Try as I might - I have little sympathy for these investors. They were greedy and thought he was a wiz kid. Did anybody do their due diligence? Fools!

This afternoon I cycled to the Don River in the heart of Toronto to see if I could catch some salmon doing the annual run, swimming upstream over rapids and dams to get to their birthplace to spawn. I was lucky. This grab is upstream to the falls which was too crowded, so I found this secluded spot.

A US Navy corruption story, you've probably never heard of. One should have many questions as to what actually happened, after reading the story.

The rhetoric coming from western media, doesn't really match the events on the ground. The Russians gave up territory that was lightly defended in what is called a strategic retreat. Ukrainian troops didn't fight their way in.

Just listened to yet another piece on
🔥 disrupting tech
🔥 on an urgent topic
🔥 from a startup 🌈🦄

Could journalists who do these pieces at least *try* to be a *little* critical and ask questions rather than just copy the PR material?

🙌 If any company says they have very new, bleeding edge technology, chances are people have worked on it before, it may even be 20-odd years old and one part just recently became cheaper or improved. That's fine, it's still a biggie. Just be honest about it and acknowledge that tech is incremental.

☝️ If a company - especially a start-up - says "We're gonna be market ready next year!" - especially when all they have so far is a "lab prototype™" - that market readiness next year is horse poo.

⚡ If they say something along the line of "we're definitely going to be successful because we took this electrobrontotricafibulator from space-fusion-AI-tech and use it for X", then at least do more research on the thing than just looking up its correct pronounciation. Chances are there are half a dozen big caveats and it's certainly not a sure thing. Have the courage to contact someone else (unaffiliated) in the field.

</rant> Thanks for reading.
