You all have to understand, Tom Cotton has a chip on his shoulder against society because society is keeping him from owning slaves.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

"We recently announced that Netflix will acquire William Shakespeare, including his plays, sonnets, narrative poems and indeed also his biography and everything he ever said. This unites our leading entertainment service with William Shakespeare's iconic stories. 'All the world's a Netflix!'"

Day 6

🕊️

The Beatles -All You Need Is Love

The song was composed for a live BBC global TV broadcast, "Our World" in 1967. The lyrics were deliberately kept simple, making it a universal anthem for peace and love.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

~ Leonardo da Vinci
A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"

Bill Nye said "Evidence."

Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."

I think about that a lot.

Red Lobster never released a commercial with a jingle that went “Shrimply having a wonderful Fishmastime.” That’s why they went bankrupt.

Oh zizzle-zazzle, what a wiggly surprise!

They boingity-boast with their AI pies!

But snizzle-snap—oh what a trick,

They swiped our books with a sneaky flick!

Now wompity-wobble, the lawsuits go pop,

While Dartmouth goes whizzle and skips to the top!

~ Dartmouth grad, Dr. Seuss prolly 😏
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

I believe Ted Turner was among the first fat cats to employ this tax mitigation strategy. He owns ~ 2 million acres of western ranch land.
Ultrawealthy families like the Murdochs, Kochs and Rockefellers own cattle ranches for a variety of reasons.

Ranches qualify for big property tax breaks in certain jurisdictions. Business expenses related to ranching can be deducted from federal taxes.

[repost, with the kick-ass trumpet solo!]

This track is an absolute banger 💥 off one of my fave live albums. The band is loose and tight at the same time, and Joe is a man possessed.

I'd argue that its 1965 release changed Rock and Roll for the better. It kicked open the doors and broke all the windows. Fiat sonus! Fiat musica! link.deezer.com/s/31N0B0eAqy...
