I'm going to share this classic from 2019.

It was created on that other site by a Wall Street Quant, and from what happened since, it looks to be incredibly accurate.

So, apologies in advance, but I want to do a quick little THREAD to explain my theory of what the Epstein story really is. I promise this isn't some crazy Pizzagate conspiracy about space lizards, just a neat little explanation that IMO perfectly fits the known facts (0/13):

While my late wife was fighting stage 4 small cell lung cancer, I masked, she masked whenever possible, and I demanded that all the healthcare workers mask.

I couldn't save her from cancer, but I could keep her from suffering from covid at the same time.

Here are papers about BLIS K12 and Azelastine. These are proper studies in legitimate and respected journals.

I'm curious if Comey can use this opportunity to introduce some of the material that he had against Trump. These clowns are unlikely to write a carefully limited indictment.

I mask to avoid getting sick.

I'm recently boosted. I also take a BLIS K12 lozenge every night, and use Azelestine nasal spray everyday as part of my covid avoidance strategy. It's been working, I've never had a symptomatic case of covid.

The most amazing thing I've learned in recent years is that the dancer in "Running Up That Hill" has since transitioned and is now known as Misha Hervieu.

That Truman Capote didn't write "In Cold Blood", but it was actually written by Harper Lee, who didn't want all the fuss that came with the fame, having been exhausted by "To Kill a Mockingbird". So she let her friend Truman get all the fame.

There must be a healthcare equivalent of the "Overton Window", where what had been conservative is now considered liberal. I'm old enough to remember when Richard Nixon was working with Tip O'Neill on a universal wage.

The ACA is based on original work by the Heritage Foundation, and was created as the Republican alternative to Hillary's healthcare proposal. It's a fundamentally conservative, business-based approach.

Let me second this. It's one of the best documentaries I've seen in decades, about a young cartoonist who had one of his characters representing him and his friends stolen and turned into a symbol of hate. One of the interesting parts of it was interviews with 4Channers, and their rationalizations.

To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap:

"It's like, how much more Diane Keaton could this be? And the answer is none. None more Diane Keaton."

As I read this article, things keep jumping out at me that would be considered unbelievable in fiction.

Like saving the life of the writer who created the seminal work on fascism.
Under fire from all side, it was a near-impossible situation, and in early 1941, the ERC ordered Varian back to the U.S. He refused, and continued his work, funded in part by a close friend, Chicago heiress Mary Jayne Gold, who financed many ERC operations. Despite the resistance to his activities, Varian’s bold and high-risk refugee-smuggling operation continued to be a resounding and undeniable success. It is estimated that in just over a year, he saved the lives of over 2,000 artists, scientists, and inventors from Nazi-occupied Europe, among them artists Marc Chagall and Max Ernst, writer André Breton, and philosopher Hannah Arendt.

Another astounding story that wouldn't be considered believable in fiction. This is right up there with the woman who became owner of the Circus Circus before porn.

It looks like a fun article to write. I'm glad there are some investors who are looking at long shots.

Fascinating article. Especially interested in the concept of small fission reactors that can be dropped down holes, and decommissioned by just filling the hole with concrete.

I hope you enjoy it. I had never heard her before that concert. The other singers in the tribute were Wendy Moten, and long time Rundgren bassist Kasim Sulton.

This has been an exceptional year for 60s adult pop. Saw Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass a couple of months ago, and earlier this year saw a tribute to Burt Bacharach led by Todd Rundgren. There was a young lady named Tori Holub doing the Karen songs, and her voice honestly gave me goosebumps.

Vickie and I were lucky enough to see her several times. When we saw her at Chicago's Double Door, she introduced They Don't Know by saying "God bless Tracy Ullman".

We need voting systems that run on open source software, and can be audited by third parties. This is something that absolutely cannot be entrusted to businesses.

I saw him deliver a keynote address at SIGGRAPH, the yearly computer graphics conference.

He was speaking to an audience of the most knowledgeable people in the field, and he knew what he was talking about.

Not only is their N95 filter 3X easier to breathe through than most N95, they have these awesome divots at the top for my glasses.
