Yaaaayy!
Purely personal. The latest version of courseware was completed in July, and I submitted it to the publisher. Supposedly they had a deadline of Dec 31 to check it over and send it out. They wanted me to verify that it can work in the Canvas LMS. Canvas is now the most popular LMS, overtaking…

Amazing!
Federal courts are starting to make a few SANE decisions, counteracting the Gaian demons who are trying to kill all peasants so Bezos can own the world. 1. The Osage, who have been at the bottom of the economic totem pole for decades, are finally winning an important battle. In the area between Ponca and…

Witch hunts end…
When the torches start burning the igniters. This applies to all sorts of evil fads and trends, not just witch hunts. Harvard seems to have broken the long-term wildly destructive trend of credentialism when its highly credentialed president and Chief Inquisitor foolishly inquisited Correct Persons. Now the broad movement against college is accelerating, which is…

Not out of place!
Speaking of autonomous vehicles, here’s the real thing, right where it should be! Wonder if this is where they bought it?

Hope everyone copies this law!
Via ArsTechnica, Britain is requiring software firms to notify users in advance of their endless psychopathic updates which always destroy functionality and prevent work. Apple is threatening to leave Britain. GOOD! I hope all countries enact similar laws so Apple will leave all countries.

Fed breaks Parkinson!
Jerome Powell is the ONLY problem solver in this fucked former “country”. Everyone else at all levels is manufacturing problems and evils at an exponentially increasing rate. Now Powell has added another achievement: He broke the unbreakable Parkinson. He REPEALED a Federal program! Not quite as big as repealing a whole agency, but still unprecedented…

A real unintended consequence
Most allegedly unintended consequences are clearly intended after you understand the Machiavellian purposes of the monsters. Results only look accidental or “failed” when you delusionally assume that the monsters want peace and happiness and normal lives for normal people. Despite all the “censorship” (mostly the old Banned In Boston trick) the web has brought a…

Another great quote
Seen at EnidBuzz facebook page as usual. This one is a bit too long to put in the top icon, but I want to remember it. I got sober because I wanted a better life. I stay sober because I have one.

Amazing!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!
This happened a month ago but I just heard about it. Alberta, which is Canada’s Texas, has effectively seceded from the national government’s Gaian lunacy. Canada’s fairly recent constitution makes provincial sovereignty clear, and the prairie provinces have exercised more sovereignty than US states for quite a while. This is a BEAUTIFUL development. Unlike Texas,…

Weird WordPress glitch /// No, Firefox glitch.
WordPress often introduces bugs in its UI, then fixes them after a few days. This week’s bug is a new trick. It seems to treat me as “halfway signed in”. I’m able to write and publish new items, but when I try to see the preview while writing, the preview looks like this: Also, it…

France returns to Foy
From a substack titled ‘Craftsmanship’: = = = = = START QUOTE: In 2017, an idealistic and relatively unknown French activist sued tech behemoth Apple, Inc., over its “alleged” practice of designing iPhones to fail after just a few years. She wasn’t the first environmentalist to challenge Apple—but when she won, it became big news.…

Need to remember
In one of Bloomberg’s more casual podcasts, someone said: Welcome to 2023, when nobody wants to work and everything is ten times harder than it should be. Exactly. Services that used to take days to schedule now take months. Stores are switching to self-scan because they can’t keep employees. BUT: I need to remember that…

Wise woman
In this clip Yasuko is showing a ‘hand reflexology’ trick for slowing down anger. Those indirect pressure points don’t work for me, but her basic advice about anger is deeply and eternally wise, and also good science. = = = = = START YASUKO QUOTE: It looks and feels like people are getting snappier as…

Henry would be proud
And I mean both Henry Ford and Henry Wallace. UAW is the good news in today’s mess. Through careful and clever analog strategy, they achieved tremendous victories against all of the Big Three. Now the non-union carmakers are starting to feel the pressure, raising their own starting wages to remain competitive. When corporations compete to…

Guilty!
That was quick. Sammy’s guilty on all charges. Bravo and kudos to the jury. I would have had trouble with obscure concepts of balance (a thief stealing from other thieves is not really immoral)… but a jury is only supposed to deal with the letter of the law, and they did it exactly right.
