Had me at “parole”…
Nikki Haley got another donation from me. She’s hopelessly hawkish on war, but she accomplshed ALL the right things as governor of SC. In a speech she mentioned that SC had been reliant on textiles, and collapsed when our robber barons sent textiles to China. She got revenge by attracting factories from Japanese and German…

Vague observation on usefulness
My courseware work is sort of half-time by average. 1. I put in roughly one year of fulltime work on a new version. 2. Then I sit back and let the royalties roll in for one or sometimes two years. This provides a constants/variables observation for my feelings when actually working and completing stuff versus…

Changed perspective
I’ve always resisted the notion that Trump is a weak leader, pulled and pushed by advisors. He looked more like a psychopath determined to cause maximum harm. A couple of recent articles, if they can be believed, are turning my diagnosis from psychopath to professional criminal, from Mad to Bad. This article says he misses…

Vultures
Paparazzi working for DailyMail are somehow spying on Elizabeth Holmes in prison. They caught her holding hands with her husband briefly, which is supposedly against the rules. GODDAMNIT, she’s trying to be a normal human, a normal wife and mother, and you’re preventing her. Vultures. Journalistic malpractice.

Rehankhilling, dehankhilling
Since March I’ve been doing longer neighborhood walks, inspired by Beatrix to reconnect the physical world. During the NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP period I was restricting walks to one standard path, operating in SIR! NAME RANK AND SERIAL NUMBER SIR! mode. Also, my walking capacity is much longer now after cutting down on carbs, inspired by…

Not crude, just dumb
Via DailyMail: = = = = = START QUOTE: A CNN segment discussing the impending prison sentence of disgraced biotech entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes took a strange turn, when a guest went rogue… Larry Levine, who is described as a ‘consultant who assists prospective inmates transition to prison life,’ was invited on to discuss his predictions…

Good prison
Reading the DailyMail account of Bryan federal prison where Holmes is starting her time. I’m impressed! Bryan is a GOOD PRISON, doing pretty much everything the right way. = = = = = START QUOTE: New inmates normally spend their first three months working in the kitchen, which is considered one of the most demanding…

He says what I say
Arthur Brooks gives the best possible job advice. This is especially important for Uncool people who are NOT going to get satisfaction from the social side of life. Brooks emphasizes COMPLETION: = = = = = START QUOTE: “Maybe you’ll work in your major — probably not. Maybe you’ll land your dream job — probably…

Better argument
I haven’t bothered to notice the moon-landing theories until now. I saw no convincing reasons to doubt the conventional story. Now the former head of Russia’s space agency asks several questions based on his own experience and knowledge. 1. He was thoroughly familiar with the condition of cosmonauts. When they returned from a long trip…

Good question from Sailer
Sailer asks a damn good question: = = = = = START QUOTE: The massive deinstitutionalization of the 1960s–1980s is now widely considered a blunder, but why did it seem like a good idea at the time? We need to consider why progressive reformers in the English-speaking world turned as fervently against lunatic asylums in…

Trust the gut
Last night I found the four ‘banned’ Blogspot posts that led me to switch over to WordPress. I republished them here, then immediately had bad migraine/vestibule trouble. So I unpublished again. Old prison advice: Don’t look back. At any rate, running through the four items verified that they didn’t contain any unique opinions or information.…

Chief Trumpiac
Reading the full story of Chief Pontiac’s famous lacrosse game. There’s a lot of nasty stuff that didn’t get into the usual history. Pontiac was ready, willing, and able to do anything and everything, and had a unique talent for spine-chilling horrible torture. The next day, the Indians rooted Henry from his hiding place. For…

Bitcoin = pot.
3/19 was my jail anniversary, so I was thinking about the process as usual. New click: The bitcoin movement of this decade is IDENTICAL to the hippie movement of the ’60s. High-status influencers advertise the stuff and sell the stuff under CIA auspices, while pretending to be against the government. Alienated youngsters buy the stuff,…

Personal superstitions
I pay attention to personal superstitions because they’re actual learnings. The old leftover fake superstitions are just tools for Cool People to mock Uncool People. Incidentally, I cited the “bird flu” superstition in the linked 2005 item, which turned out to be prophetic…. or more likely I was seeing the start of the “bioterror” holocaust…

Wrong word, same advice?
Randomly noted in a Reddit topic of ‘useful quotations’… How to survive in a tyranny: Keep your mouth closed and your eyes open. In 1969, Warden Copley gave the new intakes his standard speech. Imagine Edward G. Robinson as a gangster and you’ve got Warden Copley. I heard him say: Keep your mouth closed and…
