For the last few years, Grace and I had a regular soak in the hot tub every Saturday afternoon. I started the tradition because a hot soak helped her arthritis, and making it one of our activities was the only way I could get her to do it regularly. Grace actually did much better on a schedule; left to her own devices she would eat, sleep, and everything else whenever she felt like it, which tended to aggravate her health problems. But if I woke her, served dinner, etc at regular times it was much easier to keep her various issues under control. Keeping up our schedule after she died has helped me not to sink into depression, but there are a few things, our weekly soak among them, which were just so closely associated with her that I haven’t been able to do them without crying. Well, a few weeks ago I started the weekly soak again; I’m finding it relaxing as long as I have an edible before going in. And as long as I stay stoned from then until bedtime, I don’t cry as much after I get out, either.

It really doesn’t even take burning books to change a culture, it just takes stopping good people from reading them. – Arlene Kasselman
Note that cases of actual coercion don’t look much like the myths:
A woman has filed a lawsuit against an Atlanta church…[because] she and others were trafficked and forced to work in inhumane conditions after being recruited as young ministry students. The [offenders include] the Atlanta Dream Center Church and its affiliated Pentecostal Christian denomination Assemblies of God, among others…“K.D.”…joined the church’s Atlanta School of Ministry in 2014 to train as a missionary…[bu]t she and other young students were instead forced to work unpaid catering events, live in dangerous environments, and were given moldy, expired food to eat…“Young, vulnerable individuals…were recruited nationwide with promises of missionary training, only to be systematically isolated, manipulated, and coerced into providing unpaid labor at sporting events, conventions, and corporate gatherings across the country.” The woman…was twice sexually assaulted during her time with the church, once by a pastor and another time by a guest…the pastor…threatened her life, saying “she ‘would not make it to her 21st birthday’ if she ever left his control”…
How a country treats its prisoners reveals a great deal about it:
Nationally, more than 6,000 people are held in [so-called] sex offense civil commitment…the states that run such programs [pretend] they’re focused on rehabilitation, [but in reality they are simply]…a thinly veiled way to warehouse people instead of treating them. Such programs…[are] stacked with draconian release conditions….[and] do…not prevent sexual violence…the system is a way for politicians and elites to respond to [moral panic over]…sexual violence…while still refusing to acknowledge…that strangers do not perpetrate most sexual violence…Minnesota holds the highest number of people in the system per capita, while California has the most overall. The systems’ populations also balloon due to their low release rates…
The open internet is rapidly becoming a thing of the past:
Discord has added a new age verification system…as “an experiment” …currently active in the UK and Australia in response to recent [censorship laws]…users may be asked to verify their age when encountering content flagged by its [autocensor], or when they try to change their settings to [circumvent the autocensor]…The user will be given two verification options. The first asks them to scan their face…and…the o[ther]…to submit…a photo of an ID document (such as their passport or driving licence)…Discord says age verification is a one-time process, but that if…the…[algorithmically-determined] age group is incorrect…they can try to verify their age again, either by using the same [flawed and error-prone] process or [by] opting for a manual review…Australia’s…ban…[on] social media for [people] under 16…is still to come into effect…In the UK, [censorship agency] Ofcom has [demand]ed that all websites wh[ich a bureaucrat has pointed at while belching “]pornographic material[“], including social media platforms, need to add “robust” age-checking…by July…if other countries follow suit with similar restrictions [non-VPN] users in those countries can expect to face similar [spying]…
Surely you didn’t think they’d be satisfied with only threatening librarians and teachers:
A [new “mob rule” censorship] bill [in]…Texas…could have serious implications for small businesses…HB1375 [encourages] individuals to sue [under the absurd premise that people can be “]harmed[“] by [books if a politician points at them and barfs out the word “]obscene[“]…
When Ambulance-Chasers Run the Hospitals (#1517)
The claims in these nuisance lawsuits are increasingly absurd:
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier [has launched] an[other nuisance]…lawsuit[, this time] against Snapchat, based on [utterly ridiculous claims about magical] predators…“Snap is deceiving Florida parents about the dangers children face…from [magical teleportation] features…allowing sexual predators and drug dealers access [to kids’ bedrooms”, barfed]…the AG[, moronically adding]…“We’re gonna hold these people accountable” [even though it is Uthmeir, not any corporation, who is accountable to Florida citizens]…The attorney general [also waved his dick around while drooling pap about “]addictive design features[” despite this being psychological nonsense. He also bragged]…“We’re going to be putting these bad guys away” [even though a lawsuit is a civil procedure, not a criminal one]…
Medical privacy will soon be a thing of the past:
The National Institutes of Health is [sic] amassing private medical records from a number of federal and commercial databases to give [Trump henchman] Robert F. Kennedy Jr….[ammunition in his] effort to [ban vaccines using a bogus] study [of] autism…[this] will allow…researchers [specifically] picked [to produce the “findings”] Kennedy…[wants] to obtain…medication records from pharmacy chains, lab testing and genomics data from patients treated by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service, claims from private insurers and data from smartwatches and fitness trackers will all be linked together [in violation of HIPAA, to create]…a new…registry…to track Americans with autism…Kennedy’s [flying monkeys lied that there]…would be…”state of the art protections” [for] confidentiality…
Sleeping with a cop is one of the most dangerous things a woman can do:
A Miami [cop] was arrested…[for attacking] his wife [while drunk]…Christian Vladimir Sanchez [drank an entire bottle of rum and then fell down]…in the shower…[before trying] to make sexual advances on h[is wife in front of their young daughter. After]…she refused…he…demanded that…she leave their home and…give him her cellphone…Sanchez then got on top of her…and [beat] her…[while] demanding [the]…phone…she…eventually freed herself…and fled…Sanchez has since been released from jail on…bond, but [was also rewarded with a paid vacation]…

A War By Any Other Name
Posted in Current Events, History, Tyranny, tagged fascism, illegal aliens, politicians, propaganda, psychology, racism on April 25, 2025| Leave a Comment »
The 19th century was the peak of traditional warfare; weapons technology had improved so much that by the early 20th century, war went from battlefield strategy to mass carnage. Then Hiroshima changed even that; rulers now need new forms of war that don’t risk destroying them along with the peasants. So far, economic war, propaganda war, and “cyber” war seem to be the leading forms. And people don’t seem to have grasped yet that just because these forms don’t involve people being blown to bits by the tens of millions, doesn’t mean they aren’t as dangerous to nation-states as 20th-century war. For too long, the US has allowed presidents to engage in military adventurism without Congressional benediction, devastating the countries targeted by such warfare and funneling untold billions into the coffers of “defense” contractors. And now Congress is allowing the mad emperor to engage in an economic war which has already destroyed the liberal 20th century world order and has set fire to the US economy; will it finally act to stop him when he progresses from sending pseudo-soldiers to attack some Americans to sending actual troops to fire on Americans en masse?

The chicks are done with their first week in the playpen, and so far so good; they seem comfortable with the temperature (something I always worry about the first couple of nights they’re out there) and the hens are mostly ignoring them, which is a good thing. In less than two weeks I’ll be letting them out in the daytime and only putting them in the playpen at night, and after three weeks of that they’ll be living with the others. I think it will probably go well this year; all the adults we currently have are well-behaved and calm of temperament, and I’ve caught the chicks picking on the turkey, so I think they’re spunky enough to hold their own. At least I hope so; heaven knows I could use a trouble-free spring.
