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
Via HollywoodReporter, artists win a partial victory against the AI megathieves. = = = = = START QUOTE: U.S. District Judge William Orrick on Monday advanced all copyright infringement and trademark claims in a pivotal win for artists. 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…

Still mostly valid
I’m totally disgusted but not surprised at the “anti-virus” activists who are now solidly inside the Trump cult. It’s not news that activist leaders are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS working for money and power and greed. BUT: Exerting power in the correct direction is possible. Here’s a piece I wrote in July 2020, at the heart…

One auto trivium
GM cars usually had two keys, one for ignition and doors, and the other for trunk and glovebox. I drove lots of Chevys and always wondered about the inconvenient distinction. One of those auto dealer training films explained the reason. In cities where every parking lot had attendants or valets, you could leave the ignition/door…

Interesting detection
Last night I finally got around to switching the computer over to the new CenturyLink fiber connection, which I had installed for the phone 8 months ago. The changeover was easy, plug-n-play. As soon as the computer’s Ethernet was plugged into the CenturyLink box, the computer instantly started using it. Should have done it a…

Not converted
Alone among the big-name “virus” influencers, Brownstone Institute has NOT converted to the Trump cult. This article by Ann Bauer on the tyranny of Walz makes the point sharply, sticking to REALITY instead of cult love. Walz jumped into the monstrosity on March 15, along with the other demons. He treated the rioters in the…

Latest from Craig Wright
This dude is giving us a full textbook on the Personality Of The Professional Criminal. He exhibits all of the characteristics in expanded and methed-up form. Overconfidence is one of the qualities. Wright is completely confident that he is the Most Moral And Honest Angel In The Universe, entitled to give losers lessons in ethics…

Typical, not exceptional
One commentator observed that unlike most other top politicians Biden never had a fanbase. He was NOT a crowd-pleaser. He dealt solely with other politicians and donors. At first I agreed with the implication that Biden is unusual. Second thought: No, Biden is typical. Politicians with cults or fanbases rarely make it to the presidency.…

One for the ages
Washington’s farewell address: Make no entangling alliances! Eisenhower’s farewell address: Beware the military-industrial complex! Biden’s farewell address: KU KUX KAN DIDN’T WEAR THEIR HOODS! WOMEN ARE NOT WITHOUT ELECTRICAL!
