Even if I was so demented as to want a magic robot to cook my food, dump my trash, read my books, walk my dog, kiss my wife, and play with my kids, I'd not trust Elon to build it. A Musk robot would cook my wife and kids, read my food, dump my dog, and kiss my trash... then catch fire.

I'm old enough to remember a time when Miami-Dade Cubans would gather by the hundreds on SW 8th St. with their flags and their signs and their bullhorns to protest if there was even a hint that the U.S. Government planned to send any Cuban back into the arms of the Castro regime. Now they shrug.

I saw Jaws on the big screen yesterday (it’s in theaters for the 50th anniversary—same age as me!) What a great film… the Trek connection (if there is one), is the music. John Williams’ rising half step theme in the bass is quite similar to Sol Kaplan’s for The Doomsday Machine.

This would become much more obvious to everyone if baseball writers to whom MLB will actually comment would simply point out Trump's claim of a Rose "deal" and talk about it a bit. It'd force Manfred to say something. They won't, though. No one wants to imperil their access.

"That’s nearly a quarter of a billion dollars of taxpayer money, at least, that may as well have been burned to ashes. In fact, Ron DeSantis and his enablers actually would have done a lot less harm—to people, to the environment, to the rule of law—if they had simply set the cash on fire." #Florida
