China’s cheating, it’s all crammed forcefully into one timezone, Beijing’s!
In far western China in winter, it could be noon and the sun is barely rising over the horizon. Then in summer the sunset might be at around 1am. - Comment on two sides 23 hours ago:
Bible studies! Starring an obsessive compulsive, petty, grudge-carrying narcissist who died a virgin and of old age!
Remember when baby bush was governor of Texas, and a woman on death row wrote asking for clemency, from supposedly “one born-again christian to another”, she had become a christian and wanted to remain in jail, helping other inmates.
Remember bush’s response, in front of reporters?
He mocked her, going - “Please don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!” - in a shrill voice. And this asshole fancied himself as a devout christian.That’s exactly the sort of posture Newton took as the head of the Royal Treasury or Royal Mint or whatever it’s called, a forger facing beheading or the gallows.
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 2 days ago:
A court system packed with right-leaning and downright right-wing judges, rammed in there by hook and by crook with “party over country” appointees.
Remember Merrick Garland? A name made meaningless by the non-voting masses in 2016 and unbelievably, again in 2024. Every time the republicans dared risk themselves by cheating while either packing or blocking the court system, the dire consequences they were dealt was… re-election. Nothing happened! They were REWARDED for their CHEATING!What is WRONG with these non-voting people?!!

- Comment on What happened near Spokane in BeaconDB? 2 days ago:
Sometimes the radar weather in other areas will glitch out, I’ve seen a large swath of digital dots spread like a fan all over some cities. The image refreshes every couple of minutes, I believe, usually the glitch goes away after a couple of cycles.
But what is glitching and why?
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 2 days ago:
Ah, so now Schwarzschild is driving the trolley!
Or maybe he’s coming to stop the trolley!
Or maybe Feynman is coming, to renormalize the infinities!
I really don’t know anymore! Aleph nought, Aleph omega… go away, come again some other… perhaps infinite… day. - Comment on 5 days ago:

- Comment on Who got raptured today? 1 week ago:
Then every time the rapture doesn’t happen, it’s like these people have an integrated Memory Reset Button, so they don’t have to PUSH and modify their beliefs and superstitions, I mean… god forbid, that would require… (shudder)… making an effort.

Take psychedelics, why not, go for it.
Put lasers near your eyes, absolutely.
But never, EVER, take psychedelics

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of how an observer is inextricably intertwined with the object/particle being observed, as part of the framework for the equations to flow, so to speak.
Then there’s the fact that Newton’s equations assume an infinite speed of light, until physicists of the 19th century that pinned it down, then Einstein established it as a constant.
If you try and use lightspeed at the atomic level, many values blow up to infinity, the math stops working, the answers become like static.Recently I found out that Schrödinger’s famous equation is written in the framework of classical, newtonian physics, not in quantum terms. Like using a star screwdriver to flat screws, yet it seems to do an admirable job up to a point. And you have a whole lot of infinities to sweep under the rug and ignore, what is it called, Normalization or Renormalization? One of the two.
It’s all incredibly complex and abstract, the numbers being measured by the guys in the lab were strange to the point of absurd, and if you think it’s weird for us now, imagine how they saw it then.
So yeah, the math says that the observer is not passive from afar, the observer is part of the equation itself of what is trying to be measured.
Then the closer you look, the blurrier things get, like a greased pig you can’t get it to hold still, not even for an instant, particularly at the smaller scales, things don’t behave the way they do at our sensory and mental level. Things behaving as if going backwards through time. Particles and anti-particles popping in and out of existence. Particles transforming into other particles. Particles going through walls. The list goes on and on and on.Weird stuff has to be conjured up to try and make any sense of this.
Light or electrons as amplitudes of probability waves. Axes of imaginary numbers, eigenvalues in Hilbert spaces, wave-particle duality, etc.Reality is extraordinary, it will keep on always surpassing our expectations and imaginations. It just keeps on happening this way, wherever we poke at.

Now that you mention it, there was an old shoe repairman in my town, among other knickknacks he had a piggy bank on a shelf, but it was like a bust of JFK, and the coin slot was right where Oswald supposedly “acted alone”.
But le charlee kercke is like scraping the bottom of the barrel on that political and cultural scale.

So what does one do with such items? Is there a collector’s market for merch sold on the grounds upon whence le charley kirke died like he despicably preached for others not himself?
“It’s the tee-shirts and caps from where there was a shooting! Somewhere in 'Murica!”

Because somebody had to wipe that smug retrograde smirk off his face, that’s why.

Arguably, there’s a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn’t seem like one.
Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative
