Today's Tids Issue 5752
I like half full:
Helpful hints are quite numerous
And idle information voluminous.
And it's all because of that rascal,
Artificial intelligence consuminus!
Help!
Get out of your house around sunset today and look for the seven other planets lining up. Mars, Jupiteer, Venus and Mercury will be easily seen by the naked eye. Saturn will be trickiest to see, and Binoculars will be necessary for Uranus and Neptune. But, they will be there.
This Gene Hackman and Wife death scenario gets curiouser and curiouser.
“Chutzpa: Democrats asking a judge for a restraining order against government efficiency.” This from a no-nonsense observer and general all around Tids kibitzer.

“I started a business building boats in my attic, Sails are going through the roof”!!
There is an important NBA game tonight and it should be a very good one. Cleveland at Boston; Cleveland has the best record in the East, 6.5 games ahead of the Celtics. But the Celts want to prove they are still the NBA champs.
Yesterday our Prez sitting next to UK PM Starmer said he never said Zelenski was a dictator. That he would “Never say anything like that”. Say what? The question is now, are his henchmen actually writing Truth Social notes for him?
I’ve been reading about Noem, Saudi Arabia's massive planned Arcology. Arcology defined as the creation a densely populated human habitant using architectural principles with low ecological impact. The total planned area of Neom is 26,500 km2 (10,200 sq mi). Multiple regions are planned, including a floating industrial complex, global trade hub, tourist resorts, and a linear city powered by renewable energy sources. To build it, it will require the displacement of 20,000 human beings and the razing of many towns and villages. Hum... Do you think DT got his Gaza development idea from the Saudis? By the way, this gargantuan project is slated to be finished by 2045, but even though it is progressing, observers are saying it could take100 years to complete. “The Line”, which is a principle concept, has significant groundwork completed and should be ready about 2030, accommodating 300,000 people.
BTW, this is not to be confused with Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem who has her own human displacement policies.
Wall Street and the Fed are reacting today to the report on the inflation gage CPE which strips out the only costs that concern consumers – food and energy costs. I've asked many a professional economist about this discrepancy in logic and they can't explain it to anybody's satisfaction, including their own.
Reducing the cost of government and general spending in order to slow the growth of the deficits is not only a great idea, but essential to our future stability. Firing willy nilly to meet number shoals is not such a bright way of doing it. Remember that private equity funds have raped many a greet company in the name of efficiency for profits.
In the “only in Hollywood” department, apparently there is a new function film making called “Intimacy Coordinators” Yikes.
What is becoming annoying is an increasing number of emails and messages from people who want to become my AI advisor so my life will be better.
Why am I complaining
I think we’ll have weekend
With next to no raining!
Seriously, you read the freaking news each day and your liver enlarges at the insanity going on. Sorry for my gloomy day, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
The Answer:
Number one is Candace Parker followed by Lisa Leslie. Diana Turasi just retired as the all-time leading WNBA scorer, and she is #3. The rest are the ever-graceful Maya Moore, Sue Bird, Cynthia Cooper, Tamika Catchings, Elena Delle Done, Cheryl Swoops and number 10, Lauren Jackson. The Next five are Tina Charles, Tina Thompson, Chamique Holdsclaw, Becky Hammond, Swin Cash, Dawn Staley, Skyler Diggens, Rebecca Lobo (The woman who put UConn on the map), Nneka Ogwumike and #20 Seimone Agustus. Birttany Griner who is certainly well known was 27. Sorry folks, but Caitlin Clarke has only been there for a year.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
