Spotify’s DJ

Spotify’s DJ

Spotify added an AI DJ back in February and this is the first time I’ve started using it. It speaks every couple songs with comments like “you you used to listen to this artist years ago, but they’ve fallen out of your playlists, here’s Capital...

Another Longshot Opportunity

The Ticket I have a 2nd ticket for $25 @ 22-1 as well. The Current Leaderboard I was curious about Taiwan’s CT Pan’s latest/past results as he’s had a wrist injury. He took 4th a month ago at the Byron Nelson and missed 2 cuts prior to that and...

It’s Only 4 Heroin Needles!

Technically they could be Fentanyl needles. I’m not an expert. These were found today outside of our building near a porta potty where the derelicts shoot up. People from the outside wonder how bad is Philadelphia? Does the media only show the worst of the...

Is Target Next?

Is Target Next?

If you remember my Bud Light post about shorting the stock after the trans activist Dylan Mulvaney personalized can debacle, you’d have been rewarded with a 100% gain. Naturally, I sold them 2 days ago and only grossed 50%, and that leaves me with…as the...
