GOVERNMENT MATH ISN’T REAL MATH:  QotD: Austerity versus “austerity”.

I KEEP THINKING OF THE BOOK “THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE”:  Guest Author: Dr. Simon Goddek on the Reality in Europe Today.

The problem is their media lies even more than ours, so they think we’re more controlled than they are. The arguments I get into when I visit….

A SOUND AROSE AS THOUGH A MILLION CHOCOHOLICS CRIED OUT IN ONE VOICE: Take my money.  Cocoa Piles Up At Ivory Coast Ports As Buyers Face Cash Shortage

I knew that, because only leftists and foreigners think that the American right is the same as the hard European right. It’s stupid, and insane, but they think they know this.

IT’S ONE OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS YOU CAN DO:  Threatening to Prosecute Your Opponents When They Give Up Power Is a Bad Idea.

SOMETIMES I THINK THAT I’M NOT SO MUCH A WRITER, AS A THING WRITING HAPPENS THROUGH:   The Stars in the Sky – Free, complete Short Story.

I mean one minute I’m writing along and the next minute a Spatine appears. What the heck is a Spatine? Eight hours later I have a short story and just as much writing in notes on what Spatines are as a branch of the Space Force of Britannia. Also my head hurts. I’d just very much like to know why me.

ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST FOR INDIE AUTHORS TO THE RIGHT OF LENIN:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

I CAN VOUCH FOR UNIVERSAL HATRED OF 11:  Pinker has been plugging his book on common knowledge lately, and it just collided in my head with another interesting development; the apparently growing revolt against Windows 11 among long-term Microsoft customers. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m pretty sure that one of the things that Pinker must talk about in it is sudden legitimacy collapses in totalitarian societies.

But as a non-techy, I don’t want Linux. The rest of the family has gone thataway, but for me the computer is a glorified typewriter and I don’t want to fiddle with it.

HER IGNORANCE IS ONLY MATCHED BY HER UNPLEASANTNESS:  Ilhan Omar compares Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to Nazis in Germany as she lashes out against Somali immigrant crackdown.

Once more, Ilhan, the Nazis were so far from throwing the Jewish people out of Germany, they kept them from leaving until they could kill them. Sheesh.

NO. ALSO NO:   Greenpeace Asks a Dutch Court to Reverse an American Verdict. The group wants to use European law as a shield to disrupt American infrastructure projects.

AS ALWAYS I DOUBT THAT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER:   Trump signs executive order creating food supply chain task forces to address ‘anti-competitive behavior’.
