Quote I "Anti-social behaviour can ruin lives," UK Levelling up secretary Michael Gove
Quote II "All organizations that are not explicitly right-wing will over time become left-wing. John O'Sullivan
Quote III “I haven’t seen any evidence that the seal of confession has impeded the prosecution of domestic abuse or child abuse, [and] as a mother of ten children, I am very serious when it comes to the safety of my children, so I do not want to downplay abuse …our church has had a terrible history of abuse,” Andrea Picciotti-Bayer
Quote IV “The fact that we live in a city where they would rather fight someone that is doing something positive is what I find so disheartening,” Geoff Claus

A transgender woman has called for the dismantling of airport TSA screenings after she claimed an agent punched her in the testicles and 'yelled at me for having a penis'. The flyer posted a since-deleted selfie showing her sobbing in a bathroom stall following the episode, complaining that her 'balls still hurt so bad'.
'I don't want the TSA agent that hurt me fired,' she said in a separate post. 'I want her educated and the entirety of TSA abolished altogether.'
Carbon Unicorns are no more real than any other unicorn.
Faulty Credits Tarnish Billion-Dollar Carbon Offset Seller Renat Heuberger gathered his co-founders on a glacier in the Swiss Alps for a celebration. The half-dozen men behind South Pole, the world’s leading seller of carbon offsets, raised their beers around a crackling fire: Business was booming and the Zurich firm’s valuation was hurtling toward $1 billion, making it one of the first “carbon unicorns.” But the claims underpinning South Pole’s success have been losing ground like the ice underfoot that day two summers ago. The company’s biggest moneymaker is a mega-project in Zimbabwe called Kariba, which South Pole claimed has prevented the annihilation of a forest nearly the size of Puerto Rico. That’s South Pole’s business model: help finance projects that can credibly counteract rising levels of greenhouse gas, such as by stopping deforestation, and then sell the resulting credit to corporate clients who want to compensate for their own planet-warming pollution.

The following is a long read, but interesting with several topics about parenting and adult childeren.
‘Dad said: We’re going to follow Captain Cook’: how an endless round-the-world voyage stole my childhood In 1976, Suzanne Heywood’s father decided to take the family on a three-year sailing ‘adventure’ – and then just kept going. It was a journey into fear, isolation and danger … When we lived in England my days had a familiar rhythm. Each morning, my mother flung open the curtains in my room, and I tugged my school jumper over my head and pulled on my skirt before tumbling downstairs to eat cereal with my younger brother Jon. After school, we’d play on the swing in our garden, or crouch at the far end of the stream to watch dragonflies hovering above the gold-green surface. I was used to this rhythm; I liked it and thought it would never change. Until one morning over breakfast, my father announced that we were going to sail around the world. I paused, a spoonful of cornflakes halfway to my mouth. “We’re going to follow Captain Cook,” Dad said. “After all, we share the captain’s surname, so who better to do it?” He picked up his cigarette and leaned back in his seat. “Are you joking?” I asked. Next to me, Jon watched Dad, his lips parted. “Not at all,” said my father, puffing out a cloud of smoke. “I’m deadly serious.” “But why?” “Well, someone needs to mark the 200th anniversary of Cook’s third voyage, don’t they?” he said, raising his eyebrows at my mother. “Of course they do, Gordon,” said Mum, returning his smile. “I’ve told you kids about the captain,” said Dad, stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray. “He was an incredible man. The people who were going to recreate his first and second voyages didn’t get their act together in time, so this is the last opportunity.” “How long will we be gone?” I asked.

Disgruntled Amazon corporate employees are reportedly devastated after a top human resources executive shot down an internal petition that asked the tech giant’s leaders to nix its return-to-office plan. Approximately 30,000 workers had signed a petition begging CEO Andy Jassy to cancel his directive that most employees work on site at least three days per week. The return-to-office plan is slated to take effect on May 1. Beth Galetti, Amazon’s HR chief, shot down the petition in a message to organizers obtained by Insider and signaled that the return-to-office plan will move forward as scheduled. “Given the large size of our workforce and our wide range of businesses and customers, we recognize this transition may take time, but we are confident it will result in long-term benefits to increasing our ability to deliver for our customers, bolstering our culture, and growing and developing employees,” Galetti said in the memo.
Third world countries are falling further behind due to cooperation with the UN Clean Energy Demand Initiative. Sad. But completely predictable.
Last summer, we looked at the collapse of the power grid in South Africa. The country which previously had the most economically stable and prosperous government in sub-Saharan Africa suffered waves of unemployment and looting as its economy buckled under the strain. They’ve managed to put together some foreign aid to apply patchwork fixes since then, but there are still rolling blackouts taking place on a regular basis. This winter, however, the power grid problems are spreading in one of the more underreported stories of the year. Zimbabwe and Nigeria are now also experiencing near-total collapses of their power grids. People who still have jobs are having to work at night because that’s the only time there is stable electricity. Scheduled blackouts frequently last up to ten or even twelve hours per day, and both nations’ economies are tanking as a result. (Associated Press)Why does John Kerry hate black people?

March 24 (UPI) -- An 80-year-old Alberta woman who has been regularly donating blood for nearly six decades earned the Guinness World Record for the most whole blood donated (female). Guinness World Records said Josephine Michaluk, 80, began donating blood at age 22 in 1965, and in the years since she has donated a total 203 units of blood. A unit of blood is roughly equivalent to a pint.

Black people voting for the black candidate are inspiring, moral, and uplifting.
OTOH, white people voting for the white candidate are racist, evil, and no better than KKK members.
For both black and white voters, far-and-away the biggest issue is crime. For white people to be concerned about crime is racist, since crime is much worse in black neighborhoods than white neighborhoods, and why should white people care about what happens in black neighborhoods?

Berkeley school district explores giving cash payments to students with enslaved ancestors
“The need for reparations in response to the institution of U.S. slavery has existed for over 150 years,” school board director Laura Babitt said at Wednesday’s board meeting. “I think it’s time for Berkeley to be first again.”
...
Unlike in Oakland, the Berkeley school district is solely focused on cash payments to students.
“Slavery is an example where people’s labor was stolen, and it’s about time we pay that back, at least in part, at least what we can,”said Jennifer Shanoski, a Berkeley school board director who was involved in OUSD’s reparations program.

All of his works are worthy of reading and rereading.
For example, From Gustible's Planet is one of my favorite SF romps. Much better than the War Vixen Bride, which appears to be a mash-up of todays Army in a star-filled universe. I went to page 31 and bounced.
I may have some tattered paperbacks I could send you. The hardbacks stay here.

I found it very remote, and quite sad. Most of the work seems to be about individuals and a society completely shifted off their centers with no real place in society.
The Instrumentality of Mankind is actually a subversive organization, for all that it had complete dictatorial control over all things human, to recreate humanity to flourish again.

I hope it never gets that bad. The Instrumentality was established because mankind was collapsing due to so many other things to do. Living and having families became secondary. A contact with profoundly advanced aliens destroyed Mankind's nerve. The gaps were filled with modified animals, the Underpeople who were slaves and knew they were slaves, but loved humans and struggled in their own conspiracies to be free.

From November:
Zimbabwe has suffered acute power shortages for several years, as successive droughts have resulted in poor inflows into the Kariba Dam and as ageing coal-fired power stations have repeatedly broken down.
The government has licensed some independent solar producers to try to augment supply.

I just picked up a 1928 cookbook, “Frigidaire Recipes”, which I think was also a manual for the Frigidaire of the time. It’s clearly aimed at the class that (a) had to cook for themselves, and (b) did not have employees to watch the house. One of the benefits:
Frigidaire affords care-free refrigeration in that it is entirely automatic and dependable in operation. It is possible to go away for the week end or even longer without considering food supply.
That assumes, of course, a reliable power source. (It also assumes reasonably low-crime.)
People don’t seem to have any sense of what reliable power has meant for us in terms of freedom.

Fortunately, thanks to notable technological advances, Africa does not have to rely on large amounts of fossil fuel, as advanced economies did when they were at Africa’s current stage of development. There is the option to design an energy mix, built largely on renewable sources, that supports both strong growth and low emissions. Apart from ensuring an ecologically sustainable approach to development, investing in renewable energy will also generate new job opportunities (IMF 2019).
The right energy mix will allow Africa to develop rapidly while respecting the emission levels required under the 2015 Paris Agreement, in which governments commit to limiting global warming to 2°C above preindustrial levels.

The explosion is over judicial 'activism', actually more like Progressive Elite Tyranny, partially originated by Aharon Barak.
A good read is the transcript, ON SOCIETY, LAW AND JUDGING, Montesquieu Lecture 2010.
Israel was founded with two totally opposed ideas: one a Nation of Israel for Jews, the other as a Universalist Socialist Beacon to the World.
And yes, it's a battle for Israel. It's a big deal. And the US Gov't doesn't really need to get involved: there are plenty of Ultra Far Left 'Jews', many 'returned' from the USA, perfectly capable of pulling this kind of thing all by themselves.

He composed quite a few prayers to be used throughout the day:
On going to bed:
As my head rests on my pillow
Let my soul rest in your mercy.
As my limbs relax on my mattress,
Let my soul relax in your peace
As my body finds warmth beneath the blankets,
Let my soul rest in your love.
As my mind is filled with dreams,
Let my soul be filled with visions of heaven

And I've got good news to share, if anyone remembers, it's been a long time. 4 months after my radioactive prostate seeding my PSA is down from 2.8 to .4, I finally found that out after medical miscommunications.
It was stressful getting the actual info, stupid medical system. On the other hand and the bright side, my Dad told me about his grt grandfather, w/out me telling Dad about my prostate cancer.
Capt John Dysart, CW vet died at 65, Dec 30, 1899 just before the turn of the century, aged 65, of prostate cancer. So at least I have my grt grt grandfather beat as I'm 67.
It's a journey tho I guess, one I'd rather not be on. I'm not "cured" I'm in remission. Well this has all given me a different outlook on life.
I think I'm done wasting time on things I don't want to do, done. Want to see Dad at Easter, but the following Mon 3 old college friends and I are going to see ZZ Top. We met 50 yrs ago at ISU this coming fall.
I was only 17, the youngest, they corrupted me and I still love Rock and Roll. I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, this would be on it.

My dad developed prostate cancer when he was, I think, 60 or so. They seeded it and he had no problems from it whatsoever until the bastards at the old folks' home made him get the clot shot. Within a month, his cancer had spread to his bladder and then they decided he was too old to treat, so they let him bleed to death over about a month.
DO NOT GET THE DAMNED SHOT.
Ever. For any reason. You will outlive this cancer and it will not trouble you, unless you allow the assholes to run your life. No pun intended.
BTW, Dad was 92 when he died.

I remember reading that baxk then. I endorse all of it except the deer/traffic. In 40 years of Africa no one in my family ever hit any game (wild or domestic: horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, goats and sheep are domestic game found on roads). However in S Illinois I did manage to hit and decapitate a young deer whose head came through my windshield and hit me in the face. Totaled the car.

Officer asked if I knew why he stopped me. I kinda half-laughed and said "Because it's 12:45 on a Sunday night and you figured the only one out at this hour is someone coming home from the bar."
He said "No sir. You didn't use your turn signal back there." Then he asked after a pause "Have you been at a bar?"
I said "Since 3 pm. I'm a bartender."
He ran my license and said "Have a good evening Mr. Clinger" and sent me on my way with no ticket.

The litter stayed together and as soon as the females became fertile the males probably mated. However on occasion we did see the odd non-litter cat come to feed so they could have got pregnant by 'a traveling man'.

As it should be. Use of turn signals should be circumstance-dependent. The law in England used to be something along the lines of "thou shalt use turn signals in all instances where another motorist or pedestrian could benefit from knowledge of your intention". The other side of the coin is this: if, by failing to signal, you cause a collision, or force another motorist or pedestrian to take evasive action to avoid one, you are doing it wrong.
