    The RFK followers do the exact opposite of ‘make healthy’. They focus ever more intensely on every conceivable disease process. Every molecule and atom makes you unhealthy. One atom of anything is enough to kill you. They are making themselves sick. Exactly the same sin committed by the Trump/Fauci monstrosity in 2020. I understand this…

  • Postal inspectors score again!

    In yesterday’s random item I repetitively mentioned the obviously fraudulent nature of the Gaian cult. It serves the billionaires and nobody else. Here’s a WOW moment. The Postal Inspection Service has caught one of the biggest fraudsters EVER. Joe Sanberg, leading Dem activist, headed a “green investment” firm that claimed to be planting trees in…

  • Couple of meanders

    Meander 1. An article at Curbside Classic pictured the S&H Green Stamp dispenser that used to be common in gas stations and grocery stores. The clerk dialed up the quantity of stamps justified by your purchase, and a string of stamps emerged. Why didn’t thieves just dial up some dollars? Easy answer. Pro criminals need…

  • Good context on a big fraud

    This excellent Canadian documentary on the Maria Duval “psychic” fraud starts with a much broader context and an important statistic I didn’t know. Mail-order business started in the 1880s with Sears and Wards. We naturally assume it peaked before the suburban era when everyone had cars. Other parallel practices like grocery and laundry delivery peaked…

  • Reprint from 2021

    After a long dry spell, somebody is reading through this blog with a purpose. The pattern of one read per source seems bot-like but the pieces have a theme, so it’s ambiguous. Bots usually pick my most meaningless clickbaity items. This reminds me of the Las Vegas reader who ran through the best stuff in…

    When Demon Elon was running his scorched-earth blitz, destroying everything good in government and strengthening everything bad, I did some careful reading and bashed him for misunderstanding two of the best parts. I pointed out that Social Security gets only 1% of its money from government subsidies. The rest comes through tax channels, but doesn’t…

  • Set point?

    I won’t doubt modern medicine again! Personal experience is the only teacher. Last week, after stupidly DIY diagnosing the problem as psoriasis, I finally got in to see the real human doctor. (A rare GOOD doctor who listens and understands the whole patient, so he’s worth waiting for.) He knew immediately it isn’t psoriasis because…

  • Thresholds

    It’s suddenly fashionable to say that AI now makes all truth impossible. ABSOLUTE RAW STINKING BULLSHIT. Visual “news” has ALWAYS been fake because “NEWS” HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAKE. The whole purpose of adding photos and engravings to “news” was to make fakery more credible. The first movie newsreel by Pathe in 1895 was faked in…

  • Worth saying again

    I’ve said this before, but it seems appropriate again now. Back in hippie times we used to think that the world would be all peace and justice, man, if the leaders would just get high on LSD and mushrooms. Now they’re high as a kite all the time on LSD and mushrooms, and they’re VASTLY…

    We should be giving just as much respect to the regular postman as we do to police and fire. Obviously he doesn’t face life-or-death danger all the time, but he serves EVERYONE in a different way. The regular carrier on a route KNOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. He knows most people by name…

  • Repeated pattern

    The latest Post Office podcast tells how the postal investigators solved an allergy testing fraud. Fits nicely into my current situation, trying to fix a bad allergic response! The case began when an alert postman in Hyde Park noticed fishy activities in a commercial mailbox service there. He saw their employees opening lots of letters…

Yes, I’m pissed. All of these supposed writers are bitching about AI replacing them, while they’re nowhere near AI speed. They can be replaced by a…

  • Even Spokane is learning?

    For a long time I’ve been vainly hoping that the idiot Dems would start DOING SOMETHING FOR THE PEOPLE instead of screeching incoherent nonsense about “democracy” and “fascism”, two purely imaginary fake concepts. Now even the perpetually incompetent and nasty “city” “government” of Spokane is starting to figure it out. They’re pouring 7 million into…

  • AI means Artificial Imagination

    It’s not Intelligence. Big data has been Intelligent (in the logical sense) for 70 years and gets smarter every day. The LLMs have proven to do a poor job at Intelligence, which makes the rationalists feel superior. Wrong measurement! LLMs are excellent at imagining. Most of what they do is dreamlike, NOT intelligent. Perfect example…

    Been using and enjoying the fresh food from Full Circle for two years. Some items are just the food itself, others are wrapped and labeled. The labels are always in English and French. Organic Cauliflower / Chou-fleur biologique Organic and biologic are equally silly. All food except salt** is organic, and biology is the study…
