Colleges are now able to pay athletes. On the upside, many have already been doing that on the sly for decades. It does end the fake facade of amateur sports but is likely the beginning of the end of a long arc. Not sure this plays out the way that the athletes and schools think. Many fans...

I have zero interest in who wins but the level of play appears to be great. Hard to top game one.

So great to see Musk taking himself and his companies down the drain. What a lunatic. He was a disaster at DOGE. He caused untold harm and chaos when there were legitimate opportunities to cut spending. Trump is learning a hard lesson. If Musk is devoted to cutting spending, then let's...

I may have mentioned this one before but people who park their enormous pickup truck or service vans at the end of a parking lane rendering it impossible to see around them when trying to pull out of the lane. Apparently never giving a moments thought to the difficulties that they pose for...

I find even the "news" whose political viewpoint I agree with to be irritating. It is almost like a CIA psych-op program to radicalize people and you have actually seen that happen in the US over the last ten years. FOX is the most effective. Currently, they are fixated now on Harvard getting...

Elon Musk. What a fool. Were there opportunities to cut government spending? Yes. Did he F it up by grandstanding? Yes. Good riddance. I keep hearing he is a genius but there is no proof. He is a guy like Dan Synder who made a lot of money. He found people who were smart to work for...

Not watching the news. There might have been a time when watching the news meant that you were being kept informed. This is not that time. I find that the more folks watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and wherever else that they are getting their news, the more that they seemed unhinged. That's...

Very gutsy win by the Knicks last night on the road after being down 20 in a must win situation. Entertaining game considering I didn't who won. Towns was a beast.

My sincerest condolences. All my best to your family.

Not a huge fan of Billy Joel's music but I always associate him with the era that I grew up in. Sorry to hear about his cancer diagnosis. Many of those pop culture icons from the 70s and 80s are already gone. It's hard to accept that the 80s are now four decades in the past. There are kids...

The picture of the enormous cargo ship that grounded itself just a few feet from the front door of some Norwegian guy's house.

All the people on the East Coast who are heading to the beach this holiday weekend are going to have fun with the high temps in the 50s.

Only watching the highlights but the Knicks/Pacers series has a surprising level of play. I find it hard to watch, though, without caring who wins. OKC likely toasts whoever makes it to the finals but a Pacers/OKC would be a good match.

Having to turn my heat back on just before Memorial Day due to the damp, cold weather. It's been miserable here over the last couple of weeks.

My only interest in the NHL now is watching those Canadian hockey fans standing outside when their teams choke and get eliminated. U-S-A, U-S-A. Home of the Stanley Cup for 30 years and counting.

The proposed budget bill is estimated by the non-partisans as adding approximately $2.5 trillion in national debt. This from the folks who ran on cutting government spending. The total DOGE savings that came at a lot of chaos are estimated as less than $100 billion and likely not really close...

Being done with all sports. Don't care about the NBA or NHL playoffs. Too early in the season to care about baseball. Football is months off.

Rain, rain, and more rain.

Progress on the trade deal with China. Hopefully that's good news for the market. CNN and MSNBC will be devasted if they don't get those shots of "empty shelves." So hopefully this would blow up and Americans would suffer. Instead it could actually work.

The Hershey Bears. They have won back-to-back AHL Calder Cups over the last two season. No easy task. Onward to this season. They were down 2-1 in the first round in the best of five and playing on road. They won game four and just closed out the series in game five. Moving on to the next...
