Reg,

“Those people aren’t attacking Tesla dealerships. They are tourists showing love. I learned that on January 6th 2021” – FaceBook meme.

The memes should read: “We were for him before we were against him”. Or perhaps: “We have to burn them before we find out what’s in them”.

Robert,

By the way, Underwriter’s Laboratories was founded in 1894, 131 years ago. Hardly a short-term quarterly-obsessed business. Nor is anyone using their testing. People who like profit want things that work.

Robert,

What would be really anti-human would be to run ships beyond their sea-worthiness and sink hundreds or even thousands of humans and the life-suztaining cargo the ships carry.

Or if the shipping companies just cut the ships off in the oceans to be ‘ghost ships’ harboring disease-carrying carrion feeders, and letting the hazardous…[Read more]

One thing is true time and time again. Modern corporations and their CEOs have short term financial goals. They measure themselves by the quarter. Exhibit A, The “self-regulating” Boeing Company.

Nobody mentions that we actually need roads and good safe b…

Reg,

That Neil Degrasse Tyson video was fantastic, and the exact antipode and anticote to the goody-grinning nonsense of Francis Collins:

Richard Dawkins challenges Francis Collins on miracles

With a view of science like Francis Collins’, I shudder to think that this man was head of the National…[Read more]

Thanks Reg for the How Minds Change/McRaney video.

Would love to see the technique work against the hard core brain dead far right Trump cultists, orthodox anythings, lefty brain dead genocide, apartheid, colonialists. It is encouraging to think there is way to get through to such persons. From what little i heard sounds somewhat similar to a…[Read more]

Robert, Are you trying to out-Strawman Unseen? Reducing taxes and untaxing everyone and reducing government spending across the board isn’t “Trickle-Down” or “Trickle- Up,” but a Big Splash. And wouldn’t people of all classes be more resilient against disasters with more of their own earnings in their pocket?

Strega,

It turns all boats into racers and could power generators tapping it.

Big Splash = Tidal Wave

@Unseen – I shared out the first linked post again. Hopefully it will work this time. I can share 10 posts per month with my NYT account.

From the Atlantic photos:

“An Indian army cadet performs drills at the Officers Training Academy in Chennai on March 7, 2025.”
WTF. He’s training to attack a kid?

Robert, A government that kept to Constitutional bounds wouldn’t be worth billionaires buying it off because attempting to buy off such a government would be self-defeating for anyone wanting to accumulate wealth. By the way, accumulating wealth is how the poor stop being poor.

World of Woo: The dangers of digital media.

The dangers of any media without thinking. And why do the words of Rumi make a damn? Things can be true witout being “Necessary” or “Kind.”. And hey, Yassir Arafat was a Sufi too.

Fixed That For Ya.

Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!
