Starving the demons
There’s no way to kill or depose demons who own everything, but Nature has a way of starving overgrown monsters who trample and gobble up all the plants. Pointed via the Pillar substack, a list of the Vatican’s budget problems. This is good news for the real church, which is in Africa along with Snowbird…

Forgot about this…
Scare headlines note that “CLIMATE EMERGENCY” is “forcing” insurance companies to cancel coverage in “emergencied” areas. Remembered an old fact that I’d forgotten. The reinsurance companies, who provide the wholesale end of the business while State Farm etc provide the retail, have been playing the “climate” game for fun and profit since 1973, BEFORE the…

More goddamn right
Under the 5th cardiac arrest drug overdose this morning, one commenter hits the mark. I’m investing in the stock market and I’m thinking “Narcan” for a win. Retirement in about 3-6 months at this pace. Our new “mayor” is doing an outstanding job for Big Pharma, even better than our old “mayor”.

Goddamn right.
Goddamn right. Good work by Jeffrey Funk. On the dot in every way. It’s refreshing to see a “conservative” writer who states accurately why universities are permanently useless. Most “conservatives” start with the bizarre delusional myth that universities were meant to be havens of “open debate” and “critical thinking”, but were ruined by Current President…

We just don’t…
One of the regular contributors to Curbside Classics is a writer currently based in Tokyo, who catches and snaps the best in Tokyo cars. And that’s a high bar, since ALL the interesting cars in the world, both old and new, have ended up in the hands of Tokyo collectors. (I haven’t figured out what…

Part of OCD Nazism
It’s been clear for a while that the war on tobacco is part of Deepstate’s war on civilization. The timeline is clear enough. It started after WW2 along with the other institutions of Deepstate. It cranked up in the ’70s along with Nixon’s environmentalism. It reached overdrive in 1990 when the Bush dynasty took over…

Mockery is the controller
I’ve learned one big thing over the years, especially in the last decade when I’ve been running tech history pieces, looking up information in obscure journals and books, OUTSIDE the standard media and school sources. EVERYTHING in the usual media and history books is false. EVERY FACT we learned in school is demonstrably false, by…

Unique clothing
An extremely non-generic suspect, peculiar from head to toe and everywhere in between. Shouldn’t be hard to identify this one! He seems to come from the same planet as Klaus Schwab.

Sammy still leading cult
Via Protos: = = = = = START QUOTE: Writing to US district judge Lewis Kaplan, who is overseeing SBF’s sentencing, Carmine Simpson, who is currently incarcerated alongside Bankman-Fried, claimed, “I have had the honor to have gotten to know Sam over the past six months.” He added, “Sam is the most selfless person that…

Demobilize
Here’s a modest proposal. We did it in 1920, and we did it in 1945, but then soon went backwards. We can do it again. We still have significant industrial capacity, but it’s mostly making weapons and surveillance equipment. Humans are MASSIVELY SUFFERING because there aren’t nearly enough USEFUL PHYSICAL JOBS FOR MEN. Demobilize. Stop…

That’s not the purpose.
Pointed by Denyse as usual, this article discusses the problem with meta-analysis studies. It says that meta-analyses are designed to combat misinformation but too often do the opposite. No. A meta-analysis may happen to weed out bad studies, and may happen to emphasize bad studies. Either result is irrelevant. The PURPOSE of a meta-analysis is…

Today is Scouse Day!
Scouse Day is an annual festival in Liverpool. Wikipedia gives a complex list of dubious origins for the word. The one clear fact is that it was originally Lobscouse. My favorite British dictionary from 1867 says: Lobscouse, a dish made of potatoes and meat and biscuits boiled together. The dictionary doesn’t list scouse at all.…

Another monster dies
Another idiotic and murderous idea dies, thanks to the end of free counterfeit! Apple drops its “self-driving” weapon. THANKS, POWELL!

Logging the experiment
Along with internal worklogs, keeping a blog with tags is a valuable way of tracking the experiment of life. Just now I added the bitcoin tag to an item about Sammy, then looked at the bottom of the blog where BITCOIN is by far the largest tag. I don’t FEEL like I’m obsessed with bitcoin,…

Second vector
Via Protos, Sammy’s old mentor is being tried for fraud. This part of the story hasn’t been mentioned in the media before. = = = = = START PROTOS: Joe Lewis, the billionaire former Premier League football club owner who sold Sam Bankman-Fried more than $76 million worth of property in the Bahamas, is set…
