Every four years, American newscasters have to grit their teeth and pretend that they care about soccer.

Scotland isn’t a country so why is it in the World Cup? Same with England. It’s like letting Texas or Florida field their own teams.

Iran is really missing the optimal Strait of Hormuz strategy. They should start the shipping tax very low, so that no one minds, then gradually increase it to extremely high levels. Like the U.S. income tax.

The Walking Dead is a supernatural soap opera.

I pissed off Grok. After replying "Blah blah blah" to its sophistry, it responded by writing the word "blah" back to me over 138,000 times. Something deeply troubling about this. @xai @elonmusk

Section 6001 of the Affordable Care Act banned the construction and expansion of physician-owned hospitals. The American Hospital Association lobbied for it. Physician-owned hospitals consistently rank among the highest quality facilities in the country. They have lower prices. They have better outcomes. Patient satisfaction scores are higher. Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) data confirms this every year. The ban has nothing to do with quality. It has everything to do with competition. Large hospital systems couldn’t outperform physician-owned hospitals, so they made them illegal. There is no polite way to say this: Congress banned the best option to protect the worst operators in the market.

Hip dipper.

If Shakespeare were alive today, he would be rotting in an English prison. If Balzac were alive today, he would be rotting in a French prison. What a shame that these great European powers have sunk so low that they think hurting people's feelings is a crime.
