Reassuring, sort of
I guess it’s reassuring. Amid the invasion by celebrities turning Substack into MSNBC and increasing Andreessen’s share value, the native Substackers are still quibbling about Oxford commas and em-dashes. I stopped using em-dashes about 10 years ago, obviously not because it resembled ChatGPT. Simply because the usual way of doing it—like this—is confusing. Words are…

Papal elephant
Interesting to see all the blind men examining the new elephant. Analog fans like me are surprised and happy. Chicagoans are happy. Vax obsessers are not happy, accuse him of “vaccine boosterism”. Trads are cautious but hopeful. Catholic neocons are pissed. Earlier they were hoping for a “cold war pope” who would lead the new…

Foy Rebellion reprint
Linked in previous item about math pope, worth a reprint. = = = = = REPRINT FROM 2022: Yesterday I was discussing the cultural IMPERATIVE to re-employ ordinary men after WW2. France implemented a similar IMPERATIVE after it recovered from the 1789 revolution, which turned its demonic vision of “science” into a god of war…

Math pope
Prevost is a Villanova grad with a major in math. This could make him a somewhat more significant figure for nerd types. A math pope would prescribe csc as the cure for sin. When sin goes to zero, csc ascends to heaven. He would give absolution as the cure for negative feelings. An inner product…

Ice vs mercury
Carney continues handling the psychopath correctly. US Democrats could learn something if they were capable of learning, but they aren’t. Russia has been playing this game for centuries, handling first Napoleon then Wilson then Tojo then Hitler then every US president since 1945. Maintain your ground connection. Absorb the punches. Bend back and forth but…

Explains a lot
Turns out Substack is not a brave little rebel as the leaders want us to think. Like everything else in the tech realm it’s owned by one of the Effective Altruist devils. Marc Andreesen is one of the worst. This explains many things that didn’t make sense by the struggling young innovator myth. First it…

The value of flips
Elon’s sudden flip from fake environmentalist to fake Trump cultist seems to have awakened a few of his Gaian fans. When a cult leader joins the other side, the followers split three ways. Some will continue with the same ideology and generate new leaders. Some will follow the person no matter where he goes. And…

Why do juries get it right?
I’ve discussed this before, but it has a deeper connection after reading Sherry Olson’s account of medieval life. Juries are the LAST leftover of Natural Law in governing. In 1300 most governance was Natural Law. The Endarkenment hadn’t filled us with “self-evident” vicious lies about equality and rationality. Written laws were almost entirely local, along…

Trying a question, reprinted
Linked in previous about juries and Natural Law, worth a reprint since it explicitly refers to trials, and since I wrote it during the “virus” holocaust, at the same time when the Hildebrand fraudsters were breaking the balance that SBA was trying to restore. = = = = = START 2020 REPRINT: Self-calibration is necessary…

GOOD!
I finally located a report of the trial that I escaped from. Now I can write about it. The jury did the RIGHT THING and found these assholes GUILTY. The Hilderbrands, operating a set of dubious businesses in Spokane Valley, were found guilty on multiple fraud charges. They will be sentenced in July, up to…

Romans are weird.
Watching THRILLING LIVE COVERAGE of the Vatican World Series. The broadcast says it’s been streaming for two hours, and crowds are still streaming into the arena. There are several digital billboards facing the crowd, flashing various messages. I can’t read them but I suppose they’re ads for Aquafilioque 99.7% spiritually pure Holy Water and Vobisco…

The other Charles
I’ve never understood the appeal of spaceflight and ETs. Sciencey nerds are supposed to be fascinated by planets and stars and endless space. Nope. Give me creeks and houses and streets and people. I’d rather look about me, take hold of the things that are here, talk to them and let them talk to me.…

Emerson and blood money
Today I received the “generous” $54 check for my one day of jury shit. I immediately donated twice that amount to a crowdfund that might be attempting to help with the fentanyl problem. I did a similar double-first with Trump’s blood money during the “virus” holocaust. Emerson says you should pay undeserved money before you…

Speaking of swans, sort of
Just amusing myself during a hard store walk by making up some nonsense. There was a young farmer from Worcester, who had some fine hens and a rorcester. The rorcester got ill, and took some big pills, but the rorcester still needed a borcester. = = = = = Fine print: This limerick not valid…

The blackest swan
It’s interesting to watch Canada’s Conservatives right now. Trudeau blindsided them by doing the MOST UNEXPECTED THING IN THE WORLD. He started serving the nation. The Conservatives didn’t have a Plan B, which is completely understandable. A politician serving the people is the blackest of black swans, the most GENUINELY unexpected event of all. It’s…
