Dinner last night: Gruyere Potato Galette with Fall Herbs I bought a Costco chunk of Gruyere, used red potatoes from our CSA, and picked rosemary and thyme from my herb garden. It was delicious. No leftovers. mvmagazine.com/news/2020/09...

It’s hard to overstate just how great a social evil the new ubiquity of sports betting has become. Companies like Draft Kings, Fanduel, and all the others are a cancer, preying on addicts and seeking new addicts. It also threatens (and is already undermining) the integrity of sport itself.

At DraftKings, AI Targets the Gamblers Likeliest to Lose (Gift Article)

Data science helps determine who receives betting incentives, but the company has resisted using similar technology to protect gamblers at risk of addiction.

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

A society where everything is a rental/subscription service, where you don't actually own the things you buy, makes it impossible to build personal wealth. The owners retain all ownership, and you work for them in order to pay for the privilege of using the tools of your labor. It's feudalism.
