TIL the biggest lottery scam in US history was done by Eddie Tipton, head of the Multi-State Lottery Association's IT security. He felt underappeciated & overworked, so he wrote code that narrowed his odds from 5 million to 1 to 200 to 1. He won drawings in five states worth $24m before his arrest.

You know he's right. It's the perfect cover for a Biden Administration that was trying to destroy the competition (not the mining - I truly don't believe those Deep State people gave a damn about anything except money.)

This is rich. NYT Journos doing an autopsy on the DEM failures in 2024 elections. My highpoint quote:
“Many leaders seemed mired somewhere between introspection and self-flagellation.”
If this were true of DEMs, Deep State cronies, and Journalists (including these three sad sacks), then we'd be in some real trouble. Enjoy for now that they have so far learned — absolutely nothing.

"Ultimately, the lasting legacy of Kepler is as a mathematician who, working continuously for more than two decades, during the tumultuous years leading up to the Thirty Years War, came up with detailed mathematical denoscriptions of the movements of the planets in our solar system. Even though the physical explanations that he put forward turned out to be incorrect, it is my belief that had he not attempted to do so, he would not have succeeded in deriving his mathematical laws.
"Those 22 years of perseverance by Kepler made him immortal."

Johannes Kepler Persevered More than Twenty Years to Discover His Third Law
The Third Law of Johannes Kepler, also called the Harmonic Law, is the only one of his three laws which refers to the distance between the sun and the planets.

"You only get one shot. Make it count. Be decisive and prioritize what is actually important to you, not what other people tell you that you should be prioritizing. Most people are idiots and absolutely none of them have their skin in your game. At the end of the day, you’re the one who is going to have to lie in the bed you’ve made."

"Allegations of research fakery at a leading cancer center have turned a spotlight on scientific integrity and the amateur sleuths uncovering image manipulation in published research. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, announced Jan. 22 it’s requesting retractions and corrections of scientific papers after a British blogger flagged problems in early January. The blogger, 32-year-old Sholto David, of Pontypridd, Wales, is a scientist-sleuth who detects cut-and-paste image manipulation in published scientific papers."

TIL in 1950 U.S. Senator Edwin C. Johnson’s favorite actress was Ingrid Bergman. However, when it became public knowledge that she had an affair, he introduced legislation banning all Hollywood movies starring amoral actors and actresses. Humiliated, Bergman left the country.

"A group of teachers at a New Jersey high school sparked outrage by wearing Gulf of America T-shirts to class — in what some have called an attempt to bully Latino students in the majority Hispanic school.
"Donned by a small cluster of Belleville High School teachers on a recent dress-down day, the shirts are a reference to President Trump’s executive order declaring the Gulf of Mexico should instead be called the Gulf of America, NJ.com reported."
