Adding another shared quality
On this morning’s walk I was thinking about dogs and vacuums. Dogs abhor a vacuum because it ruins the olfactory universe in the same way that Picasso and Pollock ruin the visual universe. An entity that sucks up familiar and remembered senses and spews them out in ugly chaos is NOT AN ARTIST. Such an…

Agrees with observation
Pew has an interesting observation about social media use in various countries. Among the countries with good data, Germany is the least ‘social’ of all. Only half of Germans use social media regularly. Only India is lower, but that could be because overall web connection in India is sparse. This agrees with what I’ve noticed…

Reprint on assertion/insertion
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. From 2019, presaging the “virus” holocaust that implemented the methods tested in Skripal. = = = = = START REPRINT: From another piece of the Integrity dump, a document called ‘Discernment Paper’. First paragraph: In face-to-face conversation and debate we learn cues for assessing the reliability of someone’s argument,…

Good news from Pew
Pew did a survey of Tiktok users to find out who is writing and who is reading. They found that the top 25% of users are responsible for 98% of all the content. The other 75% basically never write or contribute. The Pew headline made this sound alarming, but in reality this is HUGELY ENCOURAGING.…

Nonbark rules
A sequence of related rules, from specific to general. 1. You can tell who’s in charge by noticing who can’t be criticized. 2. Professional criminals and psychopaths always blame and frame innocent people for the crimes committed by the criminal. 3. Deepstate tricksters always blame and frame every possible cause EXCEPT the real cause for…

Nonbark brainless
The Repoof pretense of “impeaching” a cabinet official is so far beyond the event horizon of absurdity and brainless triviality** that nobody is noticing it! Meanwhile, “speaker” Johnson, who looks just like Newt’s lesbian sister, is vowing to do it again now that it abysmally failed the first time. Normal humans are definitely waking up…

Nonbarking Bobby
Just carrying on my tradition of noting nonbarks. RFK hasn’t been in the news at all for at least a month. Substack, formerly dominated by his supporters, has nothing about or from him. His last entry in his own substack column was Dec 11. Looking at politics as a stupid outsider, now would seem like…

Simplest nonbark
Mattingly writes a sharp and witty piece on Canterbury’s hugely unsurprising full approval of same sex marriage. He talks about quacking ducks and nonbarking dogs, pointing out that 75% of the Anglicans in the world are in Africa. They’re in communion with Snowbird God who happily retired to Africa where he’s surrounded by people who…

Label nonbark
It’s clear that Israel is the Current Officially Exciting Topic, but oddly Youtube and Twitter haven’t yet peed on it. All other Official Topics get marked with an Official Warning Label when the algorithm detects a mention. The “virus” hoaxocaust, the 2020 “election”, and the “global warming” genocide get heavy warning labels. Nothing yet for…

Ad campaigns
Advertising campaigns were named after military campaigns for a good reason. This 1933 Chevy movie was not for public consumption. It was solely sent to Chevy’s 4000 dealers. It trained them to handle a year-long campaign with every detail carefully pre-planned. The film is ‘highly produced’, unlike the usual drab filmstrip. It uses original music…

Nonbarking bailout
The Biden administration is sending 40 billion to corporate landlords to convert unused office space to residential apts. The purpose is important. No argument there. Thanks to Amazon’s destruction of retail, we need less office space. Moving residences back into downtown is a good trend. Many developers are already doing it without any gov’t help.…

Crime Nonbark
Just in time for the mayoral “election”, Woodward is claiming to make progress against crime. = = = = = START QUOTE: Property crime is down nearly 15 percent downtown through three-quarters of the year while overall crime is down more than 10 percent. The Violent Crimes Task Force has arrested more than 150 of…

More failed marketing
It’s easy to observe that nothing is changing if you listen to what the politicians SAY. But if you watch what they DO, or more importantly what they STOP DOING, some changes are definitely underway. The broadest change is Powell’s switch from QE/ZIRP to QT/PIRP. All media and politicians HATE HATE HATE this switch because…

Unsurprising but interesting
Every negative feedback system needs an error detector. A new study pins down the neurons responsible for detecting a wrong sound associated with a habitual action. We know that the phone gives a dial tone when we pick it up. If the dial tone is missing, we know it’s busted. We know how the toilet…

More complete story
A new documentary on Sammy fills in some gaps and explains motives better than previous articles and films. The narrator pays special attention to Sammy’s use of the Effective Altruist monsters as an advertising gimmick. Nonbark: The film pays very little attention to the details of bitcoin because Sammy didn’t care about the details of…
