Mitch the Bitch
I'm willing to commit on it. Mitch McConnell is NOT a Republican and therefore should not register or run as one. He's a solid Rhino, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a bastard with absolutely no morals or positive convictions. Mitch should eat shit and die.

Warms My Heart - There Is Hope
Farmers everywhere are protesting the WEF/UN/EU's move to starve 7/8th's of us to death and are meeting with some success. So happy to see. I'll be even happier when Klaus is hanging from a tree, hopefully tarred and feathered with the tar on fire.

Joni Mitchell
Joni Mitchell, just caught her singing at the Gershwin Prize broadcast March of last year. She would have been 79. I have not heard her sing since the 70's, she is fat now, but it sure hasn't hurt her voice, did a rendition of Summertime and The Circle Game, velvety butter-smooth voice, she definitely will never require pitch correction, absolute perfect pitch. Still has her beautiful long blonde hair, but her voice has only improved through the years.

JONI MITCHELL sings SUMMERTIME and THE CIRCLE GAME. A triumph! Gershwin Prize tribute, March 1, 2023

For those who don't want to see the entire show, here's the best part of the Joni Mitchell Gershwin Prize broadcast - her triumphant return to the stage perf...

The Fauci Hagiography issue was bad enough, but the current 02.204 issue's article with Dr Paul Offit's lies on behalf of the Vaccine Industry are the final straw in our willingness to subject ourselves to your product's narrative maintenance at the expense of Truth.

Many doctors, researchers, and actuarial studies are now proving the COVID MRNA vaxes are killing more people than they (may have) saved, many of whom are young healthy athletes dying of heart failures.

History will judge Offit and Fauci as Pharma-bought criminals (see RFK Jr.'s books for the facts on COVID MRNA lack of testing and FDA complicity and coverups of the damages being done).

Yet Offit states "no one is safe until everyone is safe", and wants government power to force genetic-changing experimental products on us all. Your readers deserve better - Goodbye! "

Linux Kernel 6.7 Build Issues

I have successfully compiled 6.7 kernel on my workstation for Ubuntu using make bindeb-pkg, but compiling it for Redhat machines using binrpm-pkg fails. Also, trying to compile it on one of my servers is failing. Previous kernels have compiled without error in both environments. The 6.7 kernel is performing very well on my workstation, hence I'd really like to get it running on the other machines including the server running friendica, but it is being obstinate.

This is the error I am getting with make bindeb-pkg on the server, 6.2 compiled fine on this same machine:

make[5]: *** [Makefile:1911: .] Error 2

Lucid Dreams

Lucid dreams are a type of dream where you become aware of the fact that you are dreaming within the dream, then, often, you can direct the dream as you like, go flying, time travel, travel to a distant planet, whatever.

I had a lot of these in my twenties but they declined significantly after that and now in my 60's they are relatively rate even though I still dream quite vividly and generally do remember my dreams at least initially upon wakening.

A key to intentionally having a lucid dream is finding some test to determine if you are awake or dreaming and then doing it frequently while awake. This becomes habit and then you start doing it in your dreams as well.

A test that seems to work for many is looking at their hands though nobody has ever explained to me how this works and what is different in a dream state, however I have not found this to work for me.

I accidentally discovered last night that in a dream state I can not perform simple multiplication in my head. In a dream to solve some problem I had to
multiple 3x17 in my head, I could not do it, but upon waking it was trivial.

I'm not sure how this will work in the long run, if I always use the same numbers
then it will just become a memory item.

Mastodon Help
As I've mentioned, I have a friendica, hubzilla, mastodon, nextcloud, and yacy server. Mastodon was the most recent addition and I added it in September of last year. I installed as 4.1.17 and initially it federated, but I attempted an upgrade to 4.1.19, not sure what I did wrong but it still thinks it's 4.1.17 and it stopped federating. Anyone that can help debug, your assistance would be appreciated.

Talk Web

I don't know how many here are old enough that in the past they used to listen to talk radio. I am 65, and did so and I miss the old days of the Art Bell show and some others.

However radio doesn't have enough audience these days to sustain such a show economically, much of the audience has gone to the web.

I got to thinking how could we bring this sort of thing to the web, we have blogs, but they are one-way except live blogging allows for real time comments, but it is nothing like talk radio used to be where you could have a host in one location, a guest in another, and callers calling in from all over the world and people listing from all over.

I can envision a web application that could so something better but I don't have the coding skills to pull it off, so thought I would describe my idea and see if anybody else there feels it might be worth pursuing.

My idea is to have something like Zoom, except on the viewers in it has the ability to have infinite number of people watching, something that on the output side can work with a cdn so that it can be widely distributed.

Then there would be one or two main windows (host or host+guest), and a number of small windows on the side (callers queued) and when they come on they'd get a slightly larger screen to distinguish them being live from those in queue, and the host would have the ability to make them full screen if they had something to show or visually share and the host would also be able to full-screen the guest in that event.

Ideally, this would be entirely browser based and not require an "app".

The battle between capitalism and communism is one that can't be won because pure forms of either do not work. And this is going to become more true as AI, robotics, and automation in general become a larger part of our lives.

The problem can be reduced to this. Those that own the means of production keep the wealth to themselves. But if we distribute the means of production equally productivity dies and we all starve. The Bolsheviks are a case in point. A relative minority of farmers owned all the land, produced all the food, and they were wealthier than others because everybody has to eat so they will trade whatever they have to get enough to eat.

Enter the Bolshevik revolution, land is taken away from the farmers and given to all the populace on a more or less equal basis. Most of whom either don't know how to farm, don't want to farm, or are just plain lazy, no food is produced, 60 MILLION people die of starvation.

In the west we find ways to compromise but in some areas we have compromised too much, labor unions are a case in point. They help by forcing the owners of the means of production to share some of that production with their workers. It is an imperfect system as it exists because it doesn't incentivize production, it just incentivizes showing up and collecting a paycheck, and in practice many employees these days have problems even with the showing up part. It generally forbids or makes difficult for a corporation to reward a more productive worker for their productivity verses the employee that just shows up and collects a pay check but does little to contribute to the generation of wealth that is distributed to them.

The west does have a market system that allows people to buy-in to the means of production, called Stock Markets. But this usually requires a more long term view than most people have.

The other solution is welfare which provides people who do not contribute to the production of wealth in any manner what-so-ever access to a portion of that wealth. This has gotten so out of hand that we've got a large unemployed work force out there that will not hold a job even though millions are available. Why work when you can sit at home and get high?

Part of the reason that people sit on welfare and don't take jobs is because the type of jobs that are becoming available requires knowledge they don't have. If a robot takes over flipping burgers at your local burger palace, SOMEONE still has to fix that robot when it breaks, and it will, someone still has to provide the energy it requires, someone has to build it, program it, etc. So it took a few peoples jobs but many jobs are created to maintain it, but not enough people are trained in those technologies.

So laziness is part of the issue, but the lack of availability of training is another part. My view, we should not support laziness. If someone wants to collect welfare and they are able bodied but lack training then they should have to be in training to receive it and we should find some means of providing that training.

Fighting over which economic system should rule by throwing Molotov cocktails at each other in the streets and destroying existing goods, services, and the means of producing them is NOT the way we should be going about this.

I think we should find some ways to make it easier for someone interested in entering the market to do so, reduce regulations that make it too complex, people who own a stake in the means of production, even if other people are doing the production, are more likely to contribute to it in positive ways than people who do not.

This is truly the biggest problem right now - it justifies endless illegal immigration because "the locals won't do it!" when, in reality, some amount of pressure must be exerted on the chronically unemployed to get the desired results.

Likewise, illegal immigration dilutes wages way too much. You could even say that illegal immigration is a stressor on the free market.

Eruption to the NE of Grindavik
An eruption has started about 1-1/2 hours ago NE of Grindavik Iceland. Is is flowing both North and South, presently more Northwards than South, but Grindavik is still threatened because the vent system extends all the way through the town, it just has not opened up that far South yet.

How Do We Get The Future We Want

I never dreamt I'd experience a future with so much unrealized potential.

When I was young, in the 60's, in the Seattle area, if you were white, Capital Hill, which was essentially 90% black back then, was a place you didn't want to go because if you for example stopped at a red-light and there was a car in front of you four black men would break your windows, drag you out of your car, and beat the shit out of you just for fun.

I had a hard time understanding this when I was in 4th grade and earlier because we had some black kids in the neighborhood and they were like everyone else, we all got a long, played together, maybe got into some mischief together but it wasn't the destructive things people do today.

Then our shitty city decided that the schools weren't "mixed" enough so they bussed children from the South part of the city which were mostly black up to the North which were mostly white. I was fortunate to be able to stay into a school close to my home even though my friends were sent to schools in the south. The local blacks continued to behave as they always had, but those imported organized gangs and all sorts of fights ensued. I had one of these gangs jump me and start whaling on me and I fought back and even though I did not start this fight, I merely defended myself, I'm rewarded with a three day expulsion. I pointed out I didn't start the fight, they accused me of being racist, I pointed out I had black friends in the school, didn't matter I was racist.

It was pretty much this way through out junior high school (our school system was divided as elementary school grades kindigarden - 6th, Jr. High 7th through 9th, and high school 10th through 12th, though my Jr. High and High were across the street from each other and advanced students were allowed to go acrosss the street and take some of their high school classes early. There was some magical boundary crossing the street because in the high school, none of this racial stuff was happening.

At first, I did not understand why this was happening, but then I came to understand that in high school, instead of random forced bussing they had a different system to encourage racial mixing and that was the high schools each had what they called "magnet school" programs which means each school had unique programs that other schools didn't. Our high school had a radio station and electronics classes and an Olympic size swimming pool and students would come there to use one of those facilities or take part in a program those facilities provided, everyone in Seattle was permitted to choose high school that interested them, so even though we had a lot of black people there, and they weren't local, they were there by choice and that was the big difference.

So for me at least the puzzle for that situation had resolved, and by the time I was in high school the situation on capital hill was changing. The police started to actually police it, property values increased, the run down buildings were bulldozed and new homes and businesses were built and it became an area that was less racially polarized. When I try to understand why people mostly lived in peace there for a while, poverty used to be the norm when it was almost all black, now not so much. So I thought ok, probably economic conditions had a lot to do with it's previous situation, a lot of poor black people forced to live there because they didn't have the means to live in other places. When the economy improved those that remained did so by choice and were no longer living in poverty. It occurred to me that back in school, those blacks that were native to the local area also were not living in poverty because the neighborhood was one of reasonable affluence.

Biden added support for economic well being having a lot to do with us being able to get along, because after Biden got in office and ruined the local economy, Capital Hill has gone back to being a war zone. In fact it's worse than that now, it's the entire city.

There is someone up at the top that wants to destroy us, someone who wants to reduce our population, and wants those of us who remain to live in poverty. Covid vax has killed five people for every one person it's saved. This was obviously planned because they started developing the vax before the first hints of the lab grown disease was created and released into the public. They create a situation where there is a shortage of energy and food to cause massive deaths, and accelerated it with injected toxins. I don't know who all the players are, obviously Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Uval Harrari, Rockefuckers, Rottchilds, but who is at the head of this? I don't know, I'm sure Henry Kissinger was one of them also, but thankfully that bastard finally died.

We could have such a future ahead of us if we could eliminate the influence of these bastards. By creating these artificial scarcities, they cause us to fight each other over the remaining resources when we are not each other's enemy, THEY are our enemy. If not for them we could put our energy into creating a better future for ourselves, get fusion reactors working, get molten salt fission reactors working, continue improving space technology so we can mine resources from off the planet where there is no natural life to be hurt.

We need to identify our true enemy and stop fighting each other. Put an end to this bullshit and move on to achieve our destiny.

Whenever a Life is Lost, ALL of us Lose.

We are in need of many material things, rich people think that the rest of us do not contribute and we are just worthless eaters. But if you look through history what have rich people contributed? Precious little. Because the majority of the world is not wealthy, the majority of important inventions come from the poor or middle class. They often become rich in the process, like Elon Musk, but they usually don't start off that way. The majority of the rich contribute nothing but schemes for self enrichment and power grabbing.

This is the problem with the thinking of the depopulation agenda folks like Ehrlich, Schwab, Harari, Gates, etc.

It is not just a matter of consuming and running out of natural resources, because no matter the rate, a given natural resource will run-out. It is more about man's ability to adapt and use new resources that are abundantly available. Even resources that are scarce are almost infinitely abundant, they are just difficult to get to because they are distributed very widely and sparingly like rare Earth's, or because they are buried deep within the Earth like precious metals because of gravitational separation, or because they are mixed with other things that take a lot of energy to separate, like water.

One invention could change all of that, a working hydrogen fusion reactor. And because the rate of improvement recently exceeds Moore's law, and because we are less than a factor of ten away from that is needed for commercial break-even, this is very near. But who might provide us the missing puzzle piece? Perhaps a child in Gaza that just got eliminated by an Israeli Bomb.

What I liked about Trump, instead of being like Biden and focusing on getting the biggest slice of the pie he could, he focused on making the pie bigger, and this is what we need to do. There is a huge universe out there and there does not appear to be a whole lot of competition for resources, and we are very close to being able to travel it, if we would just stop killing each other, fighting over existing resources, and instead focus on making the pie bigger.

KOL
I don't know when this picture was taken but during the 60's and 70's when I was growing up, they are one of two local "top-40" stations, KJR being the other. KOL was located on Harbor Island, and their tower had large NEON KOL sign on the tower, while I was studying for my 1st class radio telephone operators license, I visited Bill Wolfenbarger there often. It was my opinion that KOL was what AM radio was about back in the day. Unfortunately as time went on the music stations drifted towards FM, and AM stations generally changed format. KOL was one of the last to abandon the "top-40" format, but when they did they went to country rather than talk radio and that format did not work, largely because we had another well established AM country station, KAYO, but KAYO died as a country format and went to a political talk radio format when an FM station went country. Anyway I love the way the old transmitter was constructed with all the glass so you could see everything. Back in those days, most AM stations were high level plate modulation, not electrically efficient but provided the best audio until Harris Gates came out with their pulse width modulation which produced the best of both worlds. CCA also had a modulation scheme which used a peak and carrier tube with the peak tube being phase modulated, such that it could either add to the carrier tube or subtract from it, depending upon the phase relation it introduced, but that phase component really created a lot of distortion resulting in not very clean audio.

Too Fast
This happened about five or six years ago, before global warming got rid of all the snow, just kidding, it still snows here. At any rate this idiot was going too fast for conditions and decided to enter the post office by sneaking between the bus stop and tree and driving through a fence and over a six foot embankment to get to the post office parking lot. It's a lot easier to use the driveway but I guess this guy just liked the challenge. He wasn't quite up to it though, needed more speed or a heavier vehicle because he didn't quite clear the fence.

This is SlimFast from the Church of Lazlo back when he was on KNDD 107.7. I took this photo at the Beach House studio just before Brian Aubert from SilverSun Pickups performed there. Really wished the corporation hadn't recalled Lazlo to their station in New Orleans, he had a hell of a show at KNDD, really good at audience involvement and had a good ear for local talent.
