Suspend them. Expel them. Make them explain to their parents why they threw away a $100K education.

I am a few hours late, but it's okay, the essay is old enough to forgive me: It's early in the morning on 15 April and thus time once again for Roy Brander's brilliant 1995 essay about risk management, Thomas Andrews, and the Titanic. Please do read.

Not a shock -- he has been so veey ill for so very long -- but a sadness nonetheless. May Akebono's memory be for a blessing. (The old heads of the Web are encouraged to raise a glass -- IYKYK.)

Not to be one of those crazy plant ladies, but I would like to find the person who opened this flytrap's sale container and shoved a grape into its "mouth." I wish to return the favor.

Maybe it still smells like teen spirit, but these days it just tastes like ashes.

This, this, so *very* this. I am headed for an viewing zone on 8 April, and now I am lowkey grieving that I won't be present for what sounds like a gorgeous one in 2079. Please do attend next month's if you can. Totality is like nothing else you've experienced.

The Publicly-Traded Presidential Candidate
Trump's about to pull off biggest grift of his life, & MSM failing to report the danger.

"The con involves his floundering Truth Social, whose shares go public next week. The “SPAC” (short for “special purpose acquisition company”), he's using to circumvent normal IPO process, voted to merge w/Trump Media & Technology Grp, begins publicly trading under symbol “DJT.”
