Replying to @plasmarob @eigenrobot
Markets are a mechanism for calculation, not a source of moral authority. I think it is up to each of us to work towards being devoted spouses, grateful children, loving parents, and dear friends who are true to our word, who stand resolute against evil yet forgive those who wrong us, and who lift the spirits of all we meet with kind words and an open heart. That is, markets can enable us to live good lives, but they won't do the living for us—and they can't supply the good.

Mrs and I saw the Elizabeth Holmes movie with Kid3. After an early scene, she learned over and said “That’s way longer than it needs to be.” I responded with a flat stare. “THAT’S not what I meant!”

"...By our count, armed citizens stopped 36.6 percent of the active-shooter incidents identified over those twelve years, nearly ten times the FBI’s 3.9 percent. Over the most recent five years, that figure rose to 42.5 percent. The percentage rises further when we consider only places where law-abiding citizens may legally carry firearms. After all, you can’t expect armed civilians to stop many attacks in places that prohibit them from carrying. Outside gun-free zones, we estimate that armed civilians stopped 56.3 percent of active-shooter attacks over the past five years..."

Yes, Armed Civilians Can — and Do — Stop Mass Shootings: Data ignored by the FBI show the importance of defensive gun use in bringing down active shooters Two days after last week’s attack on an Oregon elementary school, the @AP opened a news story with a familiar claim: “Few mass shootings in the U.S. end like the deadly attack on an Oregon elementary school: with an armed civilian opening fire on the gunman.” crimeresearch.org/2026/10/at… #2a #guns #GFZ #gunfreezone

Tuesday I’m substitute teaching (half-day) for the 5th grade. I hope my classroom mgt has leveled up. (There was a brief “I need a bandaid” mania during my day of 2nd grade. An older teacher helped quell it and made them return to their seats.)

Seems like the legal profession is going above and beyond to reinforce its cartel that restricts competition in the market to supply legal services. 2/2 abovethelaw.com/2026/10/hofs…

Hofstra Claims It Has No Duty To Help Bar Examinees Suffering Cardiac Arrest - Above the Law

When an emergency hits the bar exam, Hofstra doesn't think that's on the entity renting out the hall.

I started to read a bit on Columbus, but it listed his ships as "the Santa Maria, Nina and Pinta". Has to be AI. There is no way an actual human would write the ships that way in English. I got no further with that slop.

Son has developed a math proof: There are two ways to make an even number. (even + even, odd + odd). There has one way to make an odd number (odd + even). Therefore, there are fewer odd numbers than even numbers.
