Why Bluetooth Is Bluetooth
Why Bluetooth Is Bluetooth

And yes! As odd as it is, Bluetooth got its name and its symbol from King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson. At least that is what fact checkers say.

That's What I Do

That's What I Do. I Read Books. I Drink Coffee, And I Know Things
That’s What I Do

Yes. That’s what I do. I read books of all sorts. I drink coffee in what most would consider improperly copious amounts. And I know things, things both sublime and uplifting and things dark, noisome, and soul-staining.

Ahh, Carnivale

Ahh, Carnivale

One of the two great advantages and blessings of an adult life largely spent traveling the whole of the world – minus Antarctica because I turned down that job because I’m never going to spend 6 months trapped on a ship with “scientists” and their grad students – is experiencing, and very occasionally taking part in, other Peoples’ celebrations.

And, in all my travels, Carnivale is my #1 favorite by far. And, by that, I mean every iteration and variant of Carnivale across the Western Hemisphere.

About Pluto

We Don't Talk About Pluto
We Don’t Talk About Pluto

Yeah, we don’t talk about Pluto being a planet or why it was “reclassified” as a Dwarf Planet. It’s highly frowned upon amongst the “intelligentsia” to do so and even more derided among the Liberals and Progressives, who will call one some variant of “knuckle-dragging science-denier.” Nobody is supposed to talk about how in August of 2006 a mostly European conclave of accepted masters of the astronomy, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), needed to make a new definition for planet so that an American wouldn’t be credited with discovering Planet X.

And, for the many of you that don’t know, Pluto was just collateral damage. The IAU’s exuberance of Humpty-Dumptyism was aimed at permanently refuting the discovery by and American of a planetary body past Pluto.

Demoting Pluto May Have Been A Very Bad Idea
But Maybe We Should Talk About Pluto

Accepted by so many, secular science and scientism aside, the effects of this choice and insult may just be more far-reaching than the vast majority of people want to understand and internalize. I mean really? You can’t look back and see what’s happened – and at what pace! – to the world since 2006 vs. what was happening before then? 😉

Anti-White Justice

Posted in Politics, Society on August 1st, 2022
Today’s Justice Is Anti-White Justice

This is state of “justice” in today’s, anti-White, #Woke America. Four worthless, misborn Black thugs beat a White teenager to death while shouting racial slurs, and a grand jury won’t even return an indictment on murder charges for it, despite the thugs being arrested for murder and felonious assault. Nor did either the state government of Ohio or the US federal government enter hate crime charges against them.

Hell! This brutal murder wasn’t even news and never made it to the national stage… because it doesn’t fit the #SocialJustice narrative. But, you can be damn sure that, if 4 White men beat a Black teen unconscious and then kicked him in the head till he died, it be the number one headline for weeks, this grand jury lesser indictment would spark riots across our nation, and there’d be both murder and hate crime charges flying.

Of course, insofar as federal hate crime charges are concerned, this is both expected and normal. The DoJ doesn’t even cite an attack by a non-White on a White in the rather extensive official list of Hate Crime examples. In sickening point of fact, I can’t find a single instance when the DoJ has filled a hate crime charge against a Black even on the rare occasions when state prosecutors have done so.

It’s pretty damn apparent that hate crimes legislation is just like civil rights legislation. They were never meant for the betterment or protection of Whites. So, since #Woke justice is anti-White justice, Whites need to protect themselves and each other. And let none among us gainsay how we each go about doing so.
