Car Fires By Vehicle Type

I’m not especially interested in the national debate between conventional engines vs. electric. This picture (left) came up though and a couple of mistakes occurred. I made the mistake of making a throw-away statement I never thought anyone would respond to. Then someone else made the mistake of responding to it. So, waste not want […]

The ‘Yes, And’ Politics Game
By NZB3
Improvisational Comedy has been a mainstream part of Western Culture for many decades now: An impromptu spontaneous, un-scripted, comedic performance based on no plan just a set of rules. Back in high school we called it ‘Theater Sports’ but since then Improv’ Comedy has become more widely known along with its basic formula. This comedy […]

Angry Ratepayer Radio Rebuff
By NZB3
Francesca Rudkin usually does weekend infomercials disguised as news interviews but is filling in during prime time on radio Newstalk ZB. On Monday she opened up an interesting topic about ratepayers violently revolting against their political and bureaucratic staff. Apparently it’s now so bad that Rudkin felt the need to specify that “physical abuse” ought […]

“We do owe one another a living”
By NZB3
The idea of having to earn a living implies that we don’t deserve to have our needs met simply by virtue of having these needs. To break it down a bit, we don’t deserve physical fitness or quality friendships or wealth or a long life or shelter or clothing or any values unless we embody […]

“Fuck White Supremacy”
By NZB3
It’s always got to be anti-women’s-violence or anti-gender-based-violence or anti-child-violence. Why can’t we just be anti-violence? The implication is that identitarian categories that don’t have International Days of Activism named after them are OK to do violence upon. “Yesterday in Parliament, we all wore orange to raise awareness of the 16 days of worldwide activism […]

Don’t Look Up
By NZB3
New release: ‘Don’t Look Up’ now on Netflix. Yes, The Guardian review is right that director Adam McKay goes on a self-indulgent smug Victimhood Culture parade. That probably resonates with a certain set such as the Hollywood cast acting the movie or, one would have thought, The Guardian. Not so much with the old Conformity […]

Matrix 4
By NZB3
I don’t do spoiler warnings. That was your spoiler warning. The Matrix Resurrections (2021) has just been released which prompts a question as to which way the director would take it. Often the route in these situations is to create a nostalgic mosaic resembling the bottled lightning of the first installment. So many songs and […]

Cracker
By NZB3
Professor Jackie Buell of Ohio State University is in hot water for using phrase โJewing Downโ in virtual lecture. Apparently it’s a colloquial term for trying to bargain down the sales price in a retail environment and that was the topic of Buell’s lecture.ย How dare she implicitly attack Jews that way? But she says […]

It is a kind of death
By NZB3
Most people (even some Libertarians) want to be in the in-group more than anything. The prospects there are good. Access to markets and all that. That in-group has narrowed a fair bit of late. It got Woke. At university we had a paper that taught us about this in terms of R.K.Merton’s theory of anomie. […]
