RIP, my frequent double scull partner Ellen Spear. The obituary is nice. I got to see the rowing side of her, that side of her was focused and very tough. We raced together this summer; cancer went fast enough to leave all of us who rowed with her in shock. www.berkshireeagle.com/news/local/b...
BerkshiresWeek.com Editor Ellen Spear remembered for her quick wit, energetic nature and love of food
Spear joined the Eagle in 2023, returning to journalism after 35 years away from reporting and programming roles in radio.

A good friend described to me meeting in 2012 or thereabouts with some billionaires who supported Obama in 2008 but had turned on him by 2012. He said the billionaires told him that President Obama had been way too mean to Wall Street, he had said some very, very hurtful things about Wall Street.
Mr. Obama sir we tried to tell you that you were running with a bad crowd (billionaires), they’re bad news

Fwiw my wife works with a nonprofit that serves lower-income families in the Boston area and the amount of gratuitous and destructive cruelty now being dealt to the folks she works with is totally insane.

Brawndo steam’s got what catapults crave
Trump: "They spent $900,093,000 on the catapults trying to get them to work. And they had steam, which worked so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're gonna go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm gonna do an executive order."

Many people are asking me who will win the Nobel Prize in Economics on Monday. While I don’t know for sure, this year I think that it will be Satoshi Nakamoto, or Emmanuel Saez.

Advice I got from a professor: “It can be ok to do drugs while you study, and it can be ok to take an exam on drugs, but it only works if you study and take the exam on the same drugs. If you try to take an exam on different drugs from your study drugs then it doesn’t work.”
