Adam Curry recalls a time John C. Dvorak wanted to start a rumor that Curry owned a blimp just for the sake of the "meme."

Researcher Brian Chow uncovered a $21 billion "racial wealth transfer" created through COVID-era health equity incentives (HEI).

Adam Curry expresses distrust for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing a case where a local ER doctor was allegedly scapegoated for a $70 million medical brace scam.
