Jake,

A tiny amount of real sugar is better than sweeteners with the effects of erythritol mentioned in that article.

And although it is urban legend about Aspertame poking pin holes in the brain, Aspartame never tasted good to me or left me feeling good. Also, while Stevia has a good taste, those in the know have informed me it doesn’t bake as…[Read more]

Robert,

Nobody’s circle-jerking over Trump here. As for me, there’s more to life than Orange Man.

And as of this moment, Trump hasn’t yet pardoned Ghislane Maxwell, just said that he could pardon her and that no one has approached him about it.

And look at it this way: Everything Trump has done on delaying revelation of the Epstein Files…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

More on the 4 AM clubbers:

Most likely, what happened is they all received an e-mail blast from a Krunckt Kackling Kammie Fan Club mail server at exactly 4 AM and all of their Smart devices woke them up simultaneously.

A half-asleep Gia Prism then interprets this common phenomenon as the Universe “split” and rip in the…[Read more]

Jake,

I was mistaken about the source of the musical line. It was Joe Cocker who had the album called Mad Dogs and Englishmen, drawn from the Nöel Coward song of the same name and the song “The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen” by Leon Russell.

Hence, it…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

Woo comes in all stripes and flavors and here is yet another example:

Jake,

The line from Wordsworth, as well the line from Jethro Tull, were most recognizable. I studied English Romantic Poets years ago. Jethro Tull occasionally comes on local independent radio stations and I enjoy that when it happens.

The rest of that, though, was so disjointed. Laser-focus on one topic before you rant, those are so much…[Read more]

Jake,

Instead of sunscreen, perhaps less time in the Sun would be best. What are you on about, or all about, or just on? Pick your prepositional phrase.

popeBeanie,

All very good points underscoring why “All Natural=All Good” is a Fallacy.

The EU and our own home-grown MAGA anti-science freaks need to learn from Sri Lanka how costly and deadly that Fallacy is too:

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]

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]

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.

AI could provide vastly sped up analysis of drug interactions and side effects…provided, of course that it isn’t infected by Elmo Hitler. (By the way, would there be…[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.

Reg,

That sign is wrong on one point and only half-right on others.

Hitler didn’t start by blaming immigrants. The people he blamed for all the world’s problems were part of Germanic and European society for nearly 1000 years. Today’s Hitler would gladly bring in Islamic invaders if Germans didn’t want to do Krystallnacht.

Also, while Hitler…[Read more]

Jake,

Enco, Just like Jews they don’t want you. And that is a good thing. Islam makes it easy to join and deadly to leave. Imagine the world if all cultures kept their BS to themselves? Secular or theistic, the big disgusting ideologies seek converts. Commies. Maggots. Lefty’s. Christians. Muslims only want to take over the world and they are…

Jake,

Enco, this is kind of long but it is a pretty cool vid in which Yasmine Mohammed interviews a Druze Israeli. If memory serves the Druze lady here dispels a lot of lefty/islamist lies and about the culture and history of Druze.

A great video about the Druze in Israel and Yasmeen Mohammed has some thoughtful videos.

But I still didn’t see…[Read more]

Unseen,

This requires some elaboration, because if Jews lack free will (unlike antisemites) then they aren’t really responsible for their alleged crimes. I don’t recall Hitler or HAMAS saying anything like that. Quite the opposite, actually.

I doubt that Antisemites really think that they have free will either.

This is reflected in how the…[Read more]

Reg and Jake,

There’s a strip of I-77 heading towards Raleigh that is sponsored by the American Druze Society. It looked like a clean strip of road, but I didn’t see anyone working out there. I chalked it up to them being so discreet. 🤫😁.

Further along, there was another strip sponsored by Jains. I wondered then how that could even be…[Read more]
