“Fundamental physics is overrated. It doesn’t at all explain the universe.” Carlo Rovelli is challenging the hunt for a “theory of everything”. Listen to “Babbage”

There is still a critical 45 days to go with the NA corn and soybean crop but if we get “normal” wx during that period, this crop is above trend. 🌽

Any talk of lower inflation is total BS. It’s running 5% annually and won’t stop. Ur bonds are earning a negative return.

Couldn’t ask for a better weekend weather wise. 2”-3” across most of the farm. It was sorely needed to keep this crop up to its potential. Whew…

4/5 years ago I started writing every day. My business and personal results are better for it. Also, I have no AI “app” on any device nor do I have any plans to. I see how it is a benefit to some. I don’t believe it will benefit me personally or society as a whole. Call me Amish if u like.

Every Democratic candidate should hold this opinion, because it’s the correct one. If you want to keep losing elections to absolutely awful people, hold the opinion of the Progressive Caucus.

If you think there is a path for the US to be better than 20-32 in global soccer, you don’t understand how big HS/College football and basketball are. It’s kinda amazing the US is that good. It’s bigger to be a bench player at Loyola(Chi) or FG kicker at Fresno State than a soccer starter at Duke

If the United States were truly an “exceptional” nation there would be a multi ethnic mob waiting on these scumbags at the next stop to beat their asses. Bunch of scared fairies wearing masks. Vigilanteism is underrated.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.
