A lot of people look at Italy as a great place to go for a low cost vacation.
Meanwhile ….
Vivek Ramaswamy. The millionaire entrepreneur may have “no previous political experience to his name” and “virtually zero name recognition,” but Ramaswamy does have “the number one factor in winning over the pundits and viewers.” And that, he writes, is “an unnatural dose of confidence.”

Aaah yes - exactly what we need - someone who knows nothing - but is ‘supremely’ ‘confident’ that he can ‘fix it’.
🎛️🎙️ About ’That’ Film
I wrote about it back in mid July. 🖇️ Smelt fishy then. Still smells fishy.
Kafka’s podcast goes ‘off piste’ - but well worth it as it explores what exactly was/is going on with the movie - that’s in part one. In part two - the ‘other side’.

… and while we are on conspiracy theories, apparently Musk’s X is designed around Freemason and Illuminati symbology.
Then again … maybe it’s true.
I first read about DEW being ‘the cause’ of the fire the day after the fire started (and I rarely see crackpot stories, unless I am searching.) … more than a week later ….

I read this
In May, YouTube became the most popular channel on TV compared with any other streaming platform or network, and nearly 45% of YouTube’s viewership in the U.S. happens on televisions.
About 90% of my youtube watching is on a TV - and the balance is really just revisiting and sharing stuff I think is worthwhile. Never been a big thumbs up person on a video (sorry creators) .. BUT I wonder how such a shift hits that particular metric - since that action - while not impossible - is quite a bit more finicky when using. TV to watch.

… don’t let the date fool you. STILL FUNNY.
I think the ‘🔗 start page’ is there, though I still need to fill in some of the pages on the click through.
I get what Doug Belshaw writes at a big picture level, but thinking of income without the context of cost of living is not useful and maybe misleading.
To quote his quote …
People at Income Level 4 earn more than $32 a day. At this Income Level, we find thee richest billion on the planet, who work in jobs that typically require at least 12 years of education – something those on the lower Income Levels cannot currently aspire to.
If you earn $32 each and every day in the good ol' USA - you are earning $11,680 per year - $1,000 per month which is not going to go too far by my calculations.

When your local supermarket reintroduces the shopping cart disinfection process and the staff mask wearing is running at 100% … you know something is up.
Saw this.

Cross checked with this.

Concluding that for us at least, the storm will reduce temperatures for a couple of days by 20 degrees or so and we might get some much needed rain.
Sounds good to me. Wonder what I am missing? Even the wind prediction looks reasonable.

If you don’t charge fuckers for all that they did .. people complain. say you didn’t go far enough. Say that you held back …
When you do charge those self same fuckers and the rest of the gang for everything they did … well … now you’ve gone too far.
