Real reporting
Greenwald is probably the closest thing to objective in today’s media. He’s clearly on Trump’s side now but can’t stop being fair-minded. His piece on last night’s debate started with a wandering tour of the venue by his reporter Michael Tracy, who did some REAL journalism. He showed us what was happening among the media…

I shouldn’t complain.
In this clip, Greenwald’s reporter Michael Tracy discusses Putin’s cautious support for Harris over Trump. Russians are REALISTS, and Putin has realistic reasons for disliking Trump. Trump added far more sanctions against Russia, while Biden hasn’t added more. Trump is perfectly unreliable, breaking every promise. Despite this, our idiotic campaign against Russia for aiding Trump…

Blurs the line
I ordered stamps from the post office online, and sort of accidentally** turned on the USPS Informer, a daily email telling you what’s incoming today. It’s surprisingly detailed, with pictures and text descriptions of each envelope. Today it showed 4 pieces of spam from the Trump cult and one utility bill, pretty much the usual…

Political dream
Significant dream this morning. This summer I’ve been constantly short on sleep, so dreams were missing. As usual after a gap the dream was discharging complex details of architecture and people. I was assigned by my usual Alpha+ superiors to go into a downtown store and buy Kildare Shoe Polish. The Alpha+ people were helping…

Better prescription
Ramesh Thakur at Brownstone correctly diagnoses the current Machiavellian monstrosity in US/UK/EU. His proposed solution is wrong. = = = = = START DIAGNOSIS: A perfect storm of crises has been building. It comes from still bubbling rage with governments for their single-minded obsession with Covid and the lasting damage caused by lockdowns, masks, and…

Good news on nukes
Shepstone lists some HIGHLY encouraging developments on the nuke front. 1. A reactor in Michigan is being reactivated. 2. The Biden admin is subsidizing new and reactivated nukes. Trump didn’t. 3. Nearly all of the 94 operating reactors have extended their official licenses for 60 more years. 4. Two new reactors on an existing site…

Makes sense
I’ve never used a cellphone so I don’t know anything about the experience. It’s not quite the same as regular web. Biles at MindMatters is discussing the increasing bans on cellphones in schools. He points to an aspect of iPhone-based life, especially for youngsters, that I didn’t realize: = = = = = START QUOTE:…

More weather bureau poetry
Latest poem from the Weather Bureau, echoing MANY local sentiments. Soft comes the night, hoping the weeping willow smiles. Do you call this a cruel summer? Fill in the blank space. In another fortnight, heat will be a memory. I want lavender haze of such evenings; but I shake it off. As I’m the anti-hero,…

This is a philosophy????
A brand new REVOLUTIONARY radical way of parenting tries to let kids get out of the house and try things for themselves. This is known as the “Let Grow Philosophy”. It gradually pulls anxious kids out of their anxious shells. Just 30 years ago, calling normal life a “philosophy” would have been unimaginable. I’ve always…

Funniest joke I’ve seen in ages
Since I’ve been immersed in old car sales training films, here’s a car salesman joke from Reddit. Customer: Cargo space? Salesman: Car no do that. Car no fly.

Google knew the correct answer
Somebody in a Catholic forum was saying that Reason helps us to defend against emotions or fashions. Nope, it’s backwards. When I’m trying out various theories or explanations for a health problem or a programming problem, the “rational” mind instantly and easily develops a chain of “logic” that explains how this theory works for the…

Taibbi still a fucking idiot
Jesus, what a naive fool. If law enforcement was still agreeing to seek warrants before spying, we wouldn’t have this controversy. Durov was specifically arrested for creating an obstacle to warrantless surveillance. Warrants were ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS meaningless rubberstamps for ALL ALL ALL police. Police do their real searching BEFORE getting the warrant. NSA…

More relief
This gives me another reason to favor Harris. Above all I want to keep both Trump and Newsom as far from the presidency as possible. Many governors were following Trump’s lead in imprisoning and torturing their people, but Newsom was the head of the pack. He had a serious passion for ruining lives, expressed in…

‘Flipflop’ is the stupidest insult
Terminally tired of ‘flipflop’. Anywhere else but politics, changing your mind is a sign of LEARNING. Fuck around and find out is the definition of LIFE. Learning is EXACTLY seeing that one course of action fails, and trying a different course. Science is EXACTLY experimentation. Try something, measure results carefully, do something different if the…
