Omnicidal fashions
The “environmental” omnicidists go through fashions and phases. For a while they try one way to obliterate life on earth. Like all psychopaths they get bored easily, and move on to another form of torture and obliteration. In today’s local “news”, the city’s Waste To Energy Plant was built at great expense 20 years ago…

Fools are at it again
Fools are chanting NO BLOOD FOR OIL again. This is backwards. I wrote about it in 2014. At that time the neocons were channeling Wilson, claiming to serve “democracy”. In fact we didn’t want more oil, we just wanted to prevent other countries from using THEIR oil or minerals or food. We blew up Saddam’s…

Self-shooting fish in barrels
“Science” articles about longevity and happiness ALWAYS miss the true cause. Latest stupid example: Playing tennis is the best way to stay healthy as you get older. To make it more obvious, the headline calls tennis “racquet sports”, whatever that means. Who plays tennis? Rich assholes play tennis. Assholes who have private doctors and private…

Almost up to TRS-80!
Windows 11 has achieved what previous tech predictors thought impossible: It matches the performance of a TRS-80 with cassette drive memory, or the first PC with 144k floppies. Fine work, Microsoft! Sardonic off. I’ve been using Win 11 for several weeks now, so I have a good idea of how various programs run. Absolutely everything…

Free as in
The “investigator” types finally got what they wanted in the Epstein mess. Now they’re shockedshockedshocked to find that the vast majority of pages are redacted and blank. Assuming here that the “investigators” are naive (not bloody likely!), they’re misinterpreting one word. They think the F in FOIA means Free as in Free Speech. In fact…

Why don’t they USE their goddamn AI?
Microsoft and most other software makers are proudly using AI to track your preferences, and SUPPOSEDLY to adjust the software for your preferences. FALSE. There’s no adjustment. Two specific examples. (1) Firefox claims to be using AI, but their adjuster has never noticed that I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS type in the top URL bar. In…

Really dumb.
A group of fucking idiots hopes to start up Twitter again now that Elon has supposedly abandoned the name. They want to name the new site twitter.new instead of com. First, reclaiming any abandoned word or trademark is destined to fail. People who try to reclaim “pre-Trump conservatism” or “classical liberalism” get bogged down in…

Supersuckers as fucking usual
Via Protos: = = = = = Crypto exchanges Kraken, Crypto.com, and BitMEX, alongside a raft of DECENTRALIZED crypto industry websites, have been impacted by Tuesday’s widespread Cloudflare outage that caused swathes of the internet to grind to a halt. = = = = = DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING? A money-handling business…

Loyal campaigners, continued….
Continuing from a few days ago…. All ‘mainline’ institutions are making a basic mistake in advertising and messaging. They claim to be appealing to Da Yoots, the supposedly valuable 18-34 demographic. In fact they are only appealing to one particular type of 70-year-old. After 20 years of bankruptcies, why do they still hold this weird…

STOP QUOTING
GODDAMN IT, STOP QUOTING THE SAME TIRED DEAD PHILOSOPHERS AND WRITERS. IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A WRITER, WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAY IT IN YOUR OWN FUCKING WORDS OR SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I’m pissed. All of these supposed writers are bitching about AI replacing them, while they’re nowhere near AI speed. They can be replaced by a…

Idiotic
Substack is now following Facebook’s idiotic practice of keeping the SAME item on top of your feed for days at a time. The SAME item is never something you want, never something you actually read, and it’s usually stupid and pointless. Newspapers didn’t follow this rule. When a story was continuous, with new events each…

Chickenshit cowards
The clickbaiters in “media” and “congress” are playing the usual stupid talking points game with the latest pretend “revelations” about Epstein. Was Trump on the list? “Congress” demands that the admin must release the list. In the first place, “revelations” never reveal. FOIAs are carefully censored. Deepstate never lets out the facts in a meaningful…

How to kill science
Oxford University Press will censor genetic studies from China because some of the samples come from Uyghurs, who are allegedly persecuted. First: Most of the good research is in China now. Rejecting Chinese studies is deliberately blinding ourselves to most science. Second: I can understand rejecting a study because the subjects were unnecessarily harmed. But…

Sanity elsewhere doesn’t help here
Via Shepstone, apparently the Dems in some states are listening to a bizarre radio signal from a distant galaxy. They’re attempting to please the incomprehensible alien species called “voters” instead of their required instant obedience to billionaires. Quoting from the orthodox Dem Politico: = = = = = START QUOTE: Stung by the party’s sweeping…

How a Sucker Filter works
Spam email says: Congrats! You’ve received a United Healthcare reward! You have been accepted! ONLY 1 DAY LEFT to avail this DEAL! Do they realize United Healthcare is so universally hated that most people want to REWARD the man who committed justice on UHC? I’m sure they do. This is exactly how a Sucker Filter…
