 [Rooster Police] Please help stop this man from killing KW chickens, please. He was shooting roosters sleeping in the trees at Bayview Park. Video |
| [Government Shutdown] Both parties should give in and not take a 2-week vacation while they hold the nation hostage for their beliefs. Taking a 2-week vacation while TSA workers are losing their homes and cars is wrong. When Congress shuts down the government, Congresspersons should not get paid. Why should the lowly worker be made to pay for Congress’ lack of action? The workers had nothing to do with the shutdown. It’s about time we force Congress to put its money where its mouth is. |
 [Free Computer Giveaway] The computer being given away is an HP Pro Desk (small case) with a fresh load of Windows 11, 16GB RAM, solid state hard drive, and is very fast.

| The word shambles comes from the 19th century Shambles Street in York, England where the meat was killed and butchered. It was the meat street and stunk and was a mess, hence—shambles. |

| [Friday Joke] A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer.” the man began, “I can explain”. “Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.” “But officer, I just wanted to say….” “And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!” A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.” “Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.” |

| [Hold on to Your Hardware] A warning about rising prices, vanishing consumer choice, and a future where owning a computer may matter more than ever as hardware, power, and control drift toward data centers and away from people. Link |
 [Gambling And Prediction Markets] We haven’t seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do to America. I don’t think people have thought hard enough about how bad this could get. Link |

 A rogue mushroom native to Asia is ripping through North American forests, after escaping from cultivation. As it runs riot, mushroom enthusiasts are rescuing the native fungi in its path. The golden oyster mushroom craze unleashed an invasive species – and a worrying new study shows it’s harming native fungi. Link |
| The much-abused comma. The Oxford comma? The Oxford comma (also known as the series comma, the Cambridge comma or the Harvard comma) is the comma before the last item in a list – before ‘and.’ In the Oxford University Press, this is house style. There is always a comma before the last item in a list, before ‘and.’ Well. This offends me deeply. Link |
 [Brain] Last year I had a brain MRI done as part of a research study at the University of Melbourne Centre for Brain, Mind and Markets. Afterwards, the researchers sent me the raw scan, which meant I could inspect my own anatomy rather than just read a radiology summary. Interactive |
| [Friday Joke] The wife and I took a long, leisurely drive out to the country and pulled over to fill up our car’s gas tank and tires… She was surprised to see that the station had a fee to fill the tires and asked me, “Why in the world do they charge for AIR?!” I responded, “Inflation.” |

| [Friday Joke] My nagging wife died suddenly on a trip to Jerusalem. Funeral director, “Sir, it would cost about $45,000 if we send her home back to the states or $500 if we bury her here in Jerusalem.” Me: “Ship her home.” Funeral director: “But sir, why don’t you bury her here in the Holy Land and you can save money.” Me: “A long time ago a man was buried here and 3 days later he rose from the dead, I can’t take that chance.” |
