Not taking the assumption
Speaking of the need to make things happen on the first day… Spokane’s new mayor Lisa Brown is doing just that. She fired the Fire Chief on the first day. The police chief quit somewhat earlier, getting out while the getting was good. I’m going to reserve judgment on these moves. Brown is a hard-left…

Rethinking the annotator
Looking for more gadgets to model, ran across a 1918 textbook on office procedures from LaSalle Correspondence School. It covers everything from machines to employee morale. = = = = = The section on pensions shows the influence of Social Economics. = = = = = START QUOTE: [In modern industrial situations,] what can we…

Watching a couple of baits
Still waiting for a new publication that delivers on its promise. Kirn promised an uncensored newspaper. I subscribed for $50 because I’m hungry for a REAL newspaper. Complete failure. It’s a long-winded Beat Generation literary magazine, similar to FrontPorchRepublic but more expensive. If it’s uncensored, it doesn’t show any signs of radical content. The “censored”…

In the groove, Japan style
New research from Japan via Eurekalert. As usual, the Japanese academic setup with fungible annual funding PER LAB gives more flexible and creative results than the US system of funding PER PROJECT APPROVED BY DEEPSTATE. We used to have a more Japanese style in our industrial labs like Bell, but they’re gone now, LBOd by…

The original sin
We have stupid arguments about whether the political actions against Trump are “politically motivated”. Of course politics is politically motivated. By fucking definition. The real problem is deeper than Trump. As fucking always, the British system worked properly and our NYC tax evaders ruined the correct method. Parliament decides on PMs in an honestly political…

Parkinson loop
SpokaneNews continues posting the ‘worst’ of the drug overdose cases. There are many overdoses each day, and the official requirements for response are making the problem worse. A couple of harsh comments illustrate how it works. = = = = = START COMMENT 1: I started listening to the scanner everyday when I have time.…

Good question, no good answers
Reddit asks a really good question! Why aren’t there any Native American restaurants? You’d expect such restaurants in Oklahoma where the Cherokee have been good at farming and business for a long time. Never saw one. There are plenty of typical native foods, but nobody has tried to feature them in a restaurant. Before looking…

It’s just efficiency
Prosecutors decided that Sammy doesn’t need a second trial. The Repoofs who didn’t get their share of his bribes are pissed and calling it Deepstate manipulation. Nah. It’s just the way courts work. Prosecutors have developed many tricks to circumvent the fake “requirements” of fake “laws” and fake “constitutions”. The second trial was an insurance…

Always the same
DailyMail tells us that a retired judge has investigated the Lindbergh “kidnapping” and found the horrible truth. Lindbergh, like many elites then and now, was a firm believer in Darwinian eugenics. His son was slightly “defective”, with a large head, so Lindbergh gave him to a surgeon who killed the kid and removed parts of…

Just stop the Gusano Rojo.
Rushfield at the Ankler hits yet another home run. = = = = = START QUOTE: For the past decade, Hollywood’s greatest product has been volumes of chatter about ourselves, our problems, our shortcomings. There are important points to be made and problems to be addressed to be sure, but ideally those conversations would happen…

Big tectonic shift
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Ethiopia joined the ranks of the BRICS group on Monday, January 1. Persia has been part of the Allied side for quite a while, in all but name. Making it official is a rubber stamp. Saudi is a huge move. Saudi was the reliable centerpiece of…

Smart idea
This Natl Assn of Mfrs film features a clever way of simultaneously training teachers and researchers. Arthur D Little Co performed various types of research for companies that couldn’t afford a fulltime lab. Little was arranging job swaps with schools. The trainees would alternate a semester teaching science then a semester working in Little’s labs.…

Weird injustice
With the Epstein list scheduled to emerge today, media are speculating on the contents. Most of the names are already known and some are apparently incidental, so as usual this “revelation” won’t reveal. Deepstate never reveals anything that isn’t already known. Media coverage of Epstein has always intentionally missed the purpose of his operation. Everyone…

Does the correlation work?
Here’s an interesting take on the Trump indictments by an economics prof writing at Compact. = = = = = START QUOTE: Observers have been surprised that the indictments themselves haven’t done more to dent his support. Put differently, why isn’t the lawfare against Trump working yet? Part of the answer might lie in this…

It’s all a short.
The “activists” who get money and clicks have been focusing exclusively on vax, which is NOT the major crime. Vax is a traditional part of public health, and vax mandates are also a traditional part of public health. Some shots have been required for school or jobs or travel for many decades. The “activists” are…
