Change one letter
Headline: Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Prize. He’ll win. No doubt about it. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, then after the damage was done he started the prize to reward people who avoid dynamite. Since 1970 the prize has served Nobel’s commercial interests, not his pretended repentance. The prize goes to the biggest and best customer…

Sanity elsewhere doesn’t help here
Via Shepstone, apparently the Dems in some states are listening to a bizarre radio signal from a distant galaxy. They’re attempting to please the incomprehensible alien species called “voters” instead of their required instant obedience to billionaires. Quoting from the orthodox Dem Politico: = = = = = START QUOTE: Stung by the party’s sweeping…

Speaking?
Most old movies and TV shows have totally unrealistic phone behavior. Businesses don’t pick up the phone with the name of the business, they just say “Hello” or “Yeah?” The caller always does the ID. “Is this Acme Construction?” When shows try for realism, they use a method that may have been real in some…

Nulling the local balance
This year I’m trying to null the balance, make more beauty and order, do things the right way whether recognized or not, trying to restore the activities that were bombed by the Bush-Trump monstrosity in 2020-22. One of those activities was yard care. I’ve been mowing regularly but not sprinkling or trimming things. A nearby…

Spoiled brats
“Journalists” are worried about Google’s new chatbot. = = = = = START BRAT: The consequences for the internet as we know it will be profound. For news publishers, they have already been profound.

Personal schadenfreude
Via Gizmodo. Chegg, the company that offered a variety of online courses and homework cheats, rose to a fine Tech Tyrant peak of Holy Share Value during the Bush-Trump concentration camp.

Static vs dynamic abundance
Abundance is presently the subject of some heeeaaaavvvvvy discussions among the intellectuals. I don’t know what they mean by it and don’t really need to know. Pinheads dancing on angels. In reality, a feeling of abundance lets people relax, lets things remain abundant. When we feel a scarcity we rush to grab the last one,…

Who? How?
Who benefits from ruining the police and prosecutors? Who benefits from rampant crime and homelessness, destroying the stability and security of civilization? Easy answer, because we know exactly who is doing it. George Soros. How does he benefit? That’s more of a mystery. When he destroyed other countries in the 80s and 90s, he gained…

Only looks like magic
Seen in a meme: People who speak two languages have a special magic. Bilingualism looks magic to those of us who have been raised in a prescriptive system with only one way of doing things. Most people in most countries in most time periods naturally speak two or three languages, function in two or three…

Big things don’t hit the news.
Reading some railroad-related items on Quora. Three years ago, a Canadian insider mentioned that Canadian Pacific was about ready to buy Kansas City Southern, forming the first complete north-south railroad across all of the continent. Sure enough, the merger was completed in 2023 and fully running this year. This is BIG news for both countries…

Speaking of scammers….
Speaking of scammers and reputations: Yesterday Canadian authorities caught a major swindler named Gareth West. He posed as an Andrew Tate style extreme sportsman and bodybuilder. He pretended to get rich from flipping properties and made videos showing people how to flip. He did buy lots of real estate but didn’t flip it. He lived…

How to beat a lottery
NewScientist has an interesting bit of mathy history about beating a lottery. It takes a lot of work and usually some inside help to buy all the tickets and guarantee a win. Success also needs careless design of the lottery itself. The article lists three times when gangs succeeded, at least partly. The first was…

More Foy Rebellion
Another small indication of the Foy Rebellion, the return to analog. During the Bush-Trump “virus” holocaust, young folks lost their connection to life for an irreplaceable two years. They turned to digital media like dating apps, but eventually found that digital can’t replace face to face. Now they’re returning to clubs and real dates, and…

Three categories
Substack has degraded and simplified into three categories. 1. Branch office of MSNBC 2. CS Lewis quotes 3. “If you don’t read a thousand heavy books per year, you’re an illiterate subhuman retard.” Category 1 is intended to win. The management is pouring their subsidies and rewards into the MSNBC branch office. After purification, they…

Newspapers were snacks
Via Nieman: A media company in Belgium is trying a weird radical sci-fi method to attract PAID readers under age 65. The media company clearly finds this weird approach distasteful but feels it’s needed if they want to survive. = = = = = START QUOTE: Mediahuis carried out qualitative research to find out what…
