70 years in reverse
Here’s a much more serious early adopter from the same 1954 REA news. = = = = = START QUOTE: The Chairman, General Manager, and staff members of the Atomic Energy Commission met recently with the Administrator and staff members of the Rural Electrification Administration, the Administrator’s policy advisory committee and the committee on atomic…

Metrology lesson
The Pew Center has some graphs on the decline of newspapers. They broke a basic rule of metrology. Always put measurements into context. Know the baseline and measure in proportion to the baseline. Pew’s graph of newspaper total circulation (brown line) seems to show that newspapers were starting to lose in 1990, when digital media…

Useful timeline and landmark
Denyse points to this article about peer review. It’s headlined as a call for transformation, but it starts from a fake premise. The authors are puzzled that peer review doesn’t do what it was “supposed to do”. They do show a beautifully exponential timeline of the tenure fraud, and they bring out an important landmark…

50th anniversary
Today is the 50th anniversary of the Enid flood. If the weather had waited two more years to pull such a crime, it could have shifted the blame to global warming. Unfortunately the Innovative Disruptive Gaian theology hadn’t been invented yet, so primitive dumb savages blamed the weather itself.

Writers aren’t auto workers
The Ankler writes about the aftermath of the writers strike: = = = = = START QUOTE: Downstream financial harm to adjacent businesses generates social and political pressures that further enhance that negotiating leverage — as long as striking workers can capture the hearts and minds of those affected third parties, and of the public…

Return to Trinity House
MindMatters is pointing to the latest Carbon Craziness from a major “science” journal. Not new. This is the permanent norm in academia. Science is Dillinger. Science goes where the money is. The major magazines have been screeching about Carbon for 15 years, interrupted only by their louder and more genocidal screeching about “virus”. Pointing won’t…

Statusometer
Curbside Classic features a 1969 Motor Trend article comparing the three luxury brands. As always, MT tested everything from braking to G-force to suspension characteristics. They concluded that Lincoln was the best by car guy standards, but they also recognized that luxury buyers aren’t car guys. So they found a way to test STATUS, which…

There will always be an England
CODE RED CLIMATE BURNING EMERGENCY! headline in Daily Express: UK hot weather: Indian Summer brings 22C heat as new map shows when it will blast Britain 22C is 72 FUCKING DEGREES in real numbers. That’s not HEAT, that’s goddamn ROOM TEMPERATURE. That’s the ideal goal of air conditioning in actual hot weather. You’re getting “blasted”…

The turnaround man
RFK has his own Substack now, and he’s using it enthusiastically. He met with Oliver Anthony, the working-class singer. RFK empathized lyrically and accurately with the plight of working MEN. And then he turned the solution toward Organic Non-GMO farming. We envision regenerative agriculture and greenhouses where residents will grow wholesome organic food, learn skills,…

One promising note
The philosophers and Intelligent Design folks are still handling the wrong end of the AI question, trying to knock its competence and credibility and HumanPersonNess. Those qualities are IRRELEVANT to the Tech Tyrants who are mobilizing and implementing AI. The Hollywood strikers, who were formerly on the wrong side of nearly all questions, are hitting…

What you mean ‘we’, greenface?
Via DailyMail: The Gaian loonies blocked a highway to protest Burning Man, apparently because Global Burning is the official name for their genocide now, and they must protect their trademark from infringement. = = = = = START QUOTE: But rangers from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department of Nevada plowed straight through the…

RAIN!
This rain is especially welcome since it frustrates the ARSONISTS who have been starting hugely destructive fires around here. Not all the fires are arson, but at least three arsonists have been seen, and two have been arrested. Of course the Sorosian monster prosecutor releases all criminals instantly, but at least the cops will know…

Sounds like FDR
RFK has started writing on Substack. It appears that he signed up back in April with an atrocious Earth Day piece, but didn’t write much after that. Now he’s finally settling into real problems and real solutions, in the same way that the actors union is talking about real life for real people. This piece…

What happened? China.
As I’m expanding my daily walks to include some blocks I haven’t seen in several years, and some I never walked before, I’m noticing one systematic change. 10 years ago many houses in the neighborhood had wall-mounted air conditioners. This was a bit of a fad in the ’50s, and it was necessary on the…

Two maps
Unz has mostly descended into tiresome eugenics and outdated racial stereotypes. It still manages to include a smart piece once in a while. Mike Whitney makes a highly unorthodox and thus true point about China, using just one pair of maps. = = = = = START QUOTE: You see the development of a high-speed…
