“This is truly a brilliant tactic,” he said. “I never would have considered their viewpoint before, but now that they have completely ruined my plans and made my life more difficult, I’m far more inclined to agree with them.”

Claudine Gay Gives Tearful Resignation Speech Entitled ‘Gettysburg Address’ - Babylon Bee

Sources say the crowd was moved to tears by the time the speech concluded. “I have concluded that because of the Watergate matter I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation would require,” she concluded. “Therefore, I shall resign from the presidency effective noon tomorrow.”

Harvard President Claudine Gay Resigns After Plagiarism Allegations, Campus Antisemitism Backlash - WSJ

Gay has requested four corrections on two academic papers and is updating her dissertation in three spots

I guess you can’t have a president who plagiarizes tell your enrolled students not to plagiarize?

A year of fits and starts, but I got it done.

Here are the books I finished reading in 2023.

Detroit Pistons Relegated To WNBA - Babylon Bee

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert welcomed the new addition to the league. “We’re thrilled to add such a storied basketball franchise,” she said. “Fostering disinterest in the fanbase and showcasing lackluster play in front of mostly empty arenas are hallmarks of our league, so we’re confident the Pistons will feel right at home here.”

Dr. Collins continued: “So you attach infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. You attach a zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people’s lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never quite recovered.” This, he explained, “is a public-health mindset,” which was “another mistake we made.”

Apple Wins Temporary Reprieve as U.S. Court Pauses Watch Ban - WSJ

Apple won a temporary reprieve for its $18 billion smartwatch business after a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday paused a federal agency’s import ban on most of its watch models.

We must protect the world’s most valuable company from the consequences of pretending like they’re going to buy a company, stealing their ideas and monetizing the stolen IP for their sole benefit! It’s not like Apple can pay license fees or royalities to their victim for the IP that they stole.

It looks like my end of year web design project for 2023 is adding a color nav bar to my website!

Where Americans Invested Their Money in 2023, in Six Charts - WSJ

Investors have piled into far-reaching corners of global markets, driving a rally spanning stocks, bonds, gold and even cryptocurrencies. Yields on risky corporate bonds have fallen to some of the lowest levels of the past year, while bond prices have rallied.

It’s incredible to me how many articles WSJ puts out on investment trends. I guess it fills pages and sells papers, but the trends are almost always short-lived.

All is calm, all is bright. Merry Christmas!
