It's Time To Say Goodbye To What You Thought You Would Be
The Spotify algo just played this song for me and I loved it … a beautiful voice and smart lyrics:
I Want to Chop Your Spicy Cow Foot
Can’t make out the lyrics, but I like this song:
Which Party Will Win the Electoral College in 2020?
I took a look at PredictIt’s Electoral College map (below) and put the numbers into a spreadsheet.
The election will be decided by a handful of swing states. Assuming the incumbent wins all the swing states which are tilting his way (Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, etc.), he only needs to win Pennsylvania and some combination of either Arizona or Michigan or Wisconsin to be re-elected, which seems to be a pretty low bar. Of course in 2016 he won all four of those states, which was no surprise to me. This election is a harder call than the last one, but I think the incumbent has a very good chance to win.
V45 Hits on September 24, 2020
Rare day where I got lucky number eight stocks hitting on my V45 scan … all about banking sick coin, my bros.
The Simpsons S01 E03
“Looks like there's a little leftover nuclear waste. No problem. I'll just put it where nobody'll find it for a million years. So, now you know the whole true story of nuclear energy, our no longer misunderstood friend. So, keep on smilin'.”
The Simpsons S01 E02
“If you ask me, humankind has freedom... a freedom fraught with paradoxes. Freud shows how childhood shapes our subconscious mind... but this helps us to think for ourselves.”
The Simpsons S01 E01
“I wish that you wouldn’t [trash my father]. Because, aside from the fact that he has the same frailties as all human beings, he’s the only father I have. Therefore, he is my model of manhood, and my estimation of him will govern the prospects of my adult relationships. So I hope you bear in mind that any knock at him is a knock at me. And I am far too young to defend myself against such onslaughts.“
Movies Watched -- Beanpole (2020)
139 minute running time so at least 40 minutes too long … not a feel-good story, Russian women living with the traumas of war … first-time actresses and the kid who directed it is 28 years old, impressive … I didn’t hate it, but I also can’t recommend it, unless you’re a glutton for Russian punishment. I liked that the Party official and his beautiful, ice-cold wife lived in a mansion and had a Mercedes.
Dick Brody wasn’t thrilled: “… showy performances and photogenic moments. But the characters don’t seem to exist outside the stilted drama of their individual scenes.“
You wouldn’t rate a bread crust…
