Chulrins getting promoted to grades without being able to read is an old story. Still, I heard this on the morning radio: https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/2087941561388527867 These are seniors. Yet somehow they can't write down something that is given to them. There are a few reasons for this. One of them involves a bell curve. The other is … Continue reading Johnny can’t read…Still

There’s no magic dirt
Caught a story on Zero Hedge about third worlders doing third world things: “They throw all their garbage out of their windows. We are living in literal shit. We never asked for this.” No one should have to live like this. No one should have to live like this is the line of the century … Continue reading There’s no magic dirt
So what?
Found on Woodsterman: No shit. It never has. Minimum wage was never meant for the breadwinners in a family. Those are mostly miserable jobs that are a powerful incentive to better yourself. For me, back in the day, it was to pay for books, gas, fast food, and beer money. And who are we talking … Continue reading So what?
Who’s building all these damn datacenters?
I was listening to a bit the other day on the morning news talk show here on the radiobox about the data centers being built here. A lot of complaints. Which is funny, because I see pro-Texas datacenter ads all the time on the YouTubes. Most of the complaints are misguided. Fact of the matter … Continue reading Who’s building all these damn datacenters?
Send them back
A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth is happening over the Supreme Court decision that temporary means temporary and the administration can cancel temporary protective status for a whole ton of people. I have a pretty calloused attitude about this. Most of them should've never been admitted and many have been enjoying life on … Continue reading Send them back
On some level, the system works.
Karmelo Anthony was found guilty. Of course he was. He did it. He admitted to doing it. A conga line of 21 witnesses, a handful of them black, said he did it. Their stories (all similar) told a far different tale than the one the rabble outside was telling. Even the witnesses supposedly on his … Continue reading On some level, the system works.
Better square your preps away here
I'm really bad at noting something I find interesting so I can write about it later. I saw a poast somewhere in my blogroll about one of the things no one is thinking of with the middle east war. Oil. Like for your car. Industrial lubricants. I saw a great reminder today though on Tam's … Continue reading Better square your preps away here
I’m dubious.
Datacenters are the newest NIMBY (not in my backyard) things, as if they were a gasoline refinery. On some level, I get this. What's hyped is they'll suck up all the power, they'll grab all the water, all for a addition of jobs in the single digits. That last one, I believe. The others, notsomuch. … Continue reading I’m dubious.
Don’t know what to think
Don't know what to think about this Iran shitshow. The one thing I'm certain of is we're being lied to from both parties here. I'm not as rah-rah as many. Why? Netanyahu has been crowing that Iran is weeks away from an A-bomb for 25 years or so. Why is now any different? After the … Continue reading Don’t know what to think
Found this on Divemedic's site. Another cluster-b specimen has something to say: https://twitter.com/i/status/2016984697247777222 Can they talk without the chicken hands? This is a classic example of what causes peak crisis in a 4th turning. This woman never learnt, let alone forgot, the hard lessons her grandfather and great grandfather had to learn, painfully. She's certainly … Continue reading
