The Real Cost of Crazy

"Hey, lots of leaders were narcissists" 
(Lunacy Notes before Lunatic Blocks the Sun)
                                                      
Just hope it's not total

                                                                  "How about that Alt-Left?"       

What to do? How to respond? My reflex action is to rant through the NYTimes, the Washington Post or maybe Breitbart (but they are too crazy today, cheering for Their Guy, to even consider).  
Here's what I ranted to The Times' Frank Bruni column "Can’t Eclipse the American Spirit:"

"Lunar" is the base word behind "lunatic." Maybe I'm crazy to see the connection? For all of us who have been preoccupied with DJT's mental state, now we can see the actual, on-the-ground results of having a president who is suffering (ha!) from malignant narcisissim. The tragic, bizarre, shout-'em-down press conference, apparently patting the nazis on their puerile popos, was just as much classic super narcissist stuff as it was actual thought. Never wrong, never to be criticized, always counter-punching, doubling down compulsively, deriding opponents... all that falls in the classic symptoms list of the malignant narcissist. We are ALL now suffering from his lunacy. (Oh, and it's now clear he's a racist narcissist.) 
Then I tried my hand at political cartoonery.

Teddy and Bernie

Image
By Gosh, I Think I've Got It! Bernie caught some gaff for having a narrow focus campaign. Here's how he's going to broaden it out. IMHO. And that doesn't mean he's running for anything,  just being Bernie. * Teddy as the model for... ...The New Bernie campaign? * I was zapping through the pile of political pitches I get everyday on my old fashioned e-mail (wduffer@aol.com), zap, zap, zap... Congressmen from Colorado, Florida, Ohio... on and on, Democrats I never heard of, but I'm on "The List." I don't get irritated, I just get rid of the ads; I mean after all, they're Democrats. After I finished my zapping, I had a snack and set to recording another audiobook chapter. Then it hit me, based on one of the ads I zapped.  Here 'tis: It was when I dragged it up again that I noticed it was a Bernie ad, and I said, "That's it!" Do you how many great quotes flowed from Teddy R? About half of them ar...

Scooter Duff's Theory of Cosmology [UPDATED 5.4.24]

 [Olde Duff Gets Seriouser] SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES  ARE MOSTLY PRIMORDIAL  DARK MATTER [Draft 8/19/2023] [UPDATED 5.4.24] & [9.25.24] 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 ...

Bot Spotting - Seriously

Image
If you have opinions, and you have "proof," better check your sources! TWITTER IS THE BOT SWAMP Here is a detailed method of spotting bot tweets; twelve techniques: The trick in some cases is finding the non-human  number of tweets. @BlackManTrump, a hyperactive account, posted 89,944 tweets between August 28, 2016 and December 19, 2016 (see archive   here ), an average of 789 posts per day. The account  @sunneversets100 , an amplifier of pro-Kremlin messaging, was created on November 14, 2016. On August 28, 2017, it was 288 days old. In that period, it posted 203,197 tweets (again, the exact figure can be found by hovering the mouse over the “Tweets” entry). Watch for " Amplification " When a fake news story gets re-tweeted a bunch, you might think "Gee, it must be true. I see it everywhere." You are the victim of classic BIG LIE propaganda technique in the social media world. Remember, the Russians are the world leaders in weaponiz...
