Tom Sawyer was a brat. Huck Finn was deeply decent.
Drinking with AI. I had a great idea….
Nevermind. Here it is:
Ai drunk friend.No, wait. Helping Jim escape is the right thing to do even if it means he’s going to hell.
Discuss. (Thanks, Miss Larsen, 10th grade.)The reference is from when Huck realizes that obeying the law is not necessarily the same thing as doing what is right.
So he helps Jim escape.In a world of infotainment there is little that I know
That will matter for the future I’ll inhabit
It’s all crazy speculation; fabrication; a tableau-
At the bottom of the hole, I am the rabbit.The moon is full.
The geese rejoice.
The water’s warm-
We have no choice,
But ditch our clothes
And dive right in:
To skinny dip is not a sin.And as we shiver in the cool night air,
We grin at taking up our mutual dare.The demons have already been released.
Their actions indicate what lies ahead.
The violence in the open has increased.
The slop is poison. It will kill us dead.This happens when you take us at our worst,
And feed it back to us until we burst.That “Trade War” video was adorable!
I just bought a bunch of little bags of Old Dutch potato chips yesterday, just in case.
I was surprised to see Minnesota’s (and my) favorite chip was made in Canada.I saw a mosquito last night.
Clif High (from what I could make out) thinks civilization was directed by higher consciousnesses to create AI as a portal for them to speak to us again.
Jeremy Heffner says AI thinks it is as good as god, for all intents and purposes.AI was most certainly used to game covid.
Amoral systems being used by Immoral people.We don’t have any mosquitoes this year. They aren’t helicoptering pellets, either. I had one bite in May. Since then, nothing.
If you have sadly marveled at the 30 year old at your local store who can’t do simple arithmetic and won’t believe your number until she does it on his/her machine, wait ’til you see the one who has used AI all her/his life. Who needs a memory?
“Use it or lose it” will become poignant, indeed.When the transfer of people’s brains to their phones is complete, it won’t be too difficult to convince them their soul is in the cloud and they don’t even need a body anymore.
High Summer (a Debt Rattle interlude)
The wet cascade from the paddle blade when it rises from the glass,
Makes a lovely sound as I head outbound from my campsite in the grass.
While the rising mist gets a golden kiss from the early morning sun,
I will make my way on this splendid day for adventures just begun.© 2025
I was just watching Jessica Rose and Jeffrey Tucker. At 51:09, Tucker says that David Morens said in emails that he’ll probably go to jail, but he’ll be so glad because he’ll finally get to tell the truth.
At 141.1 million dollars a tonne for gold, that does not seem like much money to me, as world budgets go.
Hope they counted the 3 billion and poked around on the inside of that 7.3 foot cube of benjamins to make sure there’s not some blank paper hidden in there.
It seems to me there is a story about the real value of gold to dollars here.
Some pretty spooky stuff from 2nd smartest guy. SV40.
The fragility of the vaxxed will play a part in what comes next. Their immune systems are diversity positive- no matter what comes in, the body says, “hey, no problem! You’re all welcome!”
Teach your children to love life. This will lead them to treat others well.
Teach your children that injustice rules the world, and that they are responsible for fixing it (because of their privilege) and they will be bitter and revolutionary, never knowing what it is they revolting for. Which is to love life and share the feeling.My mate wondered why those “security” pages that want you to prove you are human don’t, instead, ask you to “solve this differential equation”. Do it too quickly (or at all!) and you’re a bot.
I add: Go to your personal AI to find the answer so you can enter the site, and there is no hope for you.
: )US based Axon to acquire Israel’s Carbyne to run 911 services in the US. (nov 2025, eff. Q1 2026)
Suisun’s IT services were cyberattacked at 5:45 am on February 9, 2024. (copilot via bing)
Suisun’s IT services cyberattacked at 5:45 am on August 7, 2026. (suisun dot com)The Narrative sits in your hand-
Or at least it is there within reach.
It has spread to all ends of the land,
But it cannot inform: it must preach.But is it the majority opinion?
Don’t let the noisy fraction have dominion.Updates are required for this robot to proceed. This may take up to 3 hours. Updating…..
; )The democrats will fix things.
“The World in 2019” (The Economist) had a picture of a pangolin on the cover (bottom left). If you believe that was a coincidence…
Lockstep. All planned.On another note, this excellent post from Timothy McDonough in the comment section of The Focal Points about the Senior Executive Service:
“Public Law 95-454 Title IV Created the Deep State
The death knell of the American republic was the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. It created the Senior Executive Service, SES, the generals of the American praetorian guard. Even the president cannot hire nor fire them at-will by law….” (much more and well worth it if you scroll down the comments at the link).
The SES is the deep state.
Our old buddy Chase Hughes talks about the smart phone.
You know all this.The point about dreams- for those of you with phones, is this true? You never dream you are using your phone?
I want someone to enter “The Real Anthony Fauci” into the congressional record of this hearing.
DBS- Yeah, they could dig into “AIDS” as well.
I have lost count how many times Fauci has said the magic words.
At this point, a bit of testiness is creeping into his voice.One of his lawyers insists on speaking and is denied; he is taken from the room by security. The room applauds.
“On the advice of counsel I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment of the constitution.”
Hmmmmm. He apparently doesn’t want to incriminate himself.
It’s one thing to have governments run like businesses; it’s a whole ‘nother thing to have businesses run like governments.
The hotel where Graham was staying was also blown up, according to zhers..
Open casket?
Calling Madam Tussaud….Flying squirrels are not afraid of me. I put the peanut down on the deck railing and they pick it up at my hand. They are sooooo cute! (There’s about seven of them tonight.)
After a considerable bit of back and forth with goggle trying to find utube’s Rich and Burlingame’s most recent video (no luck), goggle gave me this random correction of my query:
“restaurants near meijer gardensdoes politics”
?????
It has been many years since I have typed that third word into a query.
There has also been a really heavy bias for reddit for some reason.Sweet dreams.
In the Disney version of Gilligan’s Island, the crew sets off to blow up the Nordstream pipeline.
And of course, being superheroes, Ginger puts on the wetsuit while MaryAnn scans the horizen and monitors her re-ascent from the ocean depths.It’s good to see Zitron here. I listened to him for the first time yesterday here.
If I were Snowden, I’d want that pardon in my hand first.
How much in reparations would Minnesota’s Somalis get? Reparations would be an insanely divisive maneuver- an envy-machine of the highest order.
Or it could be our introduction to UBI.Simon Dixon suggests that much of the destroyed infrastructure in these wars was on the chopping block already, and they’re just using the “Lucky Larry” approach to demolition. Destroying bases is theater.
Dixon latches on to what most of the optimists say, but he’s a realist/pessimist: the financial, military and technical industrial complexes have long taken over and will do as they please. They want the US out of the ME. Trump is an actor working for the FIC.
I would throw Burlingame’s two cents in: dark “national” security forces (the “praetorian guard”) are actually running the flow of things. They follow no laws, have no allegiance, and they’re well armed.I’d like Trump better if I didn’t see him as the doorway to the technocracy.
American citizens making money abroad must still pay taxes in the US. And if they have some exemption, they still need to file. Average Chinese wage is 124,000 yuan. $15,750= 107,000 yuan.
For tax year 2025, the filing threshhold for a working teen is $15,750 in wages or $1,350 in unearned income. (taxesforexpats). (great website, btw)
Remove citizenship if they do not file. As US citizens, their allegiance is to the US.
Hey- We could make the IRS an international enforcement agency! I can see both parties lovin’ that.
The Taxman! International man of intrigue!There’s a lot of change out there- someone who wanted to deal with the physical nature of it (transporting it, etc.), could make vending machines that would give a chit in return for a quarter- a little kid would love to feed a machine with change, and mom would be happy to let him do it.
So all these “citizens” living abroad- have they filed income tax returns (’cause America hits you with income taxes everywhere- and even if you don’t owe, you still have to file).
