Jake and Reg:

Reg, sounds like Hossenpfeffer talking.

Is all this just a sophisticated, science-y-sounding way for her to say: “Don’t Mention The War!”

PopeBeanie:

Samoans, I’ll look into that, thanks. More RFK epidemics to come… I wonder if he knows the small pox vax connection to cow pox.

83 measles deaths in Samoa from RFK Jr’s hyping of anti-vax sentiment in 2019.

That same anti-vax sentiment is at work now in the present U.S. measles outbreak. Ground Zero of the measles outbreak in the…[Read more]

Anyone notice this story?

The reckoning is coming.

I hate to say it, but that man killed himself for nothing, since Trump is reckoning on seeing what kind of deal with the Ayatollahs and Mullahs he can make for a Nobel Peace Prize, whether the world is at peace or not, and regardless of how many…[Read more]

Reg:

Surely you didn’t pay for an AI subscription to tell you that time doesn’t exist!

PopeBeanie:

I largely agree, although it must be said that there is environmental benefit when farming with less chemicals, and advancing integrated pest management (IPM). If I had more money to spare, I’d be paying more to support those farmers.

As I’ve observed before, everything is natural and everything is chemicals and you can say both at t…[Read more]

World of Woo: Raw Milk.

Basically, when you drink raw milk, any air-bourne, water-bourne, ground-bourne, and carcass-bourne pathogen that contacts the udders comes with it: e coli, salmonella, trichinae, listeria, wisteria, cryprosporidia, ghiardia, H1N1, and other viruses, bacteria, and microbes.. Definitely not the Milk of Human Kindness,…[Read more]

Jake:

I would disagree with Auerbach’s statement that Classical Liberalism led to Antisemitism in France or anywhere else.

Rather, pre-existing Antisemitism shape-shifted to adapt to the new cultural milieu. The platform switched from the Church to mass media and Academia. The rationale switched from Theological irrationality to…[Read more]

Jake:

Ackshually, it’s de rigueur, as Count De Monet would correctly say, though being from the Pre-Enlightenment, De Monet would agree with that sentiment on Jews:

Reg:

Crunchy Moms are only asking questions.

I think I found the methodology that RFK Jr. and the Crunchies use:

They post The Healing Web poster on the wall, then throw noodly appendages of The Flying Spaghetti Monster against the poster to see what sticks.

The Healing Web

The Healing Web

Is time a…

One of millions of awful recollections.

And nowhere could there be more antisemitic “words, incitement, propaganda, jokes, accusations, and indifference” than today’s United Nations.

Good thing the memories of the survivors live outside of that monster on the East River.

Fellow Unbelievers:

Because there are fewer people alive to remember it and would be repeaters out to take advantage of that lack of memory.

Older i get the more sour i become. If we simply examine the predominant contemporary ideologies of the far left and far right you are either ignorant or a moron if you fall in either camp.

In USA if Trump makes you feel confident in his leadership and capability you are a moron. It ought take only a minute or two when he is at his nadir…

Jake:

Those labels might be applicable to Trump but it does not negate the essential feature if my guess is correct.

It should not be a badge of honor to be an atheist. Nor is it some feat of ratiocination to be an atheist.

This is true. Atheism is only lacking in one specific irrationality. Others irrationalities need ditching as well…[Read more]

Jake:

So wouldn’t it be prudent to conduct experiments in which people identifying as trans pass those tests? Seems like validation would have multiple benefits. Where is Autumn to rip me a new asshole for a stupid query?

I think Autumn ran away after I told her to fuck off after she called me a bigot after I defended Jewish students on New Y…[Read more]

Jake:

Don’t forgot Trump also abandoned the Kurds. And i think it was Trump who got US out of Afghanistan which enabled the Taliban to be purely Islamic and the consequent suffering and misery to follow.

Afghanistan was the end result of four Administrations dithering about it starting with Bush, going through Obama and Trump 1.0, and ending w…[Read more]

Jake:

There’s some of that fake sympathy for the Iranian people already, even without blaming the Jews. Starting with Trump. Not only did he posture and hem and haw while Iranians were being slaughtered, but now he’s feeding more in to the meat-grinder:

Trump Is Deporting Iranians to a Country That Will Kill…[Read more]

Jake:

Just some heart-warming news to be aware or not…

More like blood-curdling than heart-warming. The Islamic Republic is a human slaughterhouse.

Never mind Panpsychism. Is there UN-psychism, Woke-psychism, Peacenik-psychism, MAGA-psychism, Trump-psychism, Media-psychism, Academia-psychism…

Reg:

Another thing about food recommendations:

The committee saw a number of papers in Hispanic, Black, and Asian communities where dairy wasn’t a prevalent part of the diet, whether due to lactose intolerance or cultural food preferences. DGAC suggested changing the language to make dairy an optional, not integral, part of a good dietary…

Reg:

Panpsychism is an attempt to avoid “consciousness from nothing” by baking mind-like properties into the foundations of physics. That is almost like an argument for Creationism. For me, consciousness is an emergent property, not a fundamental physical property. It is not present in parts that can be assembled. In the same way that water mol…
