“This was made just for me!” Said every high school age boy who has heard this album since it came out when I was in high school.

Larissa re: Amy
Larissa Kelly offers her congratulations to the latest Jeopardy! champion, Amy Schneider.
Well, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years…but it's been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence, on the show and off. Congratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show's history! ??

Amy is the first openly transgender J! champ, and the Twitter exchange between Larissa and Amy has received some media coverage, including on People.com.
As I have been saying, the big stuff associated with this weblog all happened within its first few years, and Larissa remains the all-time ratings champ. Larissa was so immensely and immediately popular that the site went from nothing to tens of thousands of daily hits overnight, and her every subsequent appearance on Jeopardy! had the same effect. I owe her, big time!
It Came From Outer Farce
I have a simpler review of Don’t Look Up. If you have Netflix, watch it.
Armor Makes the Man
Good guy…
… or bad?
Black Sabbath’s Paranoid was another album I got for Christmas 50 years ago, along with Who’s Next. Bass, guitar, drums, and front man, like the Who, yet with a completely different sound. I’m surprised they didn’t have their logo on the kick drum.
Finger Prick Fool’s Gold
If I were on the jury of the Elizabeth Holmes trial I’d vote to convict. But my guess is she has conned the jury the way she convinced investors to back her. I predict she will be acquitted of fraud or, if there is a juror who sees through her act, they will be unable to reach a verdict.
Holmes had an undeniably worthwhile idea, but she wasn’t unique in that vision. She talked a good game but lacked the ability to deliver on her promises. The irony for Holmes is that another company, Genalyte, has quietly succeeded where she failed so spectacularly. Yahoo Finance has an excellent, comprehensive documentary on Holmes and her failed company Theranos.
