Delia’s gone, one more round
Sam Kahn writes in New Atlantis about Delia Bacon, a forgotten figure who was at the center of the American creative burst in the 1840s. She was taught by Beecher and influenced Emerson and Hawthorne and Poe. She wasn’t related to Francis Bacon, but spent her life trying to establish that Bacon wrote Shakespeare’s work…

QT continues to solve problems
Yahoo notes that Beyond Meat, a pure QE cash-burning fake company, is on the way down. They miss the main problem, which I discussed in 2019. = = = = = START REPRINT: It’s been clear from the start that Tesla cultists are not truly green. They’re rich fuckheads who fly and drive all the…

Speedrunning = speedreading
From 1905 to 1945, most Americans had an accurate idea of how to get wealthy. We understood the Machiavellian truth. Power and wealth are earned by evil and crime. Busting this truth was a MAJOR part of Deepstate’s project after 1946. Massive media and school-based propaganda attempted to restore the lies of “equality” and “meritocracy”.…

Two graphy Californians
I’ve been reading Steve Sailer and Wolf Richter for many years. Both are longtime Californians, both are keen observers who know how to look beyond the partisan crap, and both use a lot of data and graphs. Recently Sailer has been losing his sharpness and Wolf has been gaining. Today’s articles are a good example.…

Spring rebirth
Polistra and friends enjoy a refreshing spring shower now that warm weather has finally arrived. Thank the Lord and thanks to Jerome Powell for continuing to hold the line despite universal screeching from the vultures. Real business and thrift have a chance of rebirth now. = = = = = Graphics footnote after posting: The…

Beautiful! More, please!
Another fuckhead bank goes DOWN IN FLAMES! Silicon Valley Bank branch in Manhattan today called the cops on tech investors trying to pull their cash out as a run on the bank forced regulators to seize its assets. Police were called after ‘about a dozen’ financiers, including former Lyft executive Dor Levi, showed up outside…

According to this piece at Medium, the planning for Charles’s eventual death started as soon as he took office. If he carries the good genes, the planners should have 30 years to get ready. The plan for Elizabeth’s death was called Operation London Bridge. The new plan is called Operation Menai Bridge, after the Menai…

Gotcha.
Sam was arrested yesterday by the authorities in the Bahamas. Lesson: When your criminal syndicate depends on currying the favor of demons who are BIGGER THAN YOU and MORE EXPERIENCED AT THE DEMON GAME, you shouldn’t go around taunting the demons. His accomplice Caroline played a smarter game by turning snitch against Sam. Musical accompaniment.

Not a horseshoe
Many of the bitcoin commentators are trying to place the Effective Altruism types (eg the FTX boys) and the alt-white types (eg the Unz boys) at opposite ends of a spectrum. They’re not opposite at all, not even in the wraparound ‘horseshoe graph’ sense. They’re identical with slightly different labeling. Both groups are cullers. They…

Connection
Just noticed a meaningful connection. The souls of ordinary people demand justice. We want to see a real crime punished, and we want to see incurable criminals removed or killed. At the moment we have two seemingly unrelated crimes disappearing on their own. The “virus” holocaust, which seemed permanent, halted in late 2020 in sane…

Cold revenge
Elon talked about merging Twitter into his dream of one all-consuming web system. He had tried it once before with X.com, and his holding company for Twitter was called X to make the point. When he started this particular headfake, I began to notice that Yahoo Financial is doing the best job of covering the…

Was Emerson right?
In 1840 Emerson wrote: Though no checks to a new evil appear [at first], the checks exist and will appear. If the government is cruel, the governor’s life is not safe. If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing. If you make the criminal code sanguinary, juries will not convict. Nothing arbitrary, nothing…

Grandma was more right than she knew
Common wisdom was right about nearly everything before “science” and “democracy” and “philosophy” turned wisdom into genocide and torture. Some branches of science are accidentally recovering old wisdom in recent years, while other branches (like “social” “science” and public “health”) are zooming out beyond the event horizon of infinite satanic lunacy. = = = =…

Kar Kontest Karma
The deliciously unbought Corvette NFT reminded me of another car contest with a beautiful end. = = = = = START REPRINT: In 1954 Nash held a ‘name this car’ contest to promote the new Metropolitan. They built a custom roadster using the same Austin engine as the Metropolitan, and invited entries to submit names.…

Flow chart
Just for fun, let’s try another multiple-choice bet. Assuming Elon is really done with the game, Twitter has two choices. (1) Keep the litigation going, or (2) charge Elon a billion dollars as per the contract. Take the money and run would be the only conceivable choice for humans, but I don’t know how demons…
