 Another revival, this series of posts both bookmarks and shares stories and articles from the past week that caught my eye.

Remember that they're the anti-racists: 'Whiteness is going to have an end date' says Rutgers professor of gender and Africana studies (its always the useless parts of academic pushing this). Related, wokism in the US Military. The UK military probably isn't far behind, and neither is NASA. 

More on Diversity training: What the Feds Are Teaching in Diversity Training

A stake through the heart and a bulb of garlic in its mouth should do it: MMT Is Dead. It Must Now Be Buried for Good

Canada goes full Maoist: Peterson Ordered to Report to Reeducation Camp for Criticizing Trudeau. 

Remember Regan's most dangerous 5 words: How government makes everything worse

Misanthropic anti-human expansionism refuted: Mars. I agree a worthwhile goal for our civilization should be 'to locally reduce the entropy of the universe.' Also on space, RIP to the last of the Mercury 7: Walter Cunningham dies

Hopefully we're close to a fork in The Net Zero Road to Nowhere. Also on environmentalism,  stopped clocks are more accurate: Serially wrong Paul Erich is wrong again 

No sh*t Sherlock: Conservatives were right about leftism’s harm to society: UCLA historian Another effect of both this and not having to face real struggles/hardships: Gen Z is too 'fragile'

Maybe, but the longer-term outlook is grim: Will conservatism survive 2023?

Why I'm skeptical of rejoinerism: for now, but as the demographics change I'd be more worried (especially as kids have been fed a load of anti-Brexit stuff at schools for the past 7 years)

One possible explanation, I'd like to see if other mammals have been similarly affected: testosterone in total freefall, may account for explosion in transgenderism. If this does turn out to be the case how will the left react to this? Banning the chemicals? 

As always, you first: Eugenics Experts Advise Having Sex with Short People. BTW, how short? I'm only 5'7", does that count?

On the Lefts reaction to Elon Musks' take over of Twitter (which /I still don't use): A tale of betrayal: Elon Musk exposes corruption, and the media goes scorched earth, and always remember if it weren't for double standards they wouldn't have any: Elon Musk's Beautiful Dunk on a Leftist Shows Just How Hypocritical They Can Be

Memes/ funny pictures of the week:








And finally, the appropriate reaction to Venanury: London Dungeon announces they will ‘ban’ vegans from entering in January

On covid-19 death statistics

 I became aware of this published data a few weeks ago via this  Unherd  column. Since then I have checked occasionally for updated figures, and last week started to analyse the data. First I downloaded every data set from this  archive  page, going back to May 2020 (where the archived data begins, so note that Month will also include all deaths earlier in the year). I was particularly interested in page 3, the deaths by age, and pre-existing conditions. I put each week's figures into a single spreadsheet and made monthly total tables. I then calculated the percentages and made some graphs. I have just updated my data with this week's figures, which I present below.  First, here is this weeks data ( source ) And here is my % calculations for the totals to date: And here is my monthly summary data. Top left is total deaths with or without a pre-existing condition. The bottom left is broken down into age, I have simplified it into under or over 60. To the right in orange are per

On what if scenarios: London goes boom!

 Scott Lowther ponders this after viewing a clip of London getting wipe out by an orbital kinetic weapon (AKA Project Thor ). I started to leave a comment but as it got longer and longer I decided to post here instead. So, let's go through some of his questions and try to make a realistic prediction: First, he posits ' would this utterly trash Britain?' he also states ' London is responsible for a whole lot of the British economy, but it’s sorta the “fake” economy of financial stuff, not growing stuff or making stuff.' Well, first off there is the issue of all the banks being vaporized, along with all their ICT systems. I'd hope they have backups but it could be that the entire payments system ceases to function. The result for the rest of the UK would be no one would be able to use a credit or debit card, withdraw cash or even access their accounts. Guess we'd be back to cash pretty sharpish.  In addition, all the insurance underwriters (Lloyds, etc) wou

 After reading Longrider's post earlier I had a look at the ONS data he linked to and decided to present it visually.   From the data set mentioned above, here are the figures of interest: And here is it presented graphically: Finally, here is the data for last year as a pie chart: Consider this whenever you hear someone in the media going on about how women are 'unsafe in our streets'
