ASTONISHING!
The supremes did the right thing for goddamn once! The city of San Francisco, heartland of Gaian loonies, has been carefully following the original rules for controlling sewer outflows into the ocean. The original 1972 environmental rules are mostly good, mostly restriction of truly nasty stuff like lead and sulfur dioxide. The crazy shit came…

Self-check for cash codgers
For many years I made grocery trips as early as possible given bus schedule and daylight. Two years ago Safeway limited the hours of real checkout, so I switched to a later storetrip to stay in the real checkout. The later schedule was inconvenient in several ways: more traffic, more crowding on bus, more delays…

Solid victory
A court has laid down an important decision against the AI thieves. An AI gang was stealing info from Reuters’s Westlaw database and using it to build its own competing product. The judge found that Reuters’s copyrights were infringed by the thieves. In this specific case there won’t be an actual payment because the thief…

Good nuke news
A pro-nuke substacker caught an instructive switch in bureaucratic direction. A law passed by the mixed-party congress in July 2024 (before the election) and signed by Democrat Biden REQUIRED the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to stop blocking new construction and start encouraging it. The agency predictably did nothing until Trump’s new head of nuclear policy changed…

Belated mystery
Listening to these Postal Service training films brings back a memory of a situation that I didn’t question at the time, but seems puzzling now. In 1978 I worked night shift for a quasi-private part of OU in Norman. This “business” ran two facilities on the OU campus. One was the Conference Center at the…

Good work!
Via Stoller, Lina Khan has notched up one BIG victory before NYC Trump returns and breaks everything again. Khan won a court injunction to halt the merger of Kroger and Albertson. If allowed, the combo would be larger than Walmart, and would be able to raise grocery prices without limit. It would also close down…

ALL is all.
Time for my occasional salute to good old Kedit. I’ve been using it since 1984, and I’ve tried all the alleged substitutes and replacements. Nothing comes close. My life and work is centered around Kedit, specifically the ALL keyword, which has no equivalent in any other program. I use standard phrases in my daily life…

One wonderful thing
Yesterday’s election had the usual results here in the “state” of Washington. Crazy monsters and crazy referenda won. With one beautiful exception! Referendum 2066 to protect natural gas from the crazies PASSED. Somewhat narrowly, but still enough to settle the issue. From the official description: The measure prohibits state and local governments from restricting access…

Eureka Lake
In 1966 I was exploring the Manhattan area. Southwest of town I found a huge brick building with a nice porch, fronting a peaceful little lake. The building looked like a hotel. On a nearby corner was a little country general store. Checking maps, I found that the building was the Oddfellows nursing home, and…

Real capitalism works.
While “journalism” and academia and politics continue to destroy their own credibility, big corporations are returning to grounded sanity FAST. Here’s a lengthy list of corporations that have abandoned the Gaian religion. It includes most sectors, from high tech to petroleum to clothing. Microsoft and Google, formerly leaders of the religion, have decided that profit…
