Sunday Funday: Schrodinger's Blockade, Trump v Pope, plus other posts, sports stuff, musical notes, getting old(er), Carney hat trick, TrumpWatch, Animal Crackers


It's being called Schrodinger's Blockade tonight, because nobody knows anymore whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed or both at once.

"You put your blockade in You pull your blockade out You put your blockade in and you sail it all about Do the Hokey Trumpy cuz your brain is full of doubt That's what he's all about"

sorry to get political but we should probably avoid electing unmedicated, clinically insane people as president in the future

I think the main problem with mainstream political journalism these days is the credibility given to clearly preposterous people

And this is hilarious - the "Door Dash Grandma" and the "Downed Pilot" are both an actor named Sharon Simmons. She also "testified" at a hearing last year as an aggrieved taxpayer:

They really really think people are fucking stupid. Problem is some people really are fucking stupid.

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

Moving on, here are posts I found interesting.

This essay about three companies - two successful, one not - is a fascinating read:

This one took me weeks. Three shoe brands, same decade, wildly different fates. The piece is really about one question: what do people organize around when the novelty wears off? I think the answer applies far beyond footwear.

Another good business story here:

Remember Dan Price...that CEO who took a pay cut so he could pay all his employees a minimum annual wage of $70,000? Here’s what happened next: “Six years later after the decision that others said would destroy his business, Dan reports that revenue has tripled, the customer base has doubled, 70% of his employees have paid down debt, many bought homes for the first time, 401(k) contributions grew by 155% and turnover dropped in half. His business is now a Harvard Business School case study.” In his own words: “6 years ago today I raised my company's min annual salary to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.” Courtesy of Craig Henley

With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...

The Donald Trump assault on green energy will backfire, as most of his plans do. And as his authoritarian consolidation attempt is likewise backfiring spectacularly (hello PM Magyar!!)
