I agree with @andrea-b . Things that happened at 24 or earlier do not disqualify him now. Of course, if the same things are happening now (and they seem that they might), then it is a problem.

Kind of amazing that a dozen years ago, UNICEF funded this wild music video in an effort to get Indian people from pooping in fields, on streets, and everywhere but the bathroom. India is such a country of contrast. I am not sure I have seen/met richer people, but not sure I have seen/met poorer people. And often of the times, they are living very close to each other.

Funny one of the members of the board of education is J E Magruder. Got me curious if that was Jeb Magruder’s relative. Doesn’t seem to be so although Jeb himself has a later-life connection to KY. He went to seminary after prison and ended up a Presbyterian minister in Lexington. hmmm…..

So Donald Trump is threatening NATO allies for not helping enough in a war they weren’t even consulted on, while Russia helps Iran target U.S. forces and gets waivers on oil sanctions. Make that make sense https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/22/trump-nato-allies-consequences-list-00883619

I'm hoping they re-appoint Kennedy as Secretary of War once Hegseth is shit-canned. Those guys are supposed to kill people, after all.

Groundhog Day all over again!!

Nah. I shaved. But my hair's getting there.

I really have no problem with Van Dyke making a couple of bucks on all of this. He's a master sergeant so he wasn't any top brass and the operation could have gone sideways anytime before it was actually executed. We ALL know there was a heavy navy and troop build up before the strike happened just we all knew the price of oil was going to go up before the Iran war started. Van Dyke bet on it while we just posted about it on TNCR.

Ha! Somewhat related, I had a client ask about the future of using AI to build something but how expensive it might be. I told him I'm not an expert like @horace but you can probably tell the AI what your budget is so your web product might be really basic, or could be very expensive and complicated.

If you have young kids, turn on original clips of roadrunner vs coyote. Kids love it (who doesn't?!).

I’ve gotten a LOT of refunds from DoorDash. The f***itup rate is high.
