On My Mind 

• There is absolutely NO WAY a Black couple – or any Black person, for that matter! – would call a) cops who just happen to be conveniently passing by, and b) complain that they suspect a Black man of robbing two White women he is riding with.
  
  Also conveniently for these cops, there isn’t any video of the passers-by. But, they have video of everything else.
  
  Making matters worse, one of the women was his White grandmother, and they were going home from Church!

Business

• When the [Shari] Redstone vs Les Moonves saga started, I was firmly on Shari’s side. Because I believe in dynastic wealth, and most importantly, believe that no-founder CEOs are, and should remain servants of the company, and, by proxy, the founding families. Turns out, Moonves was not only a creep – allegedly, he is an gobshite of the worst order! What a knob! I can’t, and won’t forgive him for making Janet Jackson the target of his ire

• I have always wondered why there is a rush to full autonomy, especially for airborne transportation, which must be controlled over several axis. SkyRyse may have a great solution here.
