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…

Doubling the insult
While writing previous item, I was trying to determine that the Heinz soup thrown by the protesters was actually made in England, so I wouldn’t be accidentally ruining my point. Heinz’s own website, full of ESG legalism, doesn’t answer the question, but incidental Google mentions made it clear that Heinz does produce soup in England.…

Punching backwards
The idiot protesters tossing soup on Van Gogh are an easy slapdown in a hundred ways. They’re wearing hair products and clothes made from oil, built in China in factories that don’t bother with any of our pollution laws. The products were shipped from China on ships burning bunker oil, the dirtiest of all fuels.…

Another faker down
I’ve been following Straight Arrow News since June. They made an impressive start, claiming to enforce the Fairness Doctrine. They featured a ‘Bias Meter’ gadget and invited readers to use it as a poll on articles. Today they finished converging to the norm, as usual. This article on “climate” is written strictly and totally from…

Why sane people avoid IOT
This is why sane people avoid ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘smart’ appliances. Thousands of Colorado residents were locked out of adjusting their thermostats on a 90 degree summer day. The thermostats read “energy emergency” and customers had no way of moving the temperature down. Energy company Xcel had placed a temporary lock on some smart…

2014 prophecy
In previous item about two big walkbacks of “scientific” errors, I asked why these two errors were so easy to fund and so hard to find. The answer is obvious: When a problem is “caused” by chemistry, it can be “solved” by pharmaceuticals. I remembered writing several pieces about the 1920s ascent of the pill-pushers,…

Mao in action
From Canada: It’s official. Trudeau’s meeting with provincial agriculture ministers wrapped up yesterday. He is moving forward with a 30% fertilizer reduction. Farms will fail, land will he purchased by billionaires/the government, and people will starve. Farmers are rising up today. = = = = = This is pure explicit genocide, pure Mao, pure Pol…

Getting into the act
I’ve been reading Ruth Moore’s wonderful book about fossils and fossil-gatherers. Today the weather decided to participate in my reading. Weathermen like to talk about historic storms… here’s a prehistoric storm. Despite the scary appearance, it didn’t DO much. No actual rain or lightning, just a nice cool breeze.
