Final Assessment of Jimmy Kimmel

 First, he will be going away in May 2026....ending his show.  No extension....no passing of the show to the next guy.  Comedy for late-night is finished.

Second, Kimmel's show peaked in 2014.  Toward January of 2026....I expect the peak numbers and Jan-2026 to be a problem....probably now amounting to 20-percent of 2014's numbers.

Third, most will agree....since 2016....Kimmel hasn't been funny.

Finally, activist-comedians are toxic....destroying any business model you could imagine for a TV show. Same story for activist news-people....activist religious-people....and activist-instructors/professors.  

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  I asked AI (Grok) how many Americans have one single source for their news.

The answer....based on studies?  Around 18-to-25 percent (depending on the study you use).   

I'm not saying it's a bad thing....but if you got bad info from the single source....it's not a good thing.

2. This arrest and charges for Comey?

I think it's to lure the 'hunted' out in the open....with additional charges in the future....in other states.  The judge in this case?  Probably given a chance to screw up, and find himself deep in ethical charges.

3.  The thing  I've learned about this Tylenol chatter?  Basically....all of the over-the-counter crap....is dangerous if taken in excess.   If you drunk up 3 bottles of liquid Exlax....it's dangerous.

4.  Just this simple gut-feeling....that a quarter of people graduating from college....probably are no smarter than the day they entered....but they are $70,000 more in debt for the 'experience'.

5.  It just seems....every seven days or so....some chaos or panic is in creation-mode, and 25-percent of the public is acting like 12-year old kids....when this fake-emergency starts to occur.

Is Math Racist?

 No.

Math itself isn't racist, by the way it functions. It's a system of logic, numbers, and outcomes, built on universal principles that don't discriminate. 

However, you can say the way math is taught, applied, or interpreted can reflect biases. An example, if educational systems prioritize certain groups over others in access to quality math education, or if data used in mathematical models (like algorithms for policing or lending) embeds historical inequities, outcomes can appear biased.

In the early 70s...I went to a junior high school, and in the 6th grade....found myself in a class with a 60-year old teacher that simply could not get basic algebra across.  She had health issues.....was gone by mid-year, and the sub was worse at applying math instruction.

7th grade?  New math teacher in the school....same problem....could not get advanced math across.

8th grade?  Another new math teacher....same problem.

9th grade?  Another new math teacher....same problem.

Finally, in the 10th grade....a teacher who simply handed the book out and said advance at your own speed.  I was doing a chapter a week, and wrapped up the tests/book shortly after Christmas.

Just my humble guess...but if you tested all the people claiming some status as a math teacher....probably 40-percent of them aren't capable of getting the instruction across to kids.
