Issues Of Earth-Rumbling Import

The question “what is queer food?” is, we’re told by Professor Elias, “a question that’s coming up a lot lately.” If only among academics desperate for an angle, an excuse for claiming a salary and wasting other people’s time. Academics much like Professor Elias.

Elias said she does not have a definition for what “queer food” is, but wants “recognition” it exists.

Welcome to the bleeding edge of human mental activity.

Quite how one can write “an illustrated guide to queer food,” complete with recipes, as Professor Ilias has, while simultaneously being unable to define what such a thing is, should it exist, is a question I leave to the reader.

At Boston University, where annual tuition is $90,000.

Now is the Time at SDA When We Juxtapose

Modern Day: The intellectual genius, Cea Weaver, who is now advising New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani about housing policy, has been attributed with the following quote: “I think the reality is that for centuries we’ve really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good and …. transitioning to treating it as a collective good toward a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently and it will mean families, especially white families, but POC families who are homeowners as well, are gonna have a different relationship with property than one that we currently have.”

November 9-10, 1938: Kristallnacht was carried out by the German Nazi Party. I can’t take credit for the following quote, but a good friend of mine made this comparison: Isn’t what Cea Weaver has said comparable to a Nazi knocking on the door of a Jewish family in the 1930’s and saying, “We’re here to insist that, from this day forward, you have a different relationship with your property!”

AI and Public Healthcare

What can possibly go wrong?

Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson- The Government’s Obsession with Artificial Intelligence and Tech

Streeting has framed the NHS as under enormous pressure from chronic waiting lists, staff shortages and outdated systems, saying the service is “broken” and needs reform alongside investment. Introducing AI and digital technology is a key part of his efforts to transform the NHS into a more digital, modern, and efficient system.

Reality Bites

Doomberg is a podcaster on financial markets whose insights I find quite valuable, although I have yet to understand why he covers his face with a green chicken cartoon. At the 14 minute mark in this interview he gets into the economics of energy and how that’s going to affect the outcome of the war in the Ukraine. In a nutshell, it’s not looking good for Zelensky.

“…once the Ukrainian counteroffensive of 2023 was defeated…it was very clear that this had converted to a grinding war of attrition and Russia was always going to win that war….I’m shocked by this…western techno-arrogance…[Russia] is not a gas station masquerading as a country. It…has a strong manufacturing base, excellent energy resources and a long history of marching east to west.”

 

Math is Hard

Back in November 2025, the Washington State Department of Ecology and Washington State Department of Commerce published some statistics about how much carbon emissions have been reduced because of the programs they’re spending millions of taxpayer dollars on.

One little problem: Their numbers were off by 9,500 per cent.

Due to a data entry error, Commerce reported that 7.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced as a result of eight rebate projects funded by the CCA that support home electrification and appliance rebates for low-income and vulnerable communities. The corrected data now estimates that 78,000 tons of emissions will be reduced over the lifetime of those projects.

Sunday On Turtle Island

China Carney’s Canada:  What Carney should have said.   He doesn’t want to upset his Islamophobia advisor.

The Democratic Party’s America:   A moral blackmailing of America.   The failed State of Minnesota.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:   A recruitment drive.  Famine in Somalia.  Evidence of Myocarditis.  Britain is facing Islamic conquest.  Begum back in business.

Your morning meme.    Another meme.     A cartoon.

The Sunday Hymn.
