Tuesday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Another violent weekend in Chicago.  Where to academic man?  The trans laws.  SUVs are superior to small cars.  Woke Hollywood needs to be stopped.  The religion of the left.  Your morning meme.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Canadian universities and BLM.  I wonder if Justin would take his children to this? Satanic themed drag show for kids.  Ottawa trustee hates Christmas.  Apparently some Canadians still love Trudeau and fascism.  They are coming for the children.  Justin’s fake security bulletin.  The Liberals wanted winning messages.

Fascist China News:  Chinese colonialism in the Pacific (CBC).  I wonder how much the bribe to the Liberal Party was?

Woke Britain:  Are all left wing activists crazy?  The zero green taxes.

Today In Islam:  Some good news in Iran. (JW).   The difference between meat and women (JW).

China Virus News:  The trustworthy scientists in Wuhan.

The Sound Of Settled Science

Men are from Mars, Octopi are from Venus.

In 2023, despite our advances in technology, the ocean remains as mysterious and impenetrable as ever. So it’s both surprising and unsurprising that scientists have now found underwater ‘cities’ constructed by one of the ocean’s most alien-looking inhabitants: the octopus.

It’s been understood for some time that octopuses are intelligent animals, and they are thought to have roughly the intelligence of a three-year-old child.

There’s something about their bizarre, fluid forms which captures human imagination, and they may even have some understanding of anatomy.

If you get the chance to watch the documentary “My Friend, The Octopus”, take it. (Sorry — correct that to “My Octopus Teacher“. Thanks, dizzy!)

back in the halcyon days of the 90’s, a young bill clinton played to perfection a certain form of crisis/criticism response:

deny, deny, deny, it’s old news.

the goal was simple: you lie and lie and lie some more. you do not expect to get away with it in the long run. you expect to get away with it long enough for people to stop caring and for it to become “old news.” and unfortunately, it works. well. because humans have the memory of goldfish and by the time it’s clear you were telling porkie pies, everyone is onto the next thing and no one cares anymore.

the modern version would seem to be:

it’s misinformation, it’s misinformation, it’s misinformation, it’s old news.

Passing of a Southeast Saskatchewan oilfield legend

Drill, Baby, Drill 11 Comments

A few years ago the Weyburn Oil Show Board created a new honour called Southeast Saskatchewan Legends. There are a number of people who, over several decades, were key players in building the Saskatchewan oil industry. Many of them started and operated not one, but several oilfield service companies, and coincidentally, almost every single one of them farmed on the side. You could call them “serial entrepreneurs.”

Ron Wanner of Estevan was one of the first to be honored as a “Legend,” back in 2017. He started wheeling and dealing surplus oilfield equipment, and ended up having a trucking company, an oil company, a drilling rig and a service rig company. He passed away a few days ago. He also had a policy of buying long-term employees their own vehicle after a certain number of years. I remember around 2010 he bought a Hemi Challenger SRT/8 for the engineer who successfully built his oil company from nothing. This is his obituary, as published in Pipeline Online. They don’t make many like Ron Wanner anymore.

Biden’s America:  Hillary funds eco-terrorists.  The treason of the clerks.  Kamala Harris is a Joe Biden fall away from becoming president.  Mostly peaceful eco-terrorists.  Criminal justice in Biden’s America.  Our NATO allies.  Your morning meme.

China Virus News:  Big medicine buries it’s Covid history.  The Covid Nazis.  No forgiveness for pandemic sins.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Justin’s CBC warns us not to upset the drug addicts.  Trudeau will be outraged about the oil sands deal in Alberta.  Mandate CBC as Trudeau’s mouthpiece.  After solving gun violence last week, our Dear Leader will solve wildfires today. Expect an increase in the carbon tax and a rant about global warming.  And please remember, diversity is our strength.

Today In Islam:  Just a normal Muslim teenager having fun (JW).  Biden celebrates Pride, except in the Muslim world.   And wedding culture in Egypt (JW).

Yes, But Do You Have Them In Brown?

Forward! Military 3 Comments

At which point, I’m tempted to ask how these target percentages relate to any actual expressed interest or aptitude – say, among school-leavers – or to any tactical utility, according to which an unusually high number of women and racial minorities would somehow confer a military advantage. Or are they, as seems to be the case, entirely arbitrary?

When brownness and womb-having are priorities for the Royal Air Force.

Embrace the minefield!

I, Napoleon Insufferable Twits nannystate 24 Comments

For a societal problem that is alleged to be so deeply ingrained as to be nearly intractable, it’s surprising to find out that employees of the City of Winnipeg can liberate themselves in about thirty minutes.

The course provides a great overview of the importance of using gender-inclusive language and looks at how misgendering, or using the wrong pronouns, can feel and shares best practices for avoiding misgendering going forward.

Biden’s America:  Old Joe bamboozled the TV networks.  The Chinese spies in Alaska.  As expected the media covers for Biden.  Teaching gender diversity in Iraq.  The real reason Biden fell.  Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill.  A history of hate.  Your morning meme.

Today In Islam:  Dutch art fair director cancelled.  This week in Jihad (JW).  The cheap bikes in Holland.  And Sweden builds a mosque (JW).

Woke Britain:  The Covid Nazis.  The trans Nazis.

Trudeau’s Canada:  It’s gay sex season.  Is Canada the new Mexico?  Justin’s CBC explains that drug stores are racist or something.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Buses

Alternative Subsidy More Money Than Brains 33 Comments

Where I come from, we call this “gettin’ an education”.

Emile Lauzzana, the environmental sustainability director of Michigan’s fourth-largest school district, recently told the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education that the district’s electric bus fleet has had “a lot of downtime and performance issues.” […]

“We’ve been learning a lot about this technology,” Lauzzana also said. “Electric buses are approximately five times more expensive than regular buses, and the electrical infrastructure, which was originally estimated to be only about $50,000, give or take, for those four buses ended up being more like $200,000.”

Lauzzana explained the district attempted to utilize “Vehicle to Grid” interconnection, which helps push energy back to the grid when buses are not being used, but that the “technology was not working.”

“I will say that I have a number of colleagues in different states who are facing similar challenges,” he added, noting the differences between electric cars versus buses. “For the school bus market, it’s been challenging for us.”
