Belt and suspenders
Rushfield hits the nail again in the middle of a general news column: = = = = = START RUSHFIELD: We’ve been living in an environment of very low-risk speculation thanks to a decade of low interest rates, also known as a speculative bubble. That affected entertainment as much as anything else, as people poured…

It’s not that simple
A young multimillionaire investor type argues that renting is better than buying. She implies that non-rich people should also be renting. Reality is more complicated. Many rich people have always lived in hotels because it’s an economically efficient way of having servants. Only a psychopath needs obsequious butlers and maids instantly waiting on his commands…

Why we hate “journalists”, part 1566834523466487987940896045
Headline from AP: Migrants are rattled and unsure as deportations begin under new rule halting asylum Hey assdevils! Why don’t you worry about the NON-IMMIGRANTS for just fucking once in the entire history of your utterly evil unprofession??!??!??! If you were concerned with the welfare of your READERS, the headline would simply reassure them that…

News doing its job
The SpokaneNews facebook page has been livelier than usual lately. Maybe they have a new employee or something. Tonight they published a notice with a nice moral note, which would NEVER be seen in “mainstream” “news”. Just a reminder! The police pursuit law changes back at 12:00am June 6th. No longer restrictions like before and…

Probably right
Seen on Substack: = = = = = START QUOTE: You won’t believe the interview I’m working on now. Here’s a taste, “There are no more insects left in Spain. I used to drive coaches for over a decade and had to stop every 100 miles to wash the windshield of all the bugs crushed…

Paging Duane Jones
I’m rereading Duane Jones’s book. In one chapter he describes a problem with innocently risque material: The Jones agency had produced a successful magazine ad for Heinz ketchup. A painting showed an elegant waitress holding a silver tray with a single bottle of Heinz, standing over a well-dressed businessman at lunch. The headline said: What…

Oddity about dream locations
I started life in Oklahoma, then spent much of the ’50s and ’60s in Manhattan. Spent the ’70s all over Oklahoma: Enid, Ponca, Norman, OKC, Shawnee, Stillwater. Early ’80s in the KC area, late ’80s at Penn State. Moved to Spokane in 1990, here ever since. My dreams were ALL located in Oklahoma until about…

Better explanation
Wandering through the toxic sludge of Wilson’s CPI led to a big AHA. Ten years ago I was genuinely shocked to find that we had invaded and occupied Siberia in 1918. We were working with the Japs, who later monetized their experience into an independent invasion in the 1930s. We were also working with the…

Was it the same in 1918?
The Newberry interview made me curious whether Deepstate was officially involved in art around the time when art turned to shit. I had already seen a lockstep uniformity of propaganda in tech journals and educational journals, but hadn’t been looking in art journals before. Didn’t have to search long! The Committee on Public Information was…

All Foy, no Pollocks now
Demi Pietchell interviews artist Michael Newberry. The headline mentions money laundering, but the discussion isn’t mainly about money laundering. It’s mainly about the Deepstate psyop of avant-garde art. The later history of the psyop is known, thanks to the Assange leaks of CIA documents. CIA sponsored and granted avant-garde visual shit and “progressive” jazz. The…

Henry’s Hudson
Vintage.es has some nice pix of Henry with his first 1896 car. The sequence runs from original 1896, with Henry looking dapper in his handlebar mustache, to the late anniversary occasions, with Henry not quite all there. I’ve been focusing on Hudson lately, so one thing stands out immediately in the details. Henry’s first car…

Speaking of geomagnetic confusion…
Speaking of confusion and vortexes…. I opened the door just now to see what the weather is doing. A dude in a pickup truck cruised by at a normal speed, casually sitting with elbow on the window, IN REVERSE. He didn’t seem to be backing into a driveway or aiming for a trailer, just heading…

Pits and spoons
Briggs is trying to bring real human experience back into science. In this piece he analyzes claims of telekinesis and speculates on quantum action. He doesn’t reach any conclusions. I think he may be starting from an unproductive angle. Our thinking on these subjects is narrowed down by our intuitive sense that force is a…

Unusual behavior
FinRegRag, a substack author group, makes the case that this week’s Supreme ruling on NRA is really about debanking. The court unanimously held that the NY bank regulator can’t force banks to steal money from NRA because the regulator doesn’t like NRA. This doesn’t exactly say that banks can’t steal money from a customer they…

Up to him
Meanwhile, some of the non-independent “journalists” are getting what they deserve at last. The upper management at WaPo has replaced the chief editor with an old-fashioned hardass who is trying to restore the BUSINESS. He told the young idiots: “Nobody is reading your stuff”. Readership has dropped by half. In response they launched a tweetfest…
