Is vs Was
Here’s a nice clear article from Catholic World Report on the super-clear question of gender. The author runs through some of the sillier theological disputes that have divided churches, and contrasts those silly theological issues with the basic SCIENTIFIC definitions of life. Real science and real religion agree now on all important questions of reality.…

More Cirn Cibbles
Latest from Kirn: They’re really mainstreaming prison culture now. Everyone has to pick a gang, time outside is a privilege granted by the warden, hard drugs are available but cigs are rare, and the guards stand around and do absolutely nothing while the prisoners get violent. Mostly wrong. An excellent author like Kirn should avoid…

Another UFO?
Polistra and friends are greeting another UFO. This UFO may have appeared before in the dimly remembered past, but it has certainly been absent for the last three months. Rain every day. Sometimes real thunderstorms, sometimes all-day drizzle, sometimes a threat of storms. The threats and the actual storms ALWAYS came just when I was…

Imitating or implementing?
This morning while walking home from the store I passed a neighbor who was taking out the trash. She called out and I responded in exactly the same notes and then I heard a THIRD voice singing the same notes in the same rhythm. It was a bird, who had undoubtedly been singing those notes…

Interesting Constants and Variables question
Since I’m in a programming mood lately, this caught my attention. Saagar is listing various political celebrities who suddenly gained and lost Twitter followers since Elon announced his takeover. Many of these changes are reversals of long-lasting trends, and they don’t seem to correlate neatly with R vs D. Saagar also notes that the takeover…

Constants and Variables 172, web-to-web edition
The “rights” fans are weeweed up this morning over Biden’s new Disinformation Centre. The director is a former Disinformation Fellowess at the WILSON CENTRE. Fact: Secrecy and censorship are the defaults. We don’t have the choice of escaping censorship. Given this CONSTANT, there are two interesting VARIABLES, a political timeline and a tech timeline. They…

As usual the reason matters more than the content….
According to Vice, Deepstate has “released” a bunch of documents about its UFO research programs. Skimming some of the links, it appears that nothing much has changed since the ’50s. The government was “trying” to achieve antigravity propulsion in Project AVRO back then, and it’s still “trying” the same thing. The beta tests of these…

Always a thrill
Coral and Jim Lorenzen developed a network of independent UFO observers across USA and South America. Their organization knew what was happening, and thus knew when the media was choosing not to report what was happening. Immediately after Sputnik a large number of media reports came to the surface, and the media went supernova after…

So what’s my guess?
Branching from previous item on command/fact pairs…. For a brief period last year, Deepstate was preferring the believer side of the UFO question. (Deepstate always runs organizations on both sides, but this was a switch of preference.) NASA presented some sightings in an attempt to gin up yet another fake “threat” requiring “protection”. It fell…

It’s all about caste
Headline at MindMatters: Unexplained — Maybe Unexplainable — Numbers Control the Universe In Carl Sagan’s Contact, the extraterrestrials embedded a message in the irrational number pi (the circumference of a circle divided by its radius). But some other numbers are critical to the structure of our universe too — and why they are critical does…

Not what BVM meant
Zuhlsdorf catches a revealing inconsistency in Bergoglio’s fake “peace” consecration. Bergoglio is following Deepstate as always, obeying NSA and CIA and Wall Street. He’s attempting to treat Russia and Ukraine as historically separate because Deepstate wants to separate them. When Mary called for the consecration of Russia through the Fatima girls, she meant the constant…

NOTHING.NEW under the sun
Still thinking about trite non-info vs new info… American Radio Library has added a section for the Western Union tech journal. Trite: I’ve said this a hundred times. The HTML web is just the latest and NOT the greatest incarnation of data webs. Formalized data webs started with Chappe’s mechanical semaphores, then the electrical telegraph…

Opposite of news
In previous item I made a note about my attempt to favor information and avoid repeating the repeated. This shouldn’t be strange; this is exactly what our nervous system does at all levels. Find and focus on the new and unusual. The old definitions of news were also natural. The word itself is just a…

Wolf explodes a myth
And speaking of modules sharing a common ground… Wolf’s latest excellent graphs tell a story that breaks down the conventional media myth about 2008. I hadn’t seen these graphs before. I knew that the myth about a US housing bubble was wrong, but I assumed it was a US phenomenon, not international. Wolf shows stock…

Some things don’t change
From an otherwise uninteresting 1948 WBZ station brochure: Caption: Talent arrives with costumes for video rehearsal. Video was brand new in ’48, and talent was still operating in Vaudeville mode. Traveling between theaters, carrying their own costumes and props. The car in front is a base-model Hudson business coupe, probably belonging to one of the…
