Yes, but who?
Interesting to watch Deepstate’s sudden rejection of Biden. Before this week he was the youngest and healthiest man in the world. Now he’s too old, and Kamala is also unwanted. Lots of people are noticing the flip, but I don’t see anyone speculating on the replacement. Rulers are never removed in order to allow a…

Substack getting haughty
Substack is getting more and more elitist, more unfriendly to uncelled peasants. Today this QR thing has started obscuring every page: The QR thing doesn’t have a close button. Clicking on it leads to the Download choice, which does have a close button; but trying to close the Download choice just cycles back to the…

Which way is the endorsement?
Rob Lowe’s latest little podcast discusses the increasing need for side-gigs as the entertainment industry fades into AI oblivion. An actor’s main asset is his face. (Or her tits, but Lowe didn’t say that.) When an actor wants to argue with a director, his main case is “It’s my face up there.” Lowe mentions a…

Sailer atypically misses
Sailer on India: = = = = = START SAILER: Narendra Modi is fooling around, Elon Musk-style, with the idea of changing the name of his country to “Bharat” as an anti-colonial gesture. And the California legislature has, after much acrimony among Hindus, sent a bill to governor Gavin Newsom’s desk outlawing the ancient Hindu…

TV was stupid from the start
Listening to a 1948 ‘Meet the Press’ show, which was simulcast on radio and early TV. The reporters were grilling George Gallup himself about the famously bad Dewey Wins polls. At that time radio and newspaper journalists were mostly competent, though CBS was already developing into Deepstate Central. Meet the Press was supervised by Spivak,…

Mach rock
In Machiavelli World, everything is divided. No thought is allowed to flow down the main riverbed. When a politician wants to chill “divisiveness”, he always wants to censor the other team and universalize his own team. The Fairness Doctrine censored the rock. It prohibited broadcasters from splitting everything into R and D.

Quake preview? Maybe
According to SpokaneNews we had a little quake an hour ago at 10:25. I was sitting quietly doing graphics, no music or air conditioner, so I “should” have heard or sensed it, but didn’t sense anything. It was out west of Fairchild, and people south of there in Cheney and Medical Lake reported strong sounds…

Greenwald asks the right question
Dissidents always get excited when a court “decides” in their favor. They naively think “laws” exist. Deepstate doesn’t use “laws”. Greenwald’s latest long feature on Rumble is an interview with Jenin Younes, a lawyer involved in the latest “victory”. Around 40 minutes, Glenn asks the important question. The “constitution” is perfectly clear, and a whole…

More positive signs
Wolf picks up another sign of returning economic normalcy. Corporations have stopped fighting Powell, stopped betting on a “pivot” back to lunacy. They’ve settled into a future of NORMAL interest rates, offering long-term bonds in the 6% range. This will open more channels for loose cash to move away from IPO and SPAC and Bitcoin…

I guess that explains it.
Frustrating. The DeSantis campaign finally sent a second email, still utterly generic. “My opponent’s failed liberal policies” is cut-and-paste political jargon. ChatGPT could do better. DeSantis STILL hasn’t mentioned his GIGANTIC REAL COURAGEOUS ACHIEVEMENT. Even the fucking Pence campaign has come out (cautiously) against lockdowns and ballgags, for Christ’s sweet sake. A hostile Floridian on…

Three rings
From Phonographic World in 1889, an article that rang several of my bells. 1. This may be the first letter from an Okie in any published journal. The eastern part of Okla was in the middle of the first Land Run at that moment, and the only Euros in the state were in missions and…

Are they also pissed?
Sammy’s continued antics are irrelevant but entertaining in a schadenfreudisch way. The whole bitcoin crime is only entertainment now that QE/ZIRP is done. JUDGE Kaplan has finally started being a JUDGE, so Sammy is finally getting a taste of what he deserves. His latest spoiled-brat routine is even spoileder than before. = = = =…

Metaburge
Ryan Burge ran into a twitterstorm when he posted graphs showing that church attendance is a function of status. People objected that their own experience didn’t match. Burge is trying to assert the data with rationality, but it’s a hopeless fight for the SAME REASON THAT THE GRAPHS SHOW. In the last 30 years ALL…

Skill-estate in the raw
Our conventional “history” of labor unions focuses on the violent conflicts and corruption, from Haymarket to Hoffa. As I read about the history of printing, one constant emerges. Guilds have been around for 500 years in highly skilled trades, from masons to printers to silversmiths. The original purpose of a guild was a bank for…
