David Bowie was a genius artist and a deep thinker.
In 1999, only 6 years after the birth of the worldwide web, Bowie spoke about the "unimaginable" effects of the Internet on society.

“What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.”

RIP. McCullough had reached that rare air where he was both good AND popular to such a degree that people almost didn’t talk enough him enough.

BREAKING: Dem bill raises taxes on small and mid-sized businesses. Any business that has PE in its capital structure is now considered a subsidiary of that firm and thus subject to 15% book tax.
Sinema needs to remove herself from the bill.

We are in the “local market” for team that is 500+ miles away and doesn’t broadcast locally, but for which we would be regular fans, probably MLBTV subscribers. They’re shooting themselves in the foot, throwing money straight in the trash. I don’t get it.

There are two things the Lord hates, yea, three are an abomination in his sight. The IRS, the TSA, and the MLB blackout rules.

Just gonna be re-tweeting stuff about Wendell Berry today, on his 88th birthday.
In 2022, I’m thinking, “Yeah, a bicycle to wreck your mind.” It’s easy to be skeptical of all these claims about the computer now — so let’s hear from birthday boy Wendell Berry. In 1987, he published an essay in @Harpers called “Why I am Not Going To Buy A Computer.”

“Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.”
Happy Birthday to that irascible farmer poet, Wendell Berry.
