This is what happens
Headline: Columbia funding cuts set dangerous precedent This is what happens when you let politicians sponsor your research. The truly dangerous precedent was set in 1946, not 2025. Dependence on federal money started in 1946, and the danger was already obvious by 1958. My dad saw it, and a much more famous dude named Eisenhower…

The answer is work
This 1935 Ford promotional film starts with a long florid speech by a pompous grandiose announcer, introducing an important address by Henry Ford himself! Mr Ford will announce the company’s way of countering the Depression. After the long highly “grammatical” intro, we hear a long florid verbose oration by Henry himself: The answer is work.…

More vexillology
Following on Harper’s observations about Canada vs US in his discussion of flags. US bureaucracies and journalists and academics are responding to Trump’s cuts by protesting and petitioning. Canada is responding to Trump’s cuts by altering its behavior to SOLVE THE PROBLEM. The PROBLEM in both cases is too much dependence on US government and…

Weird English
When you sign into Twitter it prompts: What is happening? This is WEIRD English. It sounds like a teacher walking into a disorderly classroom: What in the hell is HAPPENING around here???? Other socials use casual phrases like What’s on your mind? Twitter reminds me of the standard prison greeting exchange in Mansfield: What’s happening,…

Motivation to get better
One commenter on the endless and unfortunately boring parade of drug overdoses hits the BIG point. Ya know I don’t believe anyone wants anyone to die…however most of us are sick of it. We give them no motivation to get better and provide more services then most of us hardworking folks can afford. Motivation to…

More anniversaries
Jan 20 is one of my anniversary dates. = = = = = PARTIAL REPRINT: When I got out of prison, my first experience with independent life was in this duplex in Stillwater. I restarted college on Jan 20, 1970. My Zenith Trans-Oceanic helped to pull me out of the walls and back into the…

Y no Gates?
Picking up WWV for New Year pulled me back into shortwave, at least for a while. (I have real work to do right now, and I don’t have enough spare gumption to delve into another sideline.) I’m reminded again of the fact that shortwave is a vacant resource. Broadcasters and commercial communication services have moved…

Craig Wright, the final chapter
Edit: Oooops, I published too soon without waiting for the actual sentence! The Judge sentenced Wright to 1 year but suspended the sentence for 2 years to see if Wright will start paying his fines. Unsatisfying conclusion and won’t stop the chaos that Wright creates every minute of his nasty life. PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS NEED TO…

Was this his purpose?
After reading Mangione’s whole manifesto, a highly literate account of his mother’s endless pain and his own endless pain, plus the endless failure of United “Health” to honor its own CONTRACT, I had a new thought. He will probably get better medical care in prison than he did outside the walls. Prisons are NOT ALLOWED…

Two weird responses
There are two bizarre responses to Biden pardoning his son. We expect Repoofs to treat it as unique, just as Dems treat everything Trump does as unique, EXCEPT for the ONE HUGE MONSTROUS HISTORY-ENDING UNIQUE CRIME OF IMPRISONING AND STRANGLING AND CLOSING THE ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY, which both “sides” have completely memoryholed now. Didn’t happen.…

You ain’t the muster, mister.
For many years commentators of various stripes have been telling rulers what they MUST do. It’s a perfect waste of words. You’re not the muster, so you can’t tell aristocrats what they MUST do. Aristocrats know who the muster is and what the muster wants, and automatically obey without explicit commands. Bezos and Soros are…

AI is criminal.
We already knew that, but good old Craig Wright proves it. His latest spewing of bizarre complex objections to his own lying seems to have been written mostly by criminal accomplice ChatGPT. This is DELICIOUS. Via Protos: = = = = = START QUOTE: Additionally, 16 links to various CoinDesk, The Block, Bitmex research, and…

Healthy attitude
More examples of a healthy response to insane rulers. Along with the endless overdoses, dozens per day, we have violence of all sorts, mostly crazy. The activists want us to crusade against the rulers. Sorry, I’m a conscientious objector from ALL wars, official and unofficial. Unofficial crusaders lose every time, and their losses and failures…

Assange comes to reality
Looks like Assange has finally caught onto reality. After he Paid The Two Dollars, he was freed. He could have done it a LOT earlier. Now he says = = = = = START QUOTE: I eventually chose freedom over unrealizable justice after being detained for years and facing a 175 year sentence with no…

Makes sense
I’ve never used a cellphone so I don’t know anything about the experience. It’s not quite the same as regular web. Biles at MindMatters is discussing the increasing bans on cellphones in schools. He points to an aspect of iPhone-based life, especially for youngsters, that I didn’t realize: = = = = = START QUOTE:…
