Zuck is hopelessly dumb.
Latest example: A jury in Santa Fe fined Facebook $25 billion, payable to the state of NM, for a vague set of charges that aren’t properly fraud, and aren’t offenses against the state of NM. Headlines say the case is about “privacy”, which is also a nonsensical charge, but the “privacy” crap wasn’t in the…

FADFO
The stories on today’s Nieman website show an industry working HARD in every possible way to drive away its customers and empower its enemies. The N. Y. T. i. m. e. s. lost a libel suit because it followed the perpetual Yankee tradition of seeing all Southerners as Klansmen. They couldn’t imagine that a Southerner…

Bidets
Spending too much passive online time this week, recovering from some tiring stuff. Reddit and Quora are packed with Euro Bidet Snobs who look WAY down on gun-totin 300-pound Murcan Neanderthals who aint learned nothin bout indoor plumbin. Murcans still use them ancient primitive “toilet” thangs and still wipe with primitive Sears catalogs. I finally…

Journalists = Sovereign citizens
Sovereign citizens spend HUGE amounts of time and effort “resisting” the legal system, using antiquated bits of law. (writs of replevin, admiralty law, etc) They never win. The legal system just hardens its attitude and the general public finds the legal system less obnoxious than the sovcits. Journalists spend HUGE amounts of time and effort…

Why reform is impossible
Somebody at substack was making a pretty good start on the need for better science communication. He said we need to show more humility and openness to alternate answers, especially when discussing “existential climate change risks”. If you can’t imagine alternate views IN A SENTENCE ABOUT IMAGINING ALTERNATE VIEWS, you’re a hopeless idiot. No chance…

Just because all the cool kids…
Classic story of faddish stupidity. The Australian stock market had a smoothly functioning computer system. This means it was written in COBOL. Smoothly functioning == COBOL. So they decided to make it COOL instead of COBOL. What’s really really cool? Bitcoin! They spent 7 years and untold millions of dollars fucking around, trying to develop…

It’s a mystery.
I’m sort of clinically fascinated by the incurable self-destructive stupidity of the Dems. Today’s news item is an “autopsy” or analysis of their failed elections. The DNC chairman assigned an aide to write it a year ago, then kept it secret until now. He only released it because CNN had already leaked it. (Bravo to…

Near?
More stupid “cybersecurity” tricks. Every time you clear the browser cache and re-login to sites, some of them will send you pointless emails asking if you just logged in. OF COURSE I just logged in, otherwise I wouldn’t be in Gmail receiving the pointless email reminding me that I’m in Gmail. And I didn’t log…

Goddamn fake
Both demon “sides” are roaring their fantastically brainless Shared Lies as the “governor” signs a “law” pretending to impose a new “tax” on millionaires. As fucking usual the Democrats are cheering that we finally have an income tax. As even more fucking usual the unspeakably monstrous Repooflicans are roaring GOD HATES TAXES and GIVE BEZOS…

Paid by Trump
The idiot Democrats are still doing the same shit, still working for Trump. I won’t bother to explain this for the 100000000000th time because nobody is listening. Even important insiders have been explaining it 10000000000 times and the idiot Democrats don’t listen to them. I’ve concluded that they are paid by Trump. A party who…

We’re not using what we have
The local paper has an article about a recent bus crash. A driver was following the computer instead of his eyes, and crashed one of the new double-decker buses into a railroad overpass. I’ve been riding STA buses for 35 years, so I know something about the setup. I’ve been programming for 45 years, so…

Same old shit
Via Spokesman-Review: The DEA proudly announced a huge drug seizure in the Kennewick area. The ringleader had set up a network with residences in several cities and salesmen all over the place. He was not only a repeat offender, he was on probation after early release from a previous huge drug trafficking sentence. As fucking…

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…
