John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So with SSPX, Leo didn’t directly excommunicate them. He basically said if you do this thing you will have excommunicated yourself. Then they did it. Opus Dei seems next. Leo met in person with a big OD critic, which already says a lot. @clairewillett.bsky.social has the best threads on this. 030

John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I wonder who is buying Oracle’s and/or Paramount’s most senior debt? When debt is underwater it acts like equity. It would be hilarious (to me) if Netflix took is cash and bought Oracle/Paramount senior debt. 052
John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 24/09/2026While civility is important, this what I think of when tone policing comes up: Grahams Pyramid of Disagreement. Someone showed me this a few years back.

John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This reminds me of a friend who was sent to a pricey time management course. He was told you should divide your work into three groups: 1 high, 2 medium, and 3 low. Then completely ignore groups 2 & 3. My friend remarked, “Yeah, groups 2 & 3 are the ones that always come back and bite you.” 000
John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I remember the Laffer curve from my Econ class at UCLA in late 1985. I recall Prof Larry Kimball explained: The Laffer curve isn’t news — everyone has known about this effect for a long time. What’s new is the claim to know exactly where we are on the curve. Great. I don’t see the evidence. 020

John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The remaining factual rational sports analysis has retreated to mostly niche bespoke providers on patreon or YouTube sites. Reminded me in a way how real thoughtful investment web posts were reasonably common 15-25 years ago. Then it all became Wall Streets Bets nonsense. 😑 110
John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This kinda of followed the path of increasing levels of loudmouths yelling at each other biz model: 1st Talk radio (Rush Limbaugh et al) Then Sport Talk Radio Then TV New Magazine shows Then even sports blogging sites Once the NFL did its partnership with the gambling firms. The die was cast. 110
John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Lol. I was one of the few who cared about law & venue clauses (not a lawyer tho). I used to mark up agreements prior to attorney review One of the reasons why I always always wanted to start from in house contract forms & be the first to send a draft When these clauses get edited it was a red flag 020

John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Looks really interesting. My one tidbit. Early machines were much more photographic in nature, w/ rich grey scale. I Xeroxed my head as a young child at my father’s big law office in the late 1960s. The result amazing with all the detail of my hair and face. Still have it somewhere I think. 010

John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 05/09/2026A key aspect of the low cost solar (and battery) the world has now is exactly this. It helps accelerate the electric infrastructure of places that didn't have it or didn’t have enough of it. I think it will be similar to how cell phones leap frogged ahead in places without landline infrastructure. 110
John Voltz @johnvoltz.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Part of this is an artifact of comparing % share Some quick math shows Hungary had much lower base of non solar generation compared to Spain From this data Non-Solar generation Spain 223 TWh, Hungary 25.4 TWh. Spain 9x more While, Spain ~50 mil people Hungary ~10 mil. So Spain only 5x more 100

Subtly shows: a big part writing is form not content + the damage extraneous content can cause. Makes editing a collaborative (and fun) experience. 👍🏻 120
