They have Tofu Dreg buildings in China, now Tofu Dreg dams in Africa.

It is universally accepted that Europe is a continent even though there is no water separating the land area called Europe from the land area called Asia.

Found this in the library database. Should be able to order to the local library Monday. I have been thinking in terms of intellectual segregation for years. Maybe separation is more accurate but we must remember that Physics and Technology do not care.

Has anyone been killed or injured besides the guy who offed himself in Las Vegas at the Trump building entrance. Wait, I think they said a couple of injuries happened there. I am inclined to say it is Not Terrorism because of the focus and probable intent. It is kind of an attack on government failure so some people in government would prefer to call it Terrorism. .

Aren't there enough books already? Is the issue separating the wheat from the chaff? Reading takes up time and there is lots to go through. I never heard of Hubert Henry Harrison until his book "When Africa Awakes" turned up in Project Gutenberg. What would be 10 books that the Black literati could agree on? .

Repression is necessary for the maintenance of the White self righteous delusions of grandeur. The institutions are products of those delusions. Before COVID I was at a high school installing Wi-Fi. I said to a teacher there, "White men confuse their egos with their intellects." She said, "THAT'S RIGHT!" I do not recall putting it that succinctly before, but that is what it comes down to. Technology gave White people the power to go around the world stealing land, taking over resources and the POWER has gone to their heads. Technology and the Laws of Physics do not give a damn about them or anyone else. Basketball is not going to give Black Americans any power. It probably helps them maintain part of their stereotype about us. So I talk about economics and accounting. The NAZInomic Wargame is a continuation of the military wargame by other means. .

When I was at IBM one of my White coworkers asked me why I wanted a computer at home. I was 26 at the time and he must have been late 40s I would guess. It was not powerful enough to do much with. I was using it to understand computers. [Quote]You act intelligent around them or like you know something and some of them will get angry with you, "Man...that nigga thank he know everythang."[/quote] Even get mad and want to fight. .

Cancel Easter! Jesus ain't coming! .

Is this a cultural problem, maybe more so in the United States, with this constant compete, Compete, COMPETE? When I was in college an instructor walked in the first day and said he was giving out 2 A's and 4 B's. Hadn't taught shit! And my senior yr in highschool I watched this White boy cry in class because he got a B. A friend in high school who was on the track team said the coach told him to ask me if I wanted to join because he watched me during PE class. No way Jose! I couldn't put up with it. I got straight D's in religion. That is part of why I ended up not laughing at that White boy. He had to have spent hours and hours and hours doing idiotic religion assignments to get straight A's in EveryThing! Is this society driving some people Nuts? .

This kind of stupid lack of emotional self control is way beyond ridiculous. Now plead Not Guilty against all of those witnesses and video. Make yourself infamous all over the country especially among track & field people.

What can they say? I can barely stand listening to the man talk for 5 minutes. As far as I am concerned the military should have done something about him by now. "Domestic Enemy"! Watch dumb White people freak out some more.

The books were not shoving themselves in my face the last time I was in a library. I have to keep clicking ads out of my face just to see this website. I don't come here often.

Are you sure that it is not a bullshit superhighway? The noise to information ratio is pretty bad. And then there is the problem of judging the information. On BlueSky I had one man completely agree with me and start following and another say that I was full of crap and embarrassing myself on the same subject. I think the super highway is mostly good but I read a lot before it existed. I just regret the time wasted wading through obvious bullshit. .

I would be more inclined to say deepen poverty than cause poverty. .

Scary Experiment All Fall Down An experiment started by an imbecile who does not have a clue. .

I had someone getting on my case on BlueSky because I said it would not matter. Just a blip on the corporate cash flow! .

I do not think Ukraine and Europe will allow any DEAL to go through. Trump will just make things worse with Europe, Canada and Mexico. I have been thinking of March 1st as a deadline for the US military to decide on "Domestic Enemy" qualification and strategy. .

Was he? His army is falling apart along with his economy. Around one million Russian young men have left the country and probably not coming back. I am hearing 200,000 dead out of 500,000 casualties. Putin has done to Russia what Trump is doing too the US. Wrecking the place though Trump is more obviously stupid. I am not sure what Putin wanted. Peace would just give him different problems than war.

What I find peculiar in all this talk about reading is very little mention of finding out what individual kids might like to read, and the Information Density of the reading material. I accidentally started reading science fiction in 4th grade. I have since had people point out to me that it was written by White Men. But how many Black Americans want to do without technology and how much do Black Americans know about it. Now there is free stuff but I have had TEACHERS tell me that they never heard of Project Gutenberg.

OK!

I have not read about Buddhism since some world religions class in high school. I would consider it a religion but with a stronger personal philosophical style than Christianity or Islam. No hierarchical authority. I just thought of yoga as a physical exercise system but I have not investigated it at all.

Death Valley! .

An interesting/informative video: "GDP" is a lie. It does not mention Net Domestic Product, Planned Obsolescence and the Depreciation of Consumer Garbage. 3.2K vus .

I presume that if there is a "God" then He/She/It has a lower opinion of religion than I do.
