Make something of it, never give up
I’ve been reading Curt McConnell’s ‘Great Cars of the Great Plains’, mainly to gather more about the Great Smith in Topeka. One of those car companies found its niche and is STILL IN BUSINESS TODAY! Luverne began in the usual way as a small carriage maker in a small town, tried making a car in…

Sunflower blooms again!
The former Sunflower Ammunition Plant in DeSoto is being recast into a giant EV battery plant by Panasonic. I caught a hint of this via Reddit, and noticed that the location looked like Sunflower. Most of the articles miss the Sunflower connection. This article at Bizjournals confirms it. Sunflower was a mysterious ghost town for…

Royalty on both sides of the ledger
Publishers normally pay royalties to an author. This time a publisher LISTENED to royalties. Camilla made a speech calling on Demon Puffin to publish Dahl’s work as written. Amazingly they obeyed. They will publish the real work along with their fake work. Last month Charles kicked out the British end of the Epstein Blackmail Factory.…

Best thing in the universe
Noted via Reddit, the Broken Arrow schools near Tulsa are teaching biology and physics as part of fly-fishing! = = = = = START QUOTE: “Over a month ago, we started taking a look at insects,” he said. “Then we started learning how to mimic insects, to fly tie, and now we’re putting these flies…

Early adaptation
Neat example of handicap adaptation from Motor Age 1922. The Ford T was already closer to all-hand than most cars. Early Ts, and the predecessor model S, were fully footless. The hi/lo/neutral control was a lever instead of a pedal. Only the brake and reverse were pedals, and the brake was always duplicated by the…

Not worried
Headline at Bari Weiss’s neocon opinion page: The rise of deepfake porn: AI can turn anyone into a porn star without their knowledge. That reality should frighten us all. Well, that’s one AI threat I definitely don’t need to worry about. Guarangoddamnteed.

Skill vs status
Carver in 1913: Start where you are. Work with what you have. Make something of it. Never give up. Here’s a fable showing what happens when you disobey Carver. Around 1915, Ford’s total mastery of high quantity at low price forced everyone else out of that position. Later, Cadillac’s total ownership of the luxury market…

Charlie sweeps out the trash
King Charles is starting out strong. He has literally evicted Andrew from all royal palaces and offices and titles and honors. No American politician has ever kicked out an Epstein agent, because “both” “parties” are totally owned by Epstein. All of the recent “presidents” have been openly and proudly associated with the Epstein Blackmail Factory.…

1933 again? Hope so!
Free money for demons enables demons to kill and torture freely. Free money to corporations enables corporations to focus solely on pleasing the shareholders. QT forces corporations to seek PROFIT, which means they must try to improve their products and improve the life of their workers. Since 2008 all automakers have been producing the same…

Sanity returns to influencers
During QE, all influencers were “investing” in stupid IPOs and fantastically brainless bitcoin. Now that Powell has stopped the counterfeit, some rich athletes are returning to real capitalism. A brokerage is buying farmland for the influencers and renting it out to farmers. Sharia would approve, and real economics also approves. Unlike Gates and other Gaian…

Trying again
Trying to talk myself down from Muzzle PTSD yet again. Even the fucking NY Times now acknowledges that self-muzzlers are weird and crazy. The mood of the elites has unquestionably shifted. They’re done. When the NY Times is done, the whole monstrosity is done. The agencies will keep pushing, but so far their pushes are…

Seeing the whole graph
A brief feature on Yahoo Finance shows that the new “alarming” trend toward youngsters staying with parents is not alarming at all. A screencap of the relevant graph: This shows the percent of younger folks 18-29 who are living with parents. The underlying article at Business Insider links to Census data, but the Census website…

Two cheers for nuclear!
Yahoo Financial interviewed the head of Constellation Energy, which owns several existing nuclear power plants. He is optimistic about the future of nukes, since the omnibus “Inflation” “Reduction” “Act” includes a new tax credit to level the economic playing field for nukes vs fake “renewable” sources. He also (finally) sees some real action in the…

Three cheers for coal!
Following on Coal vs Ice: Coal is coming back, and New Nazi Torturist magazine hates it. The UK is set to get its first new deep coal mine in three decades after the government approved plans for a project in Cumbria, despite widespread opposition on environmental grounds.
