Nothing new.
Something randomly reminded me of the remarkable Tyler family history. President Tyler’s grandson Harrison Ruffin Tyler died earlier this year. Grandpa married a trophy wife and had a son when he was 75, then the son did the same thing and had Harrison when he was 63. From a 2012 interview with Harrison: = =…

Agrees with observed
Another home run for Compact Mag after a few weeks of bunts and fouls. John Judis writes a comprehensive and clear article on the New Left in 1969 vs the New Left now. He agrees with what I saw then. Judis was more of an insider, while I was just a random protester, but I…

The good part
Yet another boring and repetitive piece of evidence that “journalists” are utterly incapable of handling reality. They continue to pretend that they want to be read and trusted. Every word they write reveals their real attitude. They don’t want to be read or trusted. Maximum distrust and disgust among the Neanderthals is the Quality Control…

The purpose of Libertarians
From a delicious report on the current state of Elon cultists: = = = = = START DELICIOUS: He claims the recording was made at a Los Angeles Tesla supercharger station that is underequipped — with just five or six chargers, two of which are designated for handicapped use — for the high demand in…

Emerson wins
A few days ago a dream contained an encouraging message. Things aren’t as bad as they look on the surface. Give people a chance. Semi Bird has been running for governor of this “state” on a clear and firm anti-muzzle and anti-vax and anti-lockdown agenda. The last time I checked he seemed to be losing…

Today is Bean Counter Day
The day after the traditional (but not observed) Income Tax Day has been dedicated to accountants and bookkeepers and clerks. Clerks are insultingly called bean-counters by grandiose executives who want to eat all the beans. Following today’s theme, clerks are the internal negative feedback mechanism for predatory capitalists. When the exec wants to LBO the…

Effective Alltruthism
Demons can be honest now because they own everything. Bill Maher says cheerfully that abortion is murder from a legal perspective, but murder is needed because there are 8 billion people in the world. Psychopaths must be the sole occupant of the universe. All other living things are Negative Externalities to a demon. Maher states…

No, wait
As usual I was doomscrolling, noting that many colleges are dropping “humanities” courses, which really means torturer training courses. I was pissed because all the online writeups were bemoaning the loss, blaming Deplorables. No, wait! WHY AM I PISSED? THE ACTUAL TREND IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The bitching from well-paid devils is a…

Same as the others
I haven’t paid attention to Big Architecture lately. It’s refreshingly clear that small-scale architects are turning toward sanity. Recent new houses around here are remarkably resonant with the older neighbors, neatly transitioning toward the existing house on each side. It’s impressive in a NON-radical way. If this article is generally true, it sounds like Big…

Why should we care?
Religion News Service discusses the dechurching of the Yankee world, and asks what will happen to all those buildings? Allegedly we would care if 100k libraries shut down or 100k schools shut down, but we don’t care about 100k churches. All of those things happened in 2020. Churches did nothing to protect their people from…

Bit of justice
Bloomberg writes that middle managers are being laid off faster than real workers or top execs now. They quote one middle manager who survived previous layoffs and finally got the ax. Kendall Smith led a marketing team at a health-care staffing tech startup before she was recently let go after surviving previous rounds of layoffs.…

Returning to an old pattern
Headline: Bentley introduces 5 custom editions inspired by Indian flag. One of the specials is the Bentayga Opulence Edition. A long way from Rolls with its “adequate” horsepower. This is reverting to an old norm. Before independence, maharajahs were a prime market for Rolls and Packard super-special custom limos and speedsters. = = = =…

YAFIYGI
Another fine example of You Asked For It, You Got It. Duke U is shutting down its herbarium after a century of maintenance. Other “scientists” are trying to shame Duke into reopening. Sorry, assholes. You created ALL the conditions for collapsing colleges. Now you’re reaping the benefits of your many decades of idiocy. The “biodiversity”…

Starving the demons
There’s no way to kill or depose demons who own everything, but Nature has a way of starving overgrown monsters who trample and gobble up all the plants. Pointed via the Pillar substack, a list of the Vatican’s budget problems. This is good news for the real church, which is in Africa along with Snowbird…

No sympathy
Rushfield at The Ankler is writing a ‘field guide’ to the various species that inhabit Hollywood. Actors, agents, producers. Today he covers reporters. = = = = = START RUSHFIELD: At the root of the reporters condition, always remember that they are the survivors of a nearly dead profession, even if the trade variety here…
