Emerging from a three-day hiatus that felt more like being lost at sea with nothing but my thoughts and a dwindling supply of sanity, I’ve paddled back to the shores of Blogville, ready to regale you with tales so riveting, they might just make you forget I was ever gone. First on the docket: the greatest military hero whose name is so classified, even Google throws up a “Did you mean: someone else?” Next, we’ll tackle the 2024 State of the Union, where the biggest question wasn’t about policy or promises, but whether the President was secretly auditioning for a reboot of “Breaking Bad”. Then, it’s on to Zack Snyder, a man who crafts ‘Snyder Cuts’ with the same fervor I apply to avoiding household chores. And finally, I’ll recount my unexpected golfing triumph, a round so miraculous it had bystanders wondering if I’d made a deal with the devil—or at least with a very lenient golf instructor. Strap in, dear readers; it’s going to be a wild ride back into the heart of blogging madness.

One of the podcasts that I enjoy listening to is ‘Modern Wisdom’. He had a good discussion with Tim Kennedy where he mentions the greatest Military Hero you’ve never heard of.

We had our friends from down the street over for drinks and pizza. Mmmm pizza. Good talk and good banter. I enjoy the kind of mental chess. We’ve kind of lost the ability to disseminate facts from opinions along the way. Just because you want something to be accurate, no matter how much others repeat it, doesn’t make it true. We had an interesting discussion of the SOTU address. Was he on drugs?

This year is coming, and the following years will be the years of AI. AI is making leaps and bounds in advancements and will be integrated into our lives more and more. You might as well get used to it and embrace the tools and how to use them.

I asked one of the most advanced AIs available. I asked it to describe the 2024 SOTU address and whether the President was on drugs. Answer below: (I like that it even gives me citations from what information it uses)

It is unfounded and baseless to suggest that Joe Biden was on drugs during the State of the Union address. The President delivered a comprehensive speech addressing various critical issues facing the nation, such as the high cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. [1][2][3]. During his address, Biden pledged to cap total prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare at $2,000 a year and emphasized his commitment to lowering drug prices for all Americans[3][5]. His speech covered topics like the conflict in Ukraine, domestic challenges, and economic policies, showcasing a coherent and focused delivery[4].

The idea that Biden was under the influence of drugs during such a significant national address lacks any factual basis. His speech was well-structured, addressing key policy initiatives and challenges facing the country with clarity and conviction. Therefore, attributing his performance to drug use is not only unfounded but also detracts from the importance of the issues discussed during the State of the Union address.

It seems AI seems to understand that saying the President was on drugs lacks “any factual basis.”

Zack Snyder had an interesting interview about his views of comic book fans.

He had a good discussion about these characters being mythos, trying to push them in directions they’re uncomfortable with and showing the audience what happens. For example, Batman killing. He specifically mentions the scene of ‘Batman’ and his “I believe you” scene that he made for Batman v. Superman.

I had big plans to talk about this week’s golf, but it turns out I’m about as organized as a squirrel in a peanut factory. Maybe tomorrow, or the next day, or the next… In the meantime, here’s a snapshot of Rory McIlroy at Bay Hill. Look at him, pretending he didn’t crush that ball on the exact line he wanted.
