The Friday Link for 3/21/25

Howdy all!

This week, we start with John Oliver and Last Week Tonight.  On Sunday, he had a show that talked about sports gambling and the rise of the apps that make losing your house easy!

It is really scary to see how quickly these sports betting apps have taken over everything and not only do the apps themselves seem to have ZERO moral compass, but it's very clear that the negative impacts to society will be dire. We really need to think about whether this is a good idea.  

As one woman says [paraphrasing] - "If you are trying to give up drugs, you don't have the drug dealer coming to your house and handing you more drugs."

Moving on...

If you watch my radio show live stream, you might notice I occasionally wear a Congaree National Park t-shirt.  Congaree is located in South Carolina, and it is one of the last remaining untouched bayou wetlands that used to stretch from North Carolina to Texas. In April and May, the park becomes the thing of fantasies as fireflies come out in droves and turn the place mythical.

But you may have noticed where you live that there is a serious downturn in the amount of fireflies overall.  True Facts is trying to help answer that question by asking, "Where Have All The Fireflies Gone!" 


Finally, a bit of diplomacy from Canadian The ANTI-CHEF! 

As a Canadian, you can tell he is just as bothered by what is going on with Trump as the rest of us are.  He tries to rally Canada and encourage support for Canada by diving into a Canadian delicacy, Butter Tarts, and they do look tasty! 


Canada, I love the USA, but I will take you over Trump ANY DAY!!!

Have a great weekend.  PLEASE make sure you stay up to date on all of your vaccinations!
