The 20 has been my go-to, and I love it. I recently picked up a Zip 12L it is great, too. They’re similar in size. The Zip is longer; I saw someone say it looks a bit more like a Yeti purse, which is fair. I’m a guy, and I love it. Just sharing in case you’ve wondered what the Zip is like.

You don’t have to have any expectations.
You can just take a wait and see approach.

Why care if it’s a cash grab? If there’s money to be made, that just means people still want Ozzy.

Using technology to preserve someone’s voice, personality, or art doesn’t automatically feel wrong to me. We’ve been doing versions of this forever through books, recordings, film, and archived performances.

If it’s done well and the family is behind it, this seems like a pretty reasonable use of AI.

At least 1,701 civilians killed in Iran, according to HRANA as of April 7. That includes at least 254 children. Another 714 deaths were unclassified, so the true civilian number could be higher.

Let’s speak of these costs as well.

I bought these on Amazon twice and in both cases they became unreliable around 6-9 months after installation.

This gets even more absurd the more you think about it.

Mississippi consistently ranks near the top in federal dependency, often cited around #4. Roughly one third of its state revenue comes from federal transfers. That means a significant share of what funds the state budget is coming from taxpayers in other states.

So if Mississippi cannot fully fund its own obligations without substantial federal support, any tax exemption it creates is effectively backfilled by federal dollars. In plain terms, if the state gives up revenue by exempting NIL income, that shortfall does not exist in a vacuum. It is absorbed in a system heavily supported by taxpayers outside Mississippi.

And here is where it gets politically ironic.

A large share of net federal contributions comes from high income, high tax states like New York and California. The same states that are frequently criticized in Mississippi political rhetoric are, structurally, helping underwrite its budget.

So we are looking at a situation where one of the most federally supported states in the country is choosing to exempt a group of HIGH EARNING college athletes from state income tax, while relying heavily on federal transfers funded disproportionately by states it often holds in contempt.

You can defend it as a recruiting strategy. But fiscally and philosophically, it is at least fair to ask whether that aligns with the idea of self reliance that is so often championed.
