Down The Primrose Path
Amazing The NYT, along with the WPost, first hunted down and exposed the alleged leaker of “The Discord Files,”™.
Now, somehow with exclusive control over the documents, are using them to repeatedly suggest the US must send still more weapons and other resources to Ukraine.
In the replies: No doubt The New York Times has an explanation of why their photo of a malte kreuz on a military vehicle matches the one used by the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich and not the Bundeswehr of the Federal Republic even though it disappeared when Nazi Germany lost the war in 1945.

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC
For Display Purposes Only
In art news:
The decision to adorn what was once the Women’s Museum with a, shall we say, transitioning figure, this “nourishing man,” is likely an attempt to comply with prevailing fashions regarding those individuals who are somewhat at odds with their physical selves. A trans-friendly gesture. Or, as the museum puts it, somewhat coyly, a sign of “gender inclusivity.”
It occurs to me, however, that a man being given large doses of cross-sex hormones and subsequently developing facsimile breasts isn’t going to lactate anything remotely nourishing for a child. Given sufficiently high doses of female hormones, and given sufficiently zealous pumping, some men can be made to secrete a substance from their nipples, albeit unreliably and in very limited quantities – but the resulting discharge is of no nutritional value to an infant.
“The most striking technological breakthroughs often come from the most unexpected sources”.
“That is why Apple, not IBM, perfected the personal computer, why the Wright brothers, not the French army, invented powered flight, why Jonas Salk, not the British National Health Service, invented a polio vaccine, why Amazon, not the Post Office, invented one-click ordering and why a Finnish lumber-supply company, not a national telephone monopoly, became the world leader in mobile telephony.”
Another good one from Robert Graboyes.
One more time, wind utterly fails in Alberta at supper time
At supper on Friday, Alberta’s wind power fell to 7 out of 3,618 megawatts, or 0.19 per cent capacity. Again.
The Devil may have gone down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal, but he went to Alberta, instead, to steal their wind. At supper. Again.
But hey, SaskPower intends on adding 3,000 megawatts of additional wind and solar to our grid over the next 12 years. And Steven Guilbeault figures the “social cost of carbon” should be $247 a tonne (previously posted)

Tonight we return to the 1920’s to see what people back then predicted about the future.
Your best recent news tips should definitely be shared here!

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it…” *
Anheuser-Busch InBev has changed marketing leadership for Bud Light in the wake of controversy over the brand sending a can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney with her face on it.
Alissa Heinerscheid, marketing VP for the brand since June 2022, has taken a leave of absence, the brewer confirmed, and will be replaced by Todd Allen, who was most recently global marketing VP for Budweiser.
Heinerscheid did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
Smaller fish: The Regina YWCA deletes a tweet.
Update: “A boulder in a lake…”

Lithium for all!
In a move which can best be described as channeling Salvador Allende, the government of Chile will leave no stone unturned in its quest to turn a growth industry into a decrepit organ of the state.
The shock move in the country with the world’s largest lithium reserves would in time transfer control of Chile’s vast lithium operations from industry giants SQM and Albemarle to a separate state-owned company.
As is usually the case, central planners are late to the party:
The announcement by Chile did not trigger a reversal in lithium prices which as we noted previously, have plunged more than 70% from a November peak due to weakening EV demand in China, the world’s biggest auto market. The most-traded lithium carbonate futures on the Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange in China fell 3.4%.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
The scenes were amazing from the recent fire on the Steuben-Allegany county line. A massive wind turbine was on fire, hundreds of feet in the air, black smoke billowing out of the blaze.
It was obvious that the turbine was destroyed and the fire burned out after being on fire for hours. What wasn’t obvious was what the fire was burning into the wind … fiberglass.
