Pew gets down to basics
Pew is examining news consumption in a basic sensory way, dividing it between eyes and ears instead of the usual press vs TV vs social media. Conclusion: Most people prefer to get information by watching reality, not hearing or reading. Live event, not verbal description. This has remained CONSTANT during recent decades as press and…

Nonbarking 9
One of those belated nonbark realizations…. I was thinking about the arrangements of school years. When I was a kid we had elementary 1-6, junior high 7-9, and high school 10-12. This was a fairly new setup. Before WW2 junior high was rare. Primary was 1-8 and secondary was 9-12. Secondary was optional, about like…

Nonbarking churches
Random stupid thought. Tech tyrants are WAY beyond megalomaniacs. They’re Gigamaniacs, Teramaniacs, Examaniacs, Googolplexamaniacs. Hmm. By a mysterious coincidence the two largest order-of-10 prefixes happen to be trademarks of the tech tyrants. Elon wants to own the universe and more. Altman wants to own the universe and more. Elon wants to buy out God so…

Nonbarking Italy
All substantial US auto companies had a Canadian factory at one time or another. Nearly all had England. Most had some combination of France, Germany, Holland, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Australia. Ford had a Russian factory, and GM and Packard had consultive connections with Russia. Ford had China in the 1930s. Willys was everywhere after…

Learning a bit?
I wonder if the mess at SciAm has influenced the other big “science” mags. The latest NewScientist, published on Nov 16, seems to avoid politics entirely. There’s a heapin helpin of Climate nonsense, but nothing at all about populists or authoritarians or fascists or “low-intelligence” peasants or Trump or Brexit. Measuring a nonbark is always…

Spartan nonbark
A cumulative nonbarking observation that got numerous enough to be worth writing. GEORGE BUSH’S 2020 MONSTROSITY caused businesses to STRIP DOWN and discard many of the features that made them more interesting and fun. When everything in the room had to be disinfected every night to protect us from witchcraft, extras weren’t worth the trouble.…

Nonbarking huff
Last year when Elon was making vaguely rightwingish noises, along with his usual random crap, thousands of big Democrats got in a huff and departed for allegedly better platforms. Most of them quietly returned after realizing there weren’t any better platforms. Now Elon has openly and officially joined the would-be Trump administration as an advisor.…

Nonbarking noise
I try to keep track of the “news” that DOESN’T appear. The noisemakers in “congress” have been playing their idiot “shutdown” game for the last two weeks, and NOBODY noticed. Neither “side” of the media bothered to treat the noise as real. “Congress” has been totally pointless for at least 40 years. Pure noise, no…

Biggest nonbark in history
Good article by Geoff Shulenberger, nicely reflecting my previous item. Shulenberger is also trying to analyze the weird cognitive dissonance on both sides about the “virus”. He also focuses on RFK’s manipulation of the activists. = = = = = START SHULENBERGER: When RFK Jr. began his crusade against childhood vaccination in the 2000s, it…

Saying it here for once
Somebody on substack asked ‘What if 1/3 of all history is lies?” Instead of answering there I’ll answer here. Written history is a lie by omission. The facts IN the books are often true, but the books leave out every event that would cast our side in a bad light. The books leave out the…

Bush nonbark
Noticed a really odd nonbark. Jeffrey Tucker has been painstakingly studying and writing about the origins of Trump’s “virus” torture camp. Without the slightest doubt the source is Bush, probably in 2005. It was a direct continuation of the anthrax “bioterror”, operated by the same unspeakably horrible devils. Bush got bored by anthrax and needed…

Then vs now
Vintage.es features some NYC photographs by Robert Bracklow around 1900. Bracklow was allegedly afraid of the dark so other photogs called him Daylight Bob. These pics show NYC as partly rural, with some actual farms in Queens, and many casual smalltownish business areas. Daylight Bob’s NYC is remarkably non-busy and non-congested. Only a few buggies…

Noncrowing neighborhood
Before 2020 I was doing several interesting projects. Building electronic stuff, making some real scientific experiments. Two years of NAZI torture used up all the energy. Now I try to dig into the same sort of projects but there’s no gumption left. The same thing happened around the neighborhood. Before 2020 many neighbors were growing…

Think about geography
One of the main authors at Curbside Classic has been posting selections of car-related pics from various cities, with a theme for each post. His latest is Detroit, the Motor City. I made an irrelevant car-related comment there, but the most interesting thing about these pics is outside of cars and houses. The skies are…

Substack nonbark
I’ve been trying to narrow down what went wrong with Substack when they changed to Notes exactly one year ago. Before that point, my comments and paid subscriptions often triggered a read of this blog. After that point, no reads. Substack has become a self-contained MLM, focused only on expanding its own superstars. What’s missing…
