Little fact buried
Unlike previous galaxy-size item, this one is extremely local. Via Spokesman, the VA hospital in this neighborhood is going through some management turmoil. The hospital is a huge facility, dominating the skyline in this quarter of town. It looks like it could handle several hundred patients, and I always imagined it was handling massive numbers…

Beeyond beelief but true
A Redditor made a video of a bee depositing a LONG chain of stuff, and wondered if it was royal jelly or some other special concoction. Nope, it’s just poop! Amazingly, bees are perfectly housebroken. They never shit in the hive. They hold it in during bad weather. When it’s time to open the door,…

Another official reason
Continuing yesterday’s theme of fake official reasons…. Seen on Reddit, a former Minuteman missile operator has built a web resource to listen and track the network of messages going to missile sites. The messages are coded but the transmissions are openly audible on SHORTWAVE, 11175 KHz. According to him the network itself isn’t secret, just…

Y beaches and mountains?
Just figured something out. The COOL people only like mountains and oceans. When COOL people show pictures of places, it’s always grand vistas of rocks or blank beach and ocean. I’ve never understood why these things are interesting. There’s nothing to see, no plants or animals or houses or creeks. Beach is plain white, ocean…

Backward definition of rogue
Headline seen at RealClear: Math formula predicts when AI agents go rogue First thought: Well, that’s dumb. No formula needed, they’re rogue by definition and intention. In programming terms, if Exists(agent): GoRogue(agent) Second thought: No, this misses the meaning of rogue. In normal life a man goes rogue by breaking his contract, an animal goes…

Heimatkunde test
Seen in the Zillow Gone Wild section of Reddit. It’s in Junction City, deeply familiar territory to me. Looking at the first pic, it’s just a well-kept typical tract house, nothing special. Typical Kansas cliff behind it, again nothing special. I used to climb cliffs like this, made forts, dug fossils. Wonder why it’s so…

Could temper my hatred
I hate NYC. It has bombed the country many times to enrich the rich. Wall Street has done INFINITELY more damage to us than Japs or Krauts or Saudis or Russkies, especially since the Russkies never even tried to attack us. But a few more articles like this could temper my hatred! This short piece…

Same apocalypse, different investors
The AI demons show a casual and happy attitude toward technically driven apocalypse. They discuss 10% odds in the same way that a horse bookie discusses a 10 to 1 long shot. Bettors love the long shot, which is why tech demons and horse bookies chatter about it as foreplay. See bridge-jumper. New thought: We’ve…

Not as simple as I thought
Somebody on substack mentioned the Episcopal tradition of painting the front door red to symbolize the Holy Spirit and a place of sanctuary. The sanctuary idea was big in the Vietnam era when Anglican and Unitarian churches were preaching peace. Especially after Nixon won the ’68 election and tainted the war with heretical Repooflican branding.…

Pullby date
I was posting a link to an older animation on substack. I thought “well, at least they can be sure it’s human-made by the date on the GIF.” Ping. That’s why the bots only “read” material at least 3 years old. You’d think they should prefer the latest news and trends, but they stay firmly…

It’s just Parkinson
Carefully planned arson seems to have halted after the big fire paid off the bet on Farinacci, but we still have the usual intentional fires from homeless vagrants. And the demonic “city” continues to catch and release so the criminals can continue ruining the world. The motivations of the criminals are mixed. Some are crazy,…

Now we know!
I’ve been wondering why so many of the arsonists appear to be working on a contract. Some are just flatout crazy or trying to gain a better life in prison, but others act like they’re on a mission for an employer who expects results. Now we see! = = = = = START DEMON: Visit…

I guess it’s more candid
Ideally: Laws should apply to all people and all companies. Don’t steal. Don’t kill. Don’t defraud. Don’t evade taxes. In practice: Most laws apply to one type or class or religion or political party, or one of two competing companies. The traditional method is sneaky. When you see weird-looking exemptions and requirements in a law,…

Pay structure
In school we “learned” a list of alleged propaganda methods. None of them were real. The list itself was propaganda to distract us from real propaganda. One effective REAL method is distorting verb aspect, treating a permanent or habitual process as something new and unknown. Weather becomes CLIMATE EMERGENCY! Flu season becomes VIRUS PLAGUE! Corruption…
