50 year unsync
In 1958, TV Radio Life magazine interviewed Martin Klein, who hosted a weekly science program on LA television station KCOP, listed as ‘independent’. It’s still there, still on channel 13 with the same call letters. They asked Klein to predict 50 years into the future. How would we live in 2008? Klein worked for Cohu…

Could have been a good idea
Via RealClear: The Methodists are trying a new way to maintain a central managing body while allowing more modularity. Instead of a universal orthodoxy, regions will be allowed to set their own standards for SOME hot-button stuff like homosexuality and women pastors. In any system, living or mechanical or social, modularity is crucial. = =…

Not entirely predictable
This is one of the EXTREMELY RARE cases where journalists actually work both ways. Via Nieman, journalists have universally derided Trump’s Napoleonic effort to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This, of course, is more predictable than gravity. Journalists NEVER go along with anything ordered by Official Wrong Party. Locally, journalists…

Canada does it FIRST.
I’ve been darkly watching China, Russia, and India zoom ahead with nuclear while the WEFtern “countries” deprive ourselves of clean power. We bomb our hydro dams and turn off our nukes. We started to plan small reactors in 1954 under the Rural Electrification Admin, created by Henry Wallace. Then we dropped all reactors and clean…

Unhappy 50th, “global warming”
Unhappy 50th, global warming! Or Climate Crisis or Climate Emergency or Climate Chaos or whatever you’re calling yourself at this hour. Before October 26, 1975, actual scientists (and government and media and schools) UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY that the weather is an infinitely complex set of local, global and solar cycles and random changes. Before October 26,…

Unsurprising discovery
Well, it’s unsurprising in one way. It’s also distinctly fascinating, possibly starting a revolution in the scientific understanding of brains and nerves. Bacteria and other one-celled critters often use wires to connect with each other. Now some brain researchers have found that neurons use the same type of tubes to pass atoms directly. This is…

Coal is back!
Via Shepstone, Trump’s Dept of Energy is taking a huge number of general and specialized actions to stop the abandonment of coal and restore some recently closed coal power plants. The actions also reinforce a secondary use of coal in the processing of steel. If the coking plants are gone, we can’t reshore steel. Trump…

Speaking of Gaian suckers…..
Via RealClear: Biologists in Texas have found a rare crossbreed of a bluejay and a greenjay. The two species aren’t as closely related as their names would imply, but they can crossbreed. Instead of simply finding the cross interesting and unusual, the UTexas biologists had to invoke “climate emergency” as the Universal Cause Of Everything.…

Oldest sucker filter
A preacher has predicted that the Rapture will occur tomorrow, 9/23. Raptures and apocalypses are unquestionably the oldest Sucker Filter, the oldest tool for selecting the most gullible followers. Every single one has failed. Often a prophet will “revise” the rapture several times in a row. Each failure and revision sorts the suckers at a…

Won’t happen
The “city” “government” could solve two problems at once with One Weird Trick, but they won’t. REAL problem: Bums are lighting campfires everywhere for cooking, even in 95-degree weather. Bums cause wildfires everywhere, keeping the fire dept busy and occasionally getting out of control. The “city” doesn’t see this as a problem unless the fires…

Postal inspectors score again!
In yesterday’s random item I repetitively mentioned the obviously fraudulent nature of the Gaian cult. It serves the billionaires and nobody else. Here’s a WOW moment. The Postal Inspection Service has caught one of the biggest fraudsters EVER. Joe Sanberg, leading Dem activist, headed a “green investment” firm that claimed to be planting trees in…

Couple of meanders
Meander 1. An article at Curbside Classic pictured the S&H Green Stamp dispenser that used to be common in gas stations and grocery stores. The clerk dialed up the quantity of stamps justified by your purchase, and a string of stamps emerged. Why didn’t thieves just dial up some dollars? Easy answer. Pro criminals need…

Priority list
If governments want people to listen to crap about “climate” and “diversity” and “zoning”, they will have to do ONE THING first. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control…

Don’t just shout there, DO SOMETHING.
Dems are holding a “science fair” to show off some projects canceled by Trump and Elon. Dammit, protesting doesn’t help. You should be FUNDING THE SCIENTISTS instead of showing them off. You have billionaires on your side who are allegedly pro-science. Get them to set up a new system of aristocratic patronage. Most of the…

Bye, Prevost.
He seemed to be on the side of Natural Law at first, but now he’s revealed his true Deepstate colors. Didn’t take long. Continuing the long Roman tradition, he’s working for the billionaires. Gaia is his god. I’m tempted to go a whole lot farther than just bye-bye, but I’m trying to stick to my…
