Taibbi is learning
I’ve noted that Taibbi started with a highly naive attitude about the history of media and censorship, firmly believing that newspapers formerly “exposed the truth” and “afflicted the comfortable.” He also believed that censorship is aimed at WHAT, not WHO. He believed that censors were turning lies into truth and truth into lies. I haven’t…

Silly
Now that the warring lunatic oligarchs are reaching out to the moon again, astronomers are considering a standard time zone for the moon. The goal is to “streamline contact among the many countries”. Why? Astronomers have been using one time and date system for centuries, and computers use one time and date. Giving the moon…

Quantum broke metrology
As long as I’m ranting about Quantum Quackery…. Some of the antivax data-gatherers have bought into the virus cult’s demonic measurement system. They’re misusing “cases” to relabel ordinary illness and death as vax illness and death, just as the demons use “cases” to relabel ordinary illness and death as “virus” illness and death. There’s no…

Mismeasure
Continuing from the bank comparison in Math is Pope. It would be better to say that bitcoiners blindly trust arithmetic, not math. They don’t understand how numbers are used and misused, in real measurement or in programming. When comparing their Holy Grail with the Horrible Establishment, they blindly use the fake numbers provided by the…

Not extrasensory at all
UncommonDescent pointed to this video of cats in Japan anticipating a quake by a few seconds. UD speculated about P-waves vs S-waves, but it’s not that complicated. It’s just rednuht. During the ‘swarm’ of small quakes around here in 2000, the events were frequent and consistent enough to learn the pattern. It was like a…

whorfles
Now we have more “Chinese” UFOs. After I obediently gave Deepstate the snap reaction it wanted, I turned up my input filters and baseline sensors. This is clearly a rather low-quality fake THREAT, and the repeat is designed to create a new fake threat CATEGORY. Deepstate treats an ordinary and frequent object as a UNIQUE…

Two cities, six dwarfs
I was checking weather radar and noticed some rain around the Tri-Cities, possibly moving this way. As usual I tried to remember the Tri-Cities and as usual missed one. Kennewick, Pasco, and ….. Dopey! The Six Dwarfs would be a pretty good personality test. Which seventh dwarf is missing in your brain? I have Dopey,…

Can it happen?
Probably a stupid thought, but I feel like writing it down for my own thinking process. In previous item: = = = = = An outside thermometer tells us how cold it is BEFORE we go outside, so we can prepare. Online weather radar is an even better reporter. It tells us where the precipitation…

What is a reporter for?
Matt Taibbi is following all the bad rules of “journalism”, which are the same as the rules of Deepstate. Protect sources above all. Never reveal anything that your source doesn’t want to reveal. Well then, what the fuck is your PURPOSE? You’re not reporting, you’re just an unpaid (or maybe paid) part of Deepstate. You’re…

Reprint: Trying a question
Looking at Statcounter for the old blog, noticed several of my semi-regular readers are looking at this item about plant intelligence. I can’t tell if they’re mocking it or discussing it, but it’s definitely one of the better things I’ve written. I was highlighting and extending what Francis Darwin and Dorothea Pertz were saying in…

Is there a soul damage meter?
Continuing with good and bad assumptions… At the start of the “virus” hoaxocaust I assumed that the precise unison synchronization of NAZI TORTURE would continue. I assumed that Deepstate had blackmail power over ALL governors and mayors. This turned out to be partly false. Mayors were all NAZI, but sane governors in Dixie and Wheatland…

Waiting for Shannon
I’m following the latest “revelations” from Twitter. So far no Shannon, no actionable information. Deepstates know how to reveal without revealing, and spy agencies know how to test a defector who claims to be revealing. Is he telling us something we already know, either from experience or monitoring? Is he simply lying? Or is he…

The ice industry, part 5/5
Summing up: The ice trade journals from the ’20s show an industry starting to grasp its decline, and responding in predictable ways. We need better salesmanship, we need to work harder, we need to organize better. By 1933 the decline was heard in radio comedy. An episode of Mirth Parade (not online now) has an…

More pointless rambling
Reading bitcoin’s original code has helped me to think about the larger qualities of money and economics. As a former bookkeeper I already had a solid grasp on the vectors of creating and increasing value in an ordinary business, operating inside a functional economy. From this foundation, plus 40 years of real programming, I could…
