Elon is too smart to do the smart thing.

    Somebody just got margin called again.

    I don’t want to alarm anyone, but Elon Musk might just be a child of wealth who fell Kramer style back assward into some early Silicon Valley start ups that are totally dependent on government subsidies, and now that he has to call the shots, has proven to be, well, Kramer. (Although, tbc, he doesn’t have half the talent of Michael Richards in his prime).

    Waiting on this Postal Service pre sale: Saw MM at the 9:30 last night. I even managed to get my old ass down on the floor. Slammed, went very hard

    This Star Trek 4 deep cut, I approve.

    So this is one of those larks that not even all Senators understand: the reason the talking filibuster no longer exists is because you can’t do other procedural business until it’s resolved. It actually makes the Senate more productive to eliminate it.

    I hate comedians who bitch that they are being canceled because they aren’t funny. “You don’t get it! You’re too woke!” Blah blah blah. Bullshit, it’s your job to make me laugh, funny man. You gonna roll out some Dane Cook makes fun of trans persons weak shit, I’m not going to laugh. That’s on you, not me.

    Just like Sark: We are too smart to do the smart thing.

    One of the saddest things about Tesla is their abandonment of the original roadster, which is legitimately a historically important car that deserves preservation for engineering and gearhead sake.

    My first Leg Director told me two things: 1. Never send an email you don’t want on the front page of the Post 2. A politician’s public face is who they are, no matter how cool or normal they seem when the camera lights are off.

    I find Elmo’s public descent into madness to be fascinating. Oddly enough, his thorough failure to give good social media….gives good social media. But being entertaining via self own tends to have a short half life.

    If you are a regular Costco person and you haven’t upgraded to executive membership and gotten the credit card, you are just leaving money on the table, particularly on gas: it’s a 4% rebate on the card, plus you get the 2% across the board kicker on the executive level.
