Today's Tids Issue 6,187
The Lid is Off:
When you say I'm adjusting to a new normal, at my age it means something entirely different than some cultural overhaul.
I felt a poem yesterday,
But nobody could hear it.
There was no rhyme
Just a feeling serene.
A simple melody of calm.
Yesterday at the Naval War College in Newport Hegseth told the assembled officers, students and instructors that promotions will no longer be based on time in service but in passing rigorous war games achievement. War isn't about collaborating over coffee. It is serious.
The Question:
Forbes Mag Just named Paul McCartney the Third Richest Musician and official Billionaire on its well-known list. Who are the Two ahead of him?

Well, it is no surprise. Yesterday Trump moved away from accepting the results of the election to saying it was "Rigged.
I made a comment yesterday about Meta Glasses being just another way to become lazier. I based that on the fact that the sales persons say with the Meta glasses you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket. Yeah right, that's a real advantage. But I didn't talk about how amazing these glasses are for the Blind and seeing disabled. They describe surroundings and Read menus and price tags. They. They can even help a cook move around a stove and help prepare recipes. So don't listen to the Tidster. Technology is more than a lark.
In his tone poem Le Chaseur Mudit, Cesar Franck creates this wonderful theme which for some reason he decided not to weave back into the finale. It's easy to be a critic when you know nothing. But I hate losing things that are beautiful.
I judge which day I'm living in by what I had for breakfast. Yeah, I am that routine.
People still watch the Network evening news even though the overall audiences continue to shrink. Now you can get instant news on your Meta Glasses! That's an aside. Which Network is on top of three bigs? David Muir at ABC is topes with 8.4 Mil about, a mil in the early twenties. Next is Tom Llamas and NBC with about 6.6M. CBS is still looking for Cronkite. Tony Dokoupil had the biggest drop off and came in at about 4.2M. Personally, I enjoy the news from 6 to 7, first llocal and then natioanal. But what would they do without explosions, floods and small planes landing on highways. Hey,tey c gotta compete with Tik Tok.
Do you know what I don't like about this new Techno era. These apps pretending they are your friend, that all they want to do is make you happy. "Hey Dick, look what I found for you, a new memory."
The NFL Trade deadline is about 32 minutes from this moment. Minn just traded with LV for Kirk Cousins. So far the Jags are the most aggressive buyers and the Colts the most aggressive sellers. Obviously, we will interrupt the typing of the Tids if there is a blockbuster in the nest 26 minutes. There wasn't.
In Rhode Island, buildings that were built to house HQ's of strong corporations now say Storage Units. Yeah, we have booming construction industry building storage centers and car washes. No employment there.
The Answer:
Taylor Swift is number one and JayZ is number two ahead of Sir Paul. Sir Paul—sounds weird.
Here's a little Sir Pual to end it all.
