Wanna revolution?
Let’s say the “courts” decide Trump is ineligible because he didn’t officially halt a four hour trivial protest in one building, but the “courts” have no problem with Trump for ORDERING AND IMPLEMENTING THE BIGGEST CRIME IN HUMAN HISTORY, IMPRISONING AND STRANGLING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR TWO YEARS. If the “voters” give him a majority…

The usual AI point-missing
A new startup is promising to restore trust in media and politics by providing a ‘chain of evidence’ for ads or political messages. = = = = = START QUOTE: “If you don’t actually have transparency and a level of authenticity on the images and videos you’re seeing, you could be easily misled without knowing…

Demons live to 100
This is the year when lots of centenarian demons finally stopped slaughtering. Today: = = = = = START QUOTE: Jacques Delors, a pivotal figure in the European Union’s history and former President of the European Commission, has passed away at the age of 98.

Speedrunning Newark
At Curbside Classic, Stephen Pellegrino posted a series of street pix from his home area in New Jersey. Each pair was Then/Now. Then was 1970s. Now was the closest he could get to the original on Google Streets. Jersey in the 70s was declining badly. Now only the streets and infrastructure remain, and the streets…

Galling headline
Headline in Bezos paper: America has a life expectancy crisis. But it’s not a political priority. Yes it is, but not the way you pretend to mean. Our rulers want us to die soon, and they’ve been working diligently and furiously on all possible fronts since 1946 to make it happen. If you want IMPROVING…

Growing and shrinking /r/
BBC has an article on dialect change. Final /r/, which has been absent from The King’s English for many centuries, persisted in isolated areas. Now it’s disappearing in the isolated areas as well. = = = = = START QUOTE: Accent change is often like a puddle: it dries up in most places and leaves…

The basic question
Now ordinary people are free to say that the “virus” panic was a fraud. I’m sure many of them recognized it all along, but kept quiet to survive. Silence is rational when noise is useless. Even the executives who participated in the torture are backing away slowly, blaming and framing others as usual. Our executives…

Illiterate as usual
Pointlessly browsing through the increasingly Twitterized landscape of Substack, ran across an article by Douglas Rushkoff discussing the REAL media analyzers, Jerry Mander and Neal Postman. Rushkoff was interviewing a fellow Media Literacy prof about how they train people to look critically at media. I had to subscribe to get the podcast, so I paid…

Why does Toyota have quality?
Since I’ve been discussing Toyota vs GM, today’s news is appropriate. Toyota bought Daihatsu some time ago. Daihatsu is their low-end brand, mainly for domestic sales. Recently the Japanese government caught Daihatsu cheating on emission tests. What would GM do? GM would lobby the government to change the standards, and would probably succeed. What did…

A lawsuit that might matter
The NYTimes is suing Microsoft and OpenAI for stealing its work. Unlike some other suits, this one might get traction. Judges religiously believe and infinitely value everything spewed by NYTimes, so they will be inclined to support the suit. = = = = = Later, Jonathan Bartlett at MindMatters has a different take on this…

So far no fakery
RFK sounds like a populist. He even agrees with FDR in many ways. I was suspicious of him from the start because he was using the massive crime of the “virus” holocaust to push environmentalism. He was steering the activists away from the real crime of the lockdowns and muzzles and panic, toward the OCD…

The Tocqueville shared lie
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START REPRINT: Listening to a second-string Repooflican radio talker. He’s running the same old tape about The Forty-Seven Percent, the same old line about Voting Largesse From The Public Treasury. He’s saying that Obama is guaranteeing perpetual D majorities by offering lots of free…

Another shared lie
In 1948 a Chevy sales film mentioned Volkswagen as an icon of Hitler. Twenty years later the actual car was the enemy in this 1973 film aimed at GM factory workers. It cites the losses in various other industries. Textiles were mostly gone. Home radios and TVs were all gone. 20% of autos were foreign.…

Da yoots has got it right.
The Progressive Policy Institute (Will Marshall’s outfit) surveyed young working class folks. If the poll is valid, it shows a remarkably accurate understanding, despite all the toxins spewed by R and D media for decades. These people want Democrats to be like FDR and want Repooflicans to be like Ike. A couple of specific questions:…

The Dems have been removing Trump from ballots. Now the Texas lieutenant governor is playing footsie by asking to remove Biden from ballots. DO BOTH!!!!! Ideal solution! Then the dozen COMPETENT candidates could have a real election.
