A perfectly good way, through official Microsoft open source application available on github, to make easier and more obvious how to mute and unmute your microphone (and shut your camera off).
Gone.
Never mind if people want it, or if it a common sense feature that SHOULD just be a feature in Windows already, without having to download an extended features app. 
You want privacy, or at the very least not to be embarrassed by a mistake during a large conference call? 
Too bad. THEY find your privacy inconvenient. Your rights be damned. 

1. Some thoughts on Divisional Saturday and Josh Allen's continued playoff bed wetting.

(CORRECTION NOTE: At about 2 minutes I said wild card round was first time Allen had game winning drive in overtime, but I meant the first game winning drive in the playoffs.) 

2. Main Topic - In a recent zoom meeting, Patrick states in what is missing and what they need to get back to you. Guess what. It jives with what I've told you on my various analyses of the Chiefs offensive decline. 

TLDL: FIRE MATT NAGY. 

Greenland for "Golden Dome"??
HAARP, anyone. 
MAGA is now, at best, 5th priority. 

The psy op was easy. 
"What are ya, Donald? Chicken??!" 
"Bet you can't do what other Presidents couldn't do."

There is no hope left.
Vote Libertarian. 

A second look into the numbers. This one featuring revisiting the dazzling heights in average fantasy points per game that Patrick Mahomes attained in his first five years of starting, versus the sharp (really unprecedented for an elite QB in his prime) decline upon Nagy's arrival as OC.

It's not just that Nagy has to leave. May he do well on the rest of his journeys. But it is also that Andy can't just be the venerable grandpa just believing somehow that because heights WERE reached years ago, that everyone is going to self correct and go back to the levels of the 2022 season and before. They have NOT. Let alone now that Kelce's exit is imminent. Andy HAS to enforce those tough quality control processes being reinstituted.

Patrick, by EVERY means, SHOULD have continued to have almost year after year of top 100 fantasy points seasons all time. And instead they stopped abruptly. And always remember, his MOST productive year, yards-wise AND in team results, was AFTER Tyreek left. So don't give me the "he had an elite receiver and that was the only reason" gar-BAGE.

Though I did more with the numbers than what this query shows, the basis for these numbers come from this sports-reference / stathead query:  

Thanks for listening!

Not a study from Tyson's Conspiracy Corner. A study from Tufts and Brown University.

"TYSON, you don't know who cyber attacked it!"
I mean, technically you're right. But I'm imagining it is less likely that just Harold the Hacker, with no stakes about it, just decided to take down a scientific journal website.  In other words, as Andy Dufresne might say - don't be so obtuse.

Daily Mail:
"A global review examining reported cases of cancer following Covid vaccination was published earlier this month, just as the medical journal hosting it was hit by a cyberattack that has since taken the site offline.

The study appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Oncotarget on January 3 and was authored by cancer researchers from Tufts University in Boston and Brown University in Rhode Island."

At top of the website, which can be accessed at the moment I write this:
"In December 2025 and January 2026, our server encountered malicious cyberattacks that led to disruptions of online publications and website access.

The Dark side of PubPeer: there are suspicions that certain individuals associated with PubPeer may have been involved in cybercriminal activities, including hacking servers, causing journal websites to go offline, and using illegitimate practices to influence Google search results for journals and scientists."

(second topic I mention in the intro is actually going to be split into  a different episode)
Anywhere else you'd say "the thing you want to sell is worth what it will sell for, assuming the market is quite aware of you offering it." 

But not in real estate. 

In real estate, the hypnotized industry instead tells their clients, who WANT to sell their houses or they wouldn't be trying, that the price the market will bear is insulting. So a house, that SOMEONE WOULD BUY at a lower price, sits. 

And sits.

And sits. 

How can that be???!!! In the day and age of ebay and amazon and online listings?? It's SHELTER. Therefore it is in demand!! IF the buyers and sellers get to meet at the right price! 

What is the motivation? How many blue pills (the other kind) do these agents (agents, blue pill, matrix... interesting) gulp every day???? 

The house is NOT work $400K if you do not even get offers at that price for months and months on end. 

So do you want to sell it for much more than you bought it for or not? Even if that much more is only $250K versus your purchase price of $175K, instead of the extra $150K that your real estate Agent Smith is telling you (that you'll never get anyway).

The reasoning, I INSIST, is these evil bastards who want you to have fewer options. They build a world of scarcity so that they're relatively more rich and relatively more in control. Even as young couples every year WANT a place where they can grow their family, their legacy, and their equity. 

There are no hanging trees high enough . . .
