So we’re having a Dogwood Spring some would say here in this part of the world. Early in the morning the ground frosts the edges of leaves and the bright taste of the cool air catches at memories of times passed.
Around us, despite our human scampering and musing, nature still does what it does so far, although some say it won’t always. The point would be right now, just for the moment, it does what it does.

It's bird flu season in Russia (time to kill all the chickens, for public health)
A poultry farm in Yaroslavl has been ordered to cull 800,000 chickens, as regions introduce arbitrary "public health" measures to stop the spread of "bird flu"

Catte’s Corner: Covid, virus theory & the painted goat
Catte Black
Imagine…A man has sold you what he claims is a black goat.
You take it home and discover it’s not a black goat at all, it’s a white goat painted in Dulux black emulsion.
You have two options to show the man deceived you so you can get your money back.
1. Prove THIS goat isn’t black, the man who sold it to you just painted it in order to defraud you.
2. Prove the longstanding theory there are actually NO black goats at all anywhere, just a lot of white goats painted black.…...

Blinded by the Next Great Thing
Todd Hayen,/h6>
I must be missing a chip in my brain or something. Why have I never been blown away by the advances in technology that attempt to replace humans? I mean, I am fascinated by the next great robot vacuum cleaner, or a car that will pick you up after you’ve had your fine cricket dinner at the Four Seasons, but my fascination dissipates quickly.
Cell phones, computers, and crap like that are interesting….but when I hear about AI art, robots, or synthesized orchestras, my blood runs cold.

Who really wants AI…and why?
TE Creus
I’ve noticed that self-checkout is taking over more and more shops and supermarkets. They have existed for a while, of course, but more as an alternative to reduce lines, but now many shops have exclusively self-checkout machines.
Yet, self-checkout appears not to be very effective or convenient, neither for shops nor for customers. Many customers tend to dislike self-checkout, as evidenced by the fact that there are always lines for human cashiers but none for self-checkouts. They give you the perception of more speed, but it is just illusory. Professional human cashiers scan and move your products…...

Notes to Poetry: Or, defending freedom for the future
Simon Elmer
Der Zauberlehrling (1797) is the title of a famous ballad by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a re-telling of an ancient Egyptian myth that was later put to music by the French composer, Paul Dukas, in his orchestral scherzo L’Apprenti sorcier (1897). The latter was chosen for the title of a text published in 1938 by the French writer, critic and philosopher, Georges Bataille, who adopted it to describe a lineage to which he saw himself heir, and which comprised the poets, writers and artists who, in both their lives and their works, sought what…...

REVIEW: The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis
VN alexander
In Martin Amis’ The Zone of Interest (2014), set in a Nazi death camp, the Commander, Paul Doll, has his wife, Hannah, and two daughters living with him in the “zone,” where the smell of rotting flesh from the mass graves functions as a persistent clue that things have gone very, very wrong in the world.
How did the German civilians go about their lives and continue to be human beings in such an atmosphere? That’s the question that must have compelled Amis to write this novel. While no sane person can fully imagine the answer…...

Death’s Secretary Tries to Forget on Cape Cod
Edward Curtin
We have come to Cape Cod for a few days to forget the man-made world that is too much with us. I have asked my forgettery to get to work. As my childhood friends used to say to me, “Eddy spaghetti, use you forgetty.” The adults had no idea what they meant. Many still do not.
Here slowness reigns and forgetting seems possible, even if for just a few days. In mid-May, the beaches are deserted except for the swooping gulls, the sandpipers prancing across the sand, and a few seals eyeing you from just off-shore. An…...

BBC Verify?
Iain Davis
With great fanfare, the BBC has launched BBC Verify. The state broadcaster’s very own, specialist “disinformation and social media correspondent,” Marianna Spring, announced its arrival live on UK TV.
She explained that the BBC would verify video, fact check and “counter disinformation.” So rest assured, no one needs to think about anything. The BBC will “fact check” everything for us and tell us what “the truth” is.
Apparently, it “really matters” that the BBC acts as the UK government’s official arbiter of truth because, according to Spring, “mistruths” can “cause really serious harm to society.”…...

"So the coverage of what is going on in Russia is poor because it is only covered by alternative (and therefore unprofessional) media, which completely avoid the issues of digitalization, vaccination, and the digital ruble.
I have to fully agree with Karine Bechet-Golovko that some “pro-Russian” Westerners want to love Russia “against” their own country, so to speak. As she said, when these people look at Russia, they want to see everything they can no longer find in their own homeland, and refuse to see the nuances of Russian society, which is quite complex.
I also agree that the basic human need to believe in something, to be sure of something, plays a role here. And so some Czechs believe in the myth of a perfect Russia, where the world is perfectly fine, because the reality that there is no salvation in either the West or the East is too depressing." https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/peace-has-become-a-dirty-word-in

I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks.

Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had… Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus.

Steps to World Rule: First, Destroy Humanity
Todd Hayen
It has always been astounding to me that people think for even a second that their government makes decisions to help the people—that has never been the case.
If a government’s decision helps anyone it is always an after effect…or an afterthought or a collateral unintended benefit. The primary intent is for power, control, and money…to satisfy individual pursuits and goals of the global narcissistic/god-complex elite.
Anyone (which turns out to be most everyone) who supports this and thinks their government, or their nation, is operating in the people’s interest is signing their own death warrant.…...
