Gap
I wanted to reread Duane Jones’s wonderful little book. I thought it was in the top shelf of my ‘actively used’ bookcase, but it’s not there. Started looking through other areas. Finally looked through a little stack of magazines in a basket next to the dining table. When a magazine or catalog comes in, it…

Talent and drive
A British court has decided firmly and colorfully that Craig Wright is not Satoshi. The general verdict was announced earlier, and the final document was published today. Overall I’m impressed by two things. 1. Impressed by the comprehension and understanding of the judge, who clearly spent vast time and effort learning the details of the…

Ask and ye shall
Last night, thinking about the satanic “government” of Spokane, which is unfortunately the default in most cities, an odd analogy popped up. When other jobs need to solve a problem and can’t think of the solution, we Google it. More specifically we go to subject area websites like Slack or StackExchange, where people within a…

Not just “elections”
I’ve been hammering for years on the FACT that all “elections” are rigged, and the rig is NOT in the votes or counting. It doesn’t matter who votes or how the votes are counted. The rig happens before the ceremony of voting, when parties carefully remove all candidates and referenda that could change government behavior.…

One new fact
Real lawyers discuss Sammy’s sentence. Good clear info but mostly old news, with one exception. The federal board decided to put Sammy in medium security rather than a Country Club Camp. These lawyers think the decision was more about protecting Sammy from his “victims”, not preventing escape. Makes sense, given that his “victims” were mostly…

Open source is shit.
Part of the bitcoin gospel, and the Tech Tyrant gospel in general, is the “benefit” of Open Source at every level. Supposedly a codebase maintained by unpaid and overworked hobbyists will automatically be better and more secure than a codebase kept within careful bounds by a business that owns and guards the rights. Via Protos,…

Branch farts
From previous item: = = = = = START REPRINT: In fact NSA and CIA don’t use “laws” and “courts” at all. Even ordinary police are not restricted by “warrants”. All police spy on everything** they find interesting, then apply for a “warrant” when they’ve finished spying. After the “warrant” is AUTOMATICALLY ISSUED by a…

Radio in the walls
Looking up DeForest’s Unit Panel system, ran into an article in Gernsback’s Radio News from June 1928. Radio in the Ohio State Pen, by 52607. Conditions were definitely different when I was in Mansfield in 1969. If this article is accurate, the inmates of 1928 had far more latitude and trust. = = = =…

An actual change?
Oregon recriminalizes drugs! This won’t immediately solve the fentanyl problem, because the problem is equally bad in states that DIDN’T decriminalize. But it signals a shift in political mood among the crazy devils who misrule this part of the country. One part of the law COULD lead toward a solution: = = = = =…

Jail mode thoughts
A powerful and heartfelt comment in Spokane News. = = = = = START QUOTE: I don’t think anyone is laughing or joking but after 40 in a weekend everyone is becoming more desensitized to these situations. The police aren’t allowed to arrest people blantingly using drugs in plain sight, which typically is the start…

One specific fact
When I read Naomi Wolf’s latest poetic lament on our modern hell, I wrote a quick passionate assent to her main point. She was saying that demons certainly exist. I wrote that demons have always been about 1% of the population, but before 1980 they were kept in asylums and prisons. Now they occupy all…

Timeless
A timeless Twitter thread from Bhattacharya. Once upon a time, I thought it reasonable for public health to expect not to be contradicted. You know, *smoking is bad for you” and the like. But that idea was based on public health telling the truth about science. Post covid era, my trust they will do that…

Why did they choose Sammy?
Wondering why the regulators went after Sammy hard and heavy. Other bitcoin players of the same type, notably Sam Altman, are on top of the world despite engaging in equally slimy rackets. Sammy’s racket attracted rich criminals, carefully selected by his obvious location. Anyone who CHOSE to invest a million in a dubious venture located…

Hell freezes twice!
First Frisco, now even DC!!!!! The city of DC is starting to get serious about crime. = = = = = START QUOTE: The bill will make it easier for judges to order adults and some juveniles to be detained while they await trial for violent offenses, expand the definition of carjacking so cases are…

Demonic constant, fake variable
Oregon is recriminalizing hard drugs after decriminalizing for three years. This is a good move but as always with legislatures it’s a fake move. Constants and variables! Fentanyl is a city-ending plague EVERYWHERE, not just where drugs are decriminalized. Every city has the same genocide. Portland is no worse than Philly or Spokane or NYC.…
