Reg the Fronkey Farmer

Reg,

Google users are less likely to click on links from an AI summary result.

They’re probably scared of confronting an Elmo Hitler leading a Legion of African and Asiatic Waffen SS.

I asked DuckAI how many people have died from the food dyes that RFKJR and the MAHAs like to rail against. It mentioned conditions correlated with food dyes, but…[Read more]

Reg,

Environment: What’s the place of ‘new genomic techniques’ in organic agriculture?

Another redundant term thrown into the mix.

All things domesticated for consumption by humans lo these past 11,000 or so years are “Organic” because they are Carbon-based life forms, and they are all “Genetically-Modified Organisms” whether by selec…[Read more]

Recently i wandered lonley as a cloud by the boat launch awaiting a day of luxuriating in squamous surroundings under a beating sun. Get it done. Apply that high factor sunscreen liberally. Start near the ants. Work way to face. Open eyes and shields of youth known as eyelashes and eyebrows fail me. Into the right eyeball. “oh fuck me that stings…[Read more]

Thanks Reg 🙂

Have a great week!!

I rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Nine minutes long, if you don’t count the last two minutes of the video…[Read more]

Daily Beast interview with Michael Wolff, about Trump and a couple of his female staff. Eleven minutes:

Cluster B people are known for being thin-skinned: “emotionally unstable”, “impulsive”, and “intolerant of perceived slights or insults”.  If you’re a narcissist, you’re perpetually at odds with and competing with everybody; and human beings are not competition machines, we’re not built to cope with that, so it hurts personally when someone…[Read more]

I thought of this months ago but didn’t express it, but Kinzinger does it better anyway. Trump, et al, is the new cancel culture. Trump himself, is the thin skinned King Snowflake now.

4 minutes:

Not worth a new topic, so I’m putting it here.

PopeBeanie,

The examples you cite are all perfect examples of Medical AI done right.

Unfortunately, I suspect that “Free Palestine”-ers and lazy cartoonists who make three-fingered characters have evidently hijacked all the AIs and produced all the FUBAR scandals that have come from AIs lately.

Right now, for the moment, I am also simply…[Read more]

MEIDAS TOUCH
(Trigger warning, pendulum swinging back to Lefties?)

I start this youtube video several minutes in, leaving 7-minute out take:

(I still hate the hyperbolic headlines, but they’re successfully grabbing lots of clicks. These guys are headed toward a million subscribers.)

Reg,

I’ll be the first to say that there need to be private alternatives set up side-by-side with attempts to scale back bureaucracy, not just a willy-nilly tearing things down.

@Enco – This is just another day of government plodding with a different boss.

I can’t make a very strong argument against that. But this time, while it is a different boss, it is also a new form of plodding. Collapsing the FDA will be a mistake. Reforming it should be the priority. It should have happened a lot sooner, but meaningful reform can…[Read more]

Reg,

Collapsing the FDA is also domestic terrorism.

Color me unterrorized but very disgusted. This is just another day of government plodding with a different boss.

Look, all they have to do is see that products are not dangerous when used as prescribed. Effectiveness is something that takes trial and error to determine and that should be…[Read more]

Reg,

Yes, but it is still the contents page from the “How to become a Dictator” handbook. The extreme right are all wrong.

Doesn’t make it Gospel (and, of course, The Gospel is not Gospel.). A book that doesn’t get it right about Hitler can’t possibly be any help in understanding the nature of tyranny.
