Just a guy with some opinions (mostly sarcasm) and a bit of metal. I like cycling and music.

Now Spinning: Tower of Power - Live And In Living Color
The 8-minute live version of "Sparkling In The Sand" is especially superb, with outstanding flute work by Lenny Pickett. And it's notably distinct from most of the group's horn-heavy funk stylings (which I also like).

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.
The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies here
It's true that many people are legitimately confused by changes in nutrition science over timem, which has opened the door for RFK, Jr. and others. But what doesn't help is journalism which leans into that confusion by platforming views running counter to current and established science. 1/
Is this click bait? cowardice? or both? Put the facts in the headline, please. Medical evidence shows saturated fats are bad for you, causing heart attacks even stroke. RFK jr & his MAHA movement are putting people at risk by suggesting the opposite. Say that. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/w...
