Interesting!
This is INTERESTING from a Speech & Hearing viewpoint! RFK’s relatives are disowning him, which isn’t surprising. In this clip one of his sisters is interviewed, and she has EXACTLY THE SAME spasmodic dysphonia! Normally it’s acquired through stress or ‘unknown origin’, but this must be genetic. = = = = = The Rising hosts,…

Meaningful joke
Pretty good joke seen at Quora: Salons always have hair on the floor. Garages have oil on the floor. Carpenters have sawdust on the floor. Hey, banks! Get with the program! The joke helps us understand why money is different. Banks handle lots of bills and coins. Why isn’t there any rejected material? In fact…

Credit where due
Relentlessly pursuing the Fairness Doctrine! I had the annual Medicare Wellness Visit this week. It’s clear that Kaiser Permanente is trying to restore some of the trust they violently threw away in 2020, plus even a bit more. Long before the holocaust they had a ‘mandate’ that aggravated me. They wouldn’t let me renew the…

Hundreds of wells per month!
Shepstone continues to report the REALITY of the oil industry. Both political “sides” make the same idiotic noise about eliminating oil, and both political “parties” actually allow oil to continue booming. It’s a good reminder to pay NO ATTENTION to the noise and consider only the reality. = = = = = START QUOTE: U.S.…

Hello again, Full Circle
During the LONG hot weather I got twitchy and ‘snappy’, making premature decisions to cancel things. On July 27 I canceled the Full Circle food box service because I was wasting it. In hot weather I couldn’t spend much time in the kitchen and didn’t feel like eating much. Now I’m feeling the shortage of…

Reprint on political codes
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2022 REPRINT: Trying to track the latest in Elon vs Twitter, I noticed that Faker Trump is getting into the act with his usual random whiplash, countering Elon’s random whiplash. I’ve discussed this post-1990 style of random-sounding disorganized emissions from leaders and commentators.…

Political coding
SpokaneNews posts a city proposal to change something or other relating to transparency and fire dispatch. As a total outsider I couldn’t even grasp what the whole thing was about. Looks like garbled jargon. Several outsiders commented with reflexive partisan hatred. Several insiders with complete knowledge of the situation are against the proposal because the…

Cult vs noncult
Back in June I observed that Trump is a cult leader and Biden isn’t. When Biden was the figurehead, the Dem activists had nothing positive to gather their attention, so they focused exclusively on being ANTI-TRUMP cultists. Today the RFK cultists are swarming in Substack’s twitteroid Notes today. They talk about inspiration and crying tears…

Perfection
This podcast by Gallup is PERFECT. They’re discussing the sins and virtues of media, both traditional and social. They get EVERYTHING right. They grasp the vast sins of the media, and they grasp the needs and desires of real people. They don’t softpedal or downplay anything. They don’t pretend that media used to be better.…

Partial victory for art

He found that Stable Diffusion, Stability’s AI tool that can create hyperrealistic images in response to a…

Comparing with Romney
Right now the Repooflicans are wildly supporting the contradictory team of Trump and RFK, tossing 1950 insults at Harris. Compare with Romney vs Obama in 2012. Romney was hated for GOOD REASONS. He had spent his career destroying jobs and businesses. Romney spouted the old 50s era slogans, which were already obsolete. He had no…

Ditch Witch is still there
Noticed on this morning’s walk that the TDS fiber workers are using a Ditch Witch excavator. Ditch Witch used to be in Perry, a town of 10k near Enid. Are they still there? YES. The company became a branch of Toro in 2019 but still manufactures in Perry, with 1600 employees. Good sign. In former…

Old frenemy is back
Fluoride used to be the prime obsession of the OCD hypochondriacs. It disappeared for a while, pushed out by more fashionable fake problems like 5G and HAARP and Geoengineering and Nanoparticle Spike Proteins. Now it’s back! I see one screech in DailyMail and three in Substack. Welcome back to the OCD fold, old frenemy fluoride!…

Reprint on a lost opportunity
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. I was a more lively writer back then, before the holocaust used up my gumption. Note the mention of public “health”, which looks weird now that public “health” has morphed into public imprisonment and strangulation. I haven’t changed my attitude toward vax. I still know that vax is a…
