Still chewing on this….
I’ve been trying to untangle the two factions of opposition to the “virus” tyranny. I was never bothered much by vax. It’s the ONLY part of this monstrosity that belongs in real medicine and real public health, and the ONLY part that may actually work against a real virus if there is one. Taking one…

Familiar old tune
The tune was already familiar in 1912! Gasoline is going up to 12 cents a gallon! Inflation! Horrors! I’m really marveling at the clever graphics. Now we’d just mix a video to get this effect. In 1912 films were silent, and mixing technology hadn’t invaded phonograph records yet. (All mechanical, no electronics.) This artist and…

More techtonic motion
When ArsTechnica argues against Deepstate, the techtonic plates have definitely shifted. Normally ArsTechnica and Wired and TechCrunch are eager to defend ABSOLUTELY EVERY CRIME committed by CIA/NSA/Pentagon. Now Ars is showing healthy skepticism about the recent pro-UFO tack by Deepstate. I was generally impressed by the 1950’s disks and acorns. Those were NOT obvious artifacts,…

More air world
I’m tickled and astonished by the huge variety of air-driven devices around 1912. This one wasn’t replaced by electricity until 2010! = = = = = START QUOTE: The Chadwick Automatic Road Guide performs the functions of directing the motorist and furnishing information as to approaching road conditions automatically. This instrument consists of a dial…

Maybe he’s just dumb too.
Is Taibbi also dumb like Craig Wright? I doubt it. Taibbi is trying to expose internal propaganda, which he “believes” to be relatively new. = = = = = START QUOTE: Worse, messages from these institutions are parroted more or less automatically by our corporate press, which has decided that instead of a network of…

Usually puzzled
When I’m puzzled by motives, I generally assume there’s a hidden purpose, and assume that stupid-looking moves are distractions. With the moves of Craig Wright, I have to reach a simpler conclusion. He’s just dumb. He’s a suer. He enjoys suing. We already know from many angles and many stories that Wright doesn’t understand software…

Multilayer misdirection
Kirn and Taibbi have fun with a bizarre “sciency” article written by Brookings Inst. The article uses superfancy fake “vector” methods to analyze podcasts by Unpersons and finds “scientifically” that Unpersons are Unpersons. Which they already knew. I’m a bit more mathy than K and T, so I looked at the actual article to check…

Air world
In tracing the air starter and related devices, I found several cars that made broader use of the compressor, to inflate tires or push the fuel up into the engine. A dozen cars had air systems in 1912, and another dozen had acetylene starters. Most cars already had an acetylene tank for the lights, so…

Scent mirror
UD has some smart analysis of the ‘mirror test’ for self-awareness. Some researchers found that a fish was able to distinguish its own face from other similar fish faces in a picture. Good question: Researchers have also questioned whether the test is appropriate for species like dogs that rely more on scent, or like pigs…

Gaia is pleased
Part of a Driver’s Dream cartoon from Motor Age 1913: Meanwhile here in Spokane, the screechily Gaian city “government” is tearing down a pedestrian bridge over I-90 as part of its long-term mission to make life miserable for pedestrians. This is pleasing in the sight of Gaia, because it means more dead peasants. = =…

whorfles
Now we have more “Chinese” UFOs. After I obediently gave Deepstate the snap reaction it wanted, I turned up my input filters and baseline sensors. This is clearly a rather low-quality fake THREAT, and the repeat is designed to create a new fake threat CATEGORY. Deepstate treats an ordinary and frequent object as a UNIQUE…

Bikeshedding!
Parkinson would love this tweet from Spokane’s insane city “government”. Straight out of his book! = = = = = 3 key elements of the update are: 🚲differentiating between the short-term & long-term storage of bicycles; 🚲removing the relationship between vehicle parking requirements & bicycle parking requirements; 🚲providing best practice guidance for bicycle rack design…

Gumption reset
Lately I’ve been low on gumption despite good weather and no actual torture commands. I needed a sensory reset, and got it yesterday in an odd way. In yesterday’s store trip I saw several lunatics voluntarily wearing muzzles, which triggered PTSD. Do they know something? Is the torture about to resume? I checked local websites…

YAETT
Yet another ‘earlier than thought’, another invention that went to sleep for 50 years before it was officially “invented”. We think pushbutton shifting was developed by Chrysler and Packard in 1956, then spread to Mercury and Edsel and Rambler for a few years. Nope. Pushbutton shifting was developed in 1913. Center of steering wheel, repeated…
