  • So, there have been talks about Elon Musk fighting Mark Zuckerberg in a cage match, possibly at the Colosseum in Rome. But today, Zuckerberg’s company will be launching a competitor to Twitter, which is owned by Musk. I’m starting to suspect all of this is related and one big marketing ploy. I predict that Zuckerberg’s company will buy Elon’s Twitter (or some type of merger) and everyone will be migrated to the new social media app. Who knows, maybe they will even wager the social media company. We like bits, right? 🤔 It will be a win/win for both of them. Zuckerberg gets all the data (which he’ll use to make more money) and Musk will get the capital to fund his projects.

Bag of Randomness for Friday, June 30, 2022

  • I have tickets to see the new Indiana Jones movie tonight. My expectations are low.
  • For the first time in decades, I checked a book out at the library.
  • I spent yesterday afternoon in a courtroom. It was the first time I’d ever sat through a whole trial. All my legal woes were done over Zoom. I went to support a friend. This friend had no idea I was going to be there, but I think the support was appreciated as the ruling didn’t go in their favor. The sad part was I could see it coming. I don’t want to see the inside of a courtroom ever again.
  • Texas Monthly – A Texas Family Passed Up Millions to Turn Their Ranch Into a Nature Preserve
  • I’ll be honest. When LiberallyLean posted this photo on his blog, my first thought when looking at the officer was that he was flashing the aTm thumbs-up sign of Gig ’em.
