Grrrr!

OK, now you've made me mad. (Again)

I've said a few times in this collection of mini-commentaries that the Right seems to be nastier than the Left. Check this out.

 And since Ann Coulter is the cause of my current madness, be advised I said this about her over a decade ago:

The Mother Superior of demonizers on the right is Ann Coulter. Her new book "The Church of Liberalism - Godless" paints all "Libs" with one tar soaked brush. She could have worked for any of the great Demonizers of the past. She would have been a star of the Inquisition or - need I say it - she would have been a fine lieutenant for Joseph Goebbels. She gets the right wing Medal of Honor for slimy propaganda. She is the Big Lie boogie queen.

 I.e., there isn't much new for me to add except to double down on the "big lie" part. It's the same kind of lie she (and Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, et al) tell all the time, puking untruthful generalities about at least half of all U.S. citizens. 

 Here's her latest - in support of DJTrump attacking the proven innocence of the "Central Park Five."

 Ann Coulter argued, “liberals are opposed to rape in the abstract, but when it comes to actual rapists, they’re all for them.”

 Yep, we liberals are all for those rapists. What provably wrong, ridiculous, nasty, slimy political slander. And massive, lying B.S.!

 So once again, "She gets the right wing Medal of Honor for slimy propaganda. She is the Big Lie boogie queen."

 She probably likes that title.

 Grrrrr.

 Oh, and this is what she (and all rightwingnutcases) look like. Not to lie and generalize...

Ann Coulter sticks under Liberals' skins and is the female Right equivalent of a combination of nasties like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Neera Tanden, Hillary Rosen and a few others. She pushes the envelope into the very gray area where personal insults and truth live. Love her or hate her you can't ignore her as her books are everywhere. She is a perfect example of why the First Amendment exists.

Putting Maddow in your "contra" example list is extraordinarily blind. I wonder if you ever watch her. I'll have to look up Neera and Hillary R, but I'm betting it's very hard to find anyone on the leftier side of things who matches Coulter in the nasty generalizations game. I cheer for the First, I boo those who misuse it... Milo, Katie, Savage, Alex et al.

Scooter Duff's Theory of Cosmology [A work in progress]

 [Olde Duff Gets Seriouser] SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES  ARE MOSTLY PRIMORDIAL  DARK MATTER [Draft 8/19/2023] THE BIG NEWS.. ..Is from the James Webb Space Telescope. There were furiously active galaxies very soon after the Big Bang, not that long after the first generation stars happened. This implies supermassive black holes at the centers of the new galaxies.  The question, "how did these giant black holes get there so early?" seems not quite answered by the two main contenders, "Giant dust collapse," and "Many stellar black holes consolidating." Thus I decided to toss this hat into the ring: At the big bang, and dark matter was the first matter of any kind to form (perhaps during the mysterious “inflation” event -- my personal theory).  It’s mutual gravitational attraction and lack of interaction to any electromagnetic force allowed it to exist and start to coalesce, even in the heat of the BB, long before baryonic matter could.  There was a vast quantity

Rick and Morty

A Millenial Hit Olde Folks Don't Know About Are you over 50? Have you ever heard about "Rick and Morty?" I thought not. There is a "cell" of younger people who love the show and say extravagant things about its wonderfulness. In these times when prior punditry had it we would be unified by some mysterious power in the Internet, there are more and more cells of people, unified within their cells, but isolated from most of the other cells of special interests*, tastes and proclivities.  The U.S. looks more like a pomegranate than a cantaloupe - to push the fruit/melon analogy to its extreme. I will dream up a graphic one of these days. USA, USA! society in fruit form. ANYHOO... I watched Rick and Morty at my millennial son's suggestion, and I LOVE IT. Eccentric old genius and non-genius grandson as the lead characters (faintly Back to the Future -esque) + sci-fi + Simpsons sensibilities +  intelligent satire + over-the-top imaginative creators

An Informational Present

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS SIX YEARS AGO (Surely you remember ?)  ...And in those six years, multiple research projects have affirmed and reaffirmed that SENOLYTICS is a big deal. The science of senolytics: how a new pill could spell the end of ageing                                    * I'm reminded of this by a well-researched article in The Guardian , a newspaper I respect. Aside from that hyperbolic, click-bait-ish headline, it's a fair summary of the state of knowledge on the subject. In brief: Certain drugs and several supplements help the body get rid of senescent cells, "zombie cells" that don't die after they quit doing their thing and just hang around spitting out inflammatory chemicals that damage various organs, joints, and brain cells. The senolytic agents augment apoptosis , nature's way of killing off the senescent cells. When those senescent cells are gone, things start improving measurably (see the mouse with the young look in the Guardian piece.)
