It’s customary
I was thinking about the cozy relationship between oil companies and “climate” organizations. Petroleum is a major funder of the “climate” loonies. It looks corrupt, and it should annoy the “climate” loonies, but it’s actually normal. Extractive industries usually pay tribute in one way or another. It’s not a nuisance, it’s the basic cost of…

Couldn’t resist
Stupid but couldn’t resist. = = = = = Born in a scraper-top in NYC, killed him a bar when he was 53, dumped off the bar in a park for all to see, that he was the Greenest Man in Old Americkee! Bobby, Bobby Kenn’dy, King of the Green Frontier!

Pic worth 1000 busted eardrums
Vintage.es has some pix of East Boston after Logan Airport was built next door. Impressive testimony to the disruptive power of NOISE. Most of the pix show a jet airplane taking off from the airport. The planes are so close you could almost reach up and touch them. Everyone is holding their fingers in their…

Crowd of Pied Pipers
Looks like RFK is getting ready to join a long parade of traitors and Pied Pipers, leading a movement directly into the establishment they thought they were fighting. Jennings Bryan did it in 1908. After leading populists for a decade, he joined the Wilson admin and helped to make war and create the League of…

RIP Jim Inhofe
Jim Inhofe, the only legitimate senator in recent decades, has died at age 89. = = = = = START 2010 REPRINT: James Inhofe, the only legitimate Senator, shows yet again why he owns that title. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe is going down swinging, insisting he’ll still send earmarks to his state even though his…

Another stepback
Another example of stepping back to the higher-level question. One of the Things I Learned From Others was this clarifier by Dick Morris in the ’90s. Political messages are NOT aimed at voters. They’re aimed at donors or other politicians. When we see absurd crap floating around the media and ask Do they really think…

Boxtops all the way down
I stay on the email list of NewSuperstitionist because they occasionally feature an interesting development that I hadn’t heard about through other sources. Their emails in recent years reveal a change in their business model. NS runs frequent cruises to various parts of the world, with big-name “Experts On Board” to narrate and discuss what…

England still lives.
Kirn also gets in a well-aimed dig at the Gaian fuckheads vandalizing Stonehenge. They are screwing with the wrong pagan gods — their own! How stupid is that? They’ve unleashed the bards and leprechauns on themselves. Looking at the clip of the vandalism, I’m hugely impressed by the instant response of normal people. As soon…

Gaian grammar
Religion Unplugged, the successor to GetReligion, constantly beats the drum for “climate emergency”. It’s a good reminder that “global warming” was a Christian scam before it was coopted by CIA and turned into a secular religion. One aspect remains constant. Apocalyptic Christians always miss the meaning of prophecy. A prophet is telling us what WILL…

Not so bad
Maybe AI is a good thing after all. Lever News, a ‘progressive’ site, pulls together some facts about a side of AI we normally don’t consider. The data centers for AI servers are adding a huge load to electric grids, and the electric utilities are keeping coal power running to satisfy the need. = =…

Trump knows what he’s doing
Headline: Trump says he wants all remaining bitcoin to be mined in USA. Needless to say, the bitcoin suckers, who are also Trump suckers, will love this. Oh boy! That’ll show those horrible Red Chinese Marxist Commies who’s boss! Fact 1: Bitcoin is now a Larry Fink brand. Trump is a politician, therefore everything he…

Powerful analogy
Compact Mag details the rise of greenlash in this week’s EU parliament election. Germany has taken the craziest green path in the last 10 years, shutting down its clean nuclear plants and also banning Russian gas, resulting in more coal power. Coal is genuinely dirty, but coal automatically becomes pure as angel hair when Gaia…

Watching the football
VW has pulled back from the EV craze and decided to continue developing gas engines. They’ve moved most of their future development budget back into real car engines. The EV craze was partly motivated by Elon’s cult power and partly by Share Value imperatives. Elon’s prank follows the model of GM’s pranks from the ’50s…

Pants on the ground
Here’s a perfect contrast to Establishment Rushfield’s hardass economic realism. Compact mag explicitly claims to be populist. Some of their articles fit the promise. This one goes the wrong way. = = = = = START COMPACT: The problem Biden faces is that a long-simmering cost-of-living crisis—reflected most but not exclusively in stifling housing prices—has…

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…
