Yes music moved to FM and AM radio took calls from callers that would talk about the race of men in the trees, and that they were for tough legislation. Today that caller is on X and finds a lot more agreement with that view.

And Venezuela is a buffer into North America from South America. Honestly it all makes more sense if he thinks he is playing Risk. I hope he doesn’t eye Kamchatka next.

If we take Iceland that prevents the Europeans from getting 5 extra armies a turn.

Should everyone be asking about 25th Amendment? Paraphrasing what your your friend LBJ said about a, um, more colorful accusation not spoken of in polite company “I know they didn’t do it, I want to make them deny it”.

25th Amendment time. I would have said the same if Joe Biden tweeted this about Charlie Kirk as well.

Are we are the point with the Rob Reiner tweet that there is any reasons we should now not be talking about the 25th Amendment? I would if Joe Biden had tweeted that about say Charlie Kirk.

Senator AOC is in the bag after this.

If The Cure had never done that song, it would have fit in very well on her albums. She has a fair bit of 80s vibe in her music (in a good way)

There is a 10% tariff on Christmas Island. He’s putting a tariff on Santa Claus.

There are 400 artists in RRHOF. That is at least 200 too many. It’s getting to ‘participation trophy’. Probably it is better repositioned as a “History of Rock and Roll” museum than this.

It’s kind of meh. I had a far better time at the Norway RRHOF despite knowing only one (a-ha)

Stock could price in there is a non zero chance he could leverage his insider status for some flavor of bailout/subsidy (in other words he's really James Taggert, not Hank Reardon).

It's genius...if we control Central America and we also make Canada the 51 state and acquire Greenland we control all of North America and get 5 extra armies a turn.

100%. Retired with a HELOC (I don't intend to use, but it's available liquidity for true emergency) and no mortgage. So the house is really a source of cash via the HELOC which is a big mind shift. Right home in the right place is a lifestyle decision.

It would be a tiny tiny piece of my "play" money but I've debated a deep out-of-the-money Tesla put. Non zero chance Musk oversteps with him and ends badly for him/Tesla. Not saying that is the likely case but it's certainly >0% and not priced in.

It's like cigarettes...it will need to be taxed to cover negative externalities. Doubtful the genie can be put back in the bottle. Legalize/Control/Discourage.

Not sure it’s more complicated than inflation started to takeoff after Jan 20 2021. Obviously that’s not the fully story but how voters saw it. I’m pretty sure if DJT had won in 2020 the GOP would have been thrashed in 2024, like almost every other global incumbent party the last year or so.

It was excellent. I unironically love Yacht Rock and was this years old when I learned Toto was on Thriller.

Maybe for your next open mic podcast but wonder how you treat positions where you were ‘early’ ie maybe thesis works but down a big (thinking of $dg)
