Weather humor
The local Weather Bureau has finally figured out that you don’t gain trust by constantly screeching imprecatory prayers to Gaia and her Prophetess Greta. Cuteness works better. This is cute and educational at the same time. Science should be entertainment, not torture.

Bureaucratic genes and epigenes
I read and understood Parkinson 50 years ago, and haven’t yet seen any contrary evidence. In fact the real situation is vastly worse now than when he was writing. My usual question is: Given that criminal agencies and organizations CAN’T AND WON’T be deleted, how do we set up competing forces? My usual answer is […]

Be careful what you wish for
When RFK jr started organizing around the vaccines, I was instantly suspicious. As I repeated endlessly, vax is a proper part of public health, while strangulation and imprisonment are proper parts of war and crime and mass murder. When you see a Good Part / Bad Part separation, it means the Bad Part is going […]

Before Bloomberg
Before Bloomberg LBO’d all cities into brainless rubble, city governments were a hub of mechanical invention and innovation. Power plants and streetcar lines were municipal. City street departments had clever mechanics who were free to build devices that served their customers. Local example: Back in the ’60s, Spokane’s street department invented a hydraulic gate that […]

Sanity returns to influencers
During QE, all influencers were “investing” in stupid IPOs and fantastically brainless bitcoin. Now that Powell has stopped the counterfeit, some rich athletes are returning to real capitalism. A brokerage is buying farmland for the influencers and renting it out to farmers. Sharia would approve, and real economics also approves. Unlike Gates and other Gaian […]

Coalism works both ends
Delicious. In advanced countries like Krautland, coalism (sometimes called “environmentalism”) has vastly increased the demand for coal by wiping out all other reliable sources. No nuclear, no diesel, no hydro, no natural gas. Only coal. The highly enlightened Kraut government is fulfilling coalist requirements by expanding a lignite mine. Less enlightened countries abandoned lignite a […]

What is a reporter for?
Matt Taibbi is following all the bad rules of “journalism”, which are the same as the rules of Deepstate. Protect sources above all. Never reveal anything that your source doesn’t want to reveal. Well then, what the fuck is your PURPOSE? You’re not reporting, you’re just an unpaid (or maybe paid) part of Deepstate. You’re […]

Another victory for coal
This demonic move wasn’t well publicized. I hadn’t read about it until today. The demon states are already banning natural gas appliances in new construction, and the feds are getting ready to do the same. They’re using an insane tiny pseudo-“correlation” with asthma, based on one small “study”, to “justify” the ban. THESE ARE THE […]

Just a replacement
Looking around again to see if religious media are noticing that the Pope died. GetReligion, a website about religion in journalism, hasn’t noticed it yet, but does have another interesting piece on Ryan Burge’s survey data. Conventional wisdom tells us that religion is fading; more and more people are becoming officially atheist or agnostic. Burge […]

EVs returning to sanity?
EV hype began well before the free money era of QE. It came along with the coal movement (usually called the “environmental” movement for some reason.) Coalists have been pushing EVs since the ’70s. The EV hype didn’t really take off until Elon masculinized the EV, first with outright Lambo-type sports cars, then with fast […]

Two cheers for nuclear!
Yahoo Financial interviewed the head of Constellation Energy, which owns several existing nuclear power plants. He is optimistic about the future of nukes, since the omnibus “Inflation” “Reduction” “Act” includes a new tax credit to level the economic playing field for nukes vs fake “renewable” sources. He also (finally) sees some real action in the […]

Three cheers for coal!
Following on Coal vs Ice: Coal is coming back, and New Nazi Torturist magazine hates it. The UK is set to get its first new deep coal mine in three decades after the government approved plans for a project in Cumbria, despite widespread opposition on environmental grounds. The Woodhouse Colliery in Whitehaven will produce about […]

Worst of all anechoics
Continuing to debunk the “echo chamber” myth. Social media is the exact opposite. Lately I’ve been trying to read items in Medium, brought there by Avi Loeb’s great crowdfunded UFO project. Medium’s algorithm is the most aggressive anechoic I’ve seen. It offers you a chance to Mute an author you don’t like. Allegedly you will […]

Appreciation to apprehension
Enid is looking forward to the arrival of a supertall Xmas tree to kick off their annual lighting competition. The lighting has been going on since the 80s. When I visited Enid in those years, I often toured the well-organized neighborhood displays. When I lived there in the 70s, I might have appreciated the ‘tallest […]

Wilt or Rubett!
Janelle at AIWeirdness ordered up a batch of Halloween candy customized for each state from the AI engine. Some of the sources appear to have picked up other food from the state. Connecticut got Craney Chowder. Kansas got Farte Cats, perhaps from online references to methane from cattle feedlots? Most simply jumbled up the name […]
