  • What we lost part 99999999

    Demons and Cadillacs don’t have a reverse gear. Demons only back up under external force, jumpy and tectonic in nature, like shoving a Cadillac backwards with a bulldozer. It’s worth noticing when demons are forced to skid backwards. A couple days ago Canada’s parliament gave a standing ovation to a 98-year-old ACTUAL LITERAL NAZI, a…

  • Metagoebbels

    For some reason I started thinking about the standard Goebbels Big Lie lie. As I’ve often repeated, repetition is NOT the key to enforcing belief in an obvious lie. Repetition is necessary to learn ANY fact or statement or skill, whether true or false, evil or neutral. That’s just how learning works. Creating belief in…

  • Doing what GUILDS are meant to do

    The Writers Guild has published their new contract. The section on AI is exemplary. = = = = = START QUOTE: AI can’t write or rewrite literary material, and AI-generated material will not be considered source material under the MBA, meaning that AI-generated material can’t be used to undermine a writer’s credit or separated rights.…

  • Makes sense

    Sammy’s trial will begin next week. Bloomberg’s pregame analysis says that a jury will be easy enough to select. Makes sense. The bitcoin fraud seems HUGE to a techie type like me, but it never involved a large part of the population and didn’t gather much mainstream media coverage until last year. Sammy’s fraud was…

  • British system WORKS part 84859734589

    Continuing from here… Sunak is backing away from Boris’s murderous Gaian goals, which were the direct predecessor to Boris’s murderous “virus” goals. Why is he backing away? BECAUSE HE WANTS VOTES. What a radical and revolutionary idea. Allow the people to have a voice in their government!!! Unprecedented and historic!!! Who could have imagined such…

  • Two positives

    Hadn’t looked at StraightArrowNews in a long time. Today they have a couple of truly positive items. One is speculative, the other definite. A huge lithium area has been found by geologists along the boundary of Oregon and Nevada. If it proves out, it would be half of all the world’s lithium deposits combined. Will…

    Yasuko has produced a huge number of tutorials using acupressure and similar methods to improve mood and health. This one turned out to be surprisingly effective: Is C-Tactile proper science? Yes. Exactly. = = = = = START QUOTE: The human equivalent to the C-LTMRs are called C-tactile afferents. The C-tactile afferents, which exist exclusively…

  • Bachelor stoves

    Ran across this while reading up on the Pratt typewriter. This is described as a bachelor’s stove. It was supposedly invented by James Watt himself. One specimen was donated to a museum by a Watt descendant in 1863. The relative claimed this was the same teapot Watt was using when he was inspired to make…

  • Two matching words tell the story

    BreakingPoints reviews a Pew poll on the state of American disgust. Pew’s own page has one graph that tells the whole fucking story. 65% of Americans are EXHAUSTED by the whole pile of ratshit. 4% of Americans are EXCITED by the pile. The 4% are instantly identifiable. Psychopaths are about 5% of the population. Psychopaths…

  • The constant

    Still thinking about the two-sided failure of marketing this year. The constant on both sides is the culture war. Bud lost its main audience when it focused on culture from the tranny “left”. Repooflicans lost their working-class audience when they focused on culture from the effete elegant Buckleyan “right”, which is precisely identical to the…

    Most recent marketing failures are completely unnecessary as well as incurably stupid. Bud Light DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM, so it didn’t need to change anything. Bud was the solid number one in most age categories. It spoiled the best audience with its indescribably idiotic tranny crap. Cracker Barrel restaurants have a real problem. Their…

  • Hammering an old point

    The argument about common carriers vs Youtube, Twitter, etc is fake. Supposedly we need to treat Youtube etc as more like common carriers in order to insure “free” speech. Supposedly new tech has blurred the line between publisher and carrier. Nonsense. The line is still perfectly sharp and clear. 1. There has never been free…

  • Four things I couldn’t have guessed

    Just for my own purposes, collecting four important things that I learned from others in recent years. Most of my learning comes from painful experience. I couldn’t have figured out these four facts on my own, and I’m grateful to the people who revealed them. 1. Manweller’s Rule. Elections only count when they don’t count.…

    Yet another example of what we lost when the NYC tax evaders broke out of the FUNCTIONING British system in 1776. = = = = = START QUOTE: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough admitted last week that he and his wife, co-host Mika Brzezinski, often talk with democrats and other politicos — and “every discussion” about Biden…
