  • Bye, Prevost.

    He seemed to be on the side of Natural Law at first, but now he’s revealed his true Deepstate colors. Didn’t take long. Continuing the long Roman tradition, he’s working for the billionaires. Gaia is his god. I’m tempted to go a whole lot farther than just bye-bye, but I’m trying to stick to my…

  • Why people trust facebook groups

    Recent polls by Pew and others agree that most people in the western countries totally distrust the regular media. Most people rely on less formal sources like local facebook groups. Fine example yesterday. A serial arsonist was working HARD. He started six fires in one hour around 5AM, then went west of the river and…

  • Change one letter

    Headline: Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Prize. He’ll win. No doubt about it. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, then after the damage was done he started the prize to reward people who avoid dynamite. Since 1970 the prize has served Nobel’s commercial interests, not his pretended repentance. The prize goes to the biggest and best customer…

  • Sanity elsewhere doesn’t help here

    Via Shepstone, apparently the Dems in some states are listening to a bizarre radio signal from a distant galaxy. They’re attempting to please the incomprehensible alien species called “voters” instead of their required instant obedience to billionaires. Quoting from the orthodox Dem Politico: = = = = = START QUOTE: Stung by the party’s sweeping…

  • Speaking?

    Most old movies and TV shows have totally unrealistic phone behavior. Businesses don’t pick up the phone with the name of the business, they just say “Hello” or “Yeah?” The caller always does the ID. “Is this Acme Construction?” When shows try for realism, they use a method that may have been real in some…

  • Nulling the local balance

    This year I’m trying to null the balance, make more beauty and order, do things the right way whether recognized or not, trying to restore the activities that were bombed by the Bush-Trump monstrosity in 2020-22. One of those activities was yard care. I’ve been mowing regularly but not sprinkling or trimming things. A nearby…

  • Spoiled brats

    “Journalists” are worried about Google’s new chatbot. = = = = = START BRAT: The consequences for the internet as we know it will be profound. For news publishers, they have already been profound. Industry executives are quietly sounding the alarm about “Google Zero,” a term popularized by The Verge’s Nilay Patel to describe the…

    Via Gizmodo. Chegg, the company that offered a variety of online courses and homework cheats, rose to a fine Tech Tyrant peak of Holy Share Value during the Bush-Trump concentration camp. Investors are cheaters, so they love a cheating technology. Since then, the Tech Tyrants moved on to the superior cheating and stealing of AI,…

  • Static vs dynamic abundance

    Abundance is presently the subject of some heeeaaaavvvvvy discussions among the intellectuals. I don’t know what they mean by it and don’t really need to know. Pinheads dancing on angels. In reality, a feeling of abundance lets people relax, lets things remain abundant. When we feel a scarcity we rush to grab the last one,…

  • Who? How?

    Who benefits from ruining the police and prosecutors? Who benefits from rampant crime and homelessness, destroying the stability and security of civilization? Easy answer, because we know exactly who is doing it. George Soros. How does he benefit? That’s more of a mystery. When he destroyed other countries in the 80s and 90s, he gained…

  • Only looks like magic

    Seen in a meme: People who speak two languages have a special magic. Bilingualism looks magic to those of us who have been raised in a prescriptive system with only one way of doing things. Most people in most countries in most time periods naturally speak two or three languages, function in two or three…

  • Big things don’t hit the news.

    Reading some railroad-related items on Quora. Three years ago, a Canadian insider mentioned that Canadian Pacific was about ready to buy Kansas City Southern, forming the first complete north-south railroad across all of the continent. Sure enough, the merger was completed in 2023 and fully running this year. This is BIG news for both countries…

  • Speaking of scammers….

    Speaking of scammers and reputations: Yesterday Canadian authorities caught a major swindler named Gareth West. He posed as an Andrew Tate style extreme sportsman and bodybuilder. He pretended to get rich from flipping properties and made videos showing people how to flip. He did buy lots of real estate but didn’t flip it. He lived…

  • How to beat a lottery

    NewScientist has an interesting bit of mathy history about beating a lottery. It takes a lot of work and usually some inside help to buy all the tickets and guarantee a win. Success also needs careless design of the lottery itself. The article lists three times when gangs succeeded, at least partly. The first was…

  • More Foy Rebellion

    Another small indication of the Foy Rebellion, the return to analog. During the Bush-Trump “virus” holocaust, young folks lost their connection to life for an irreplaceable two years. They turned to digital media like dating apps, but eventually found that digital can’t replace face to face. Now they’re returning to clubs and real dates, and…
