At the Type Archive

28th July 2020

Read it.

The? Type Archive near Stockwell in London used to be a hospital for cab horses and circus animals, but since 1992 it has been home to every sort of mould, matrix, burin, bodkin and slug. The archive holds typographical apparatus from the last six hundred years, but its main collection relates to the technology of Monotype printing. That capital letter is important: this isn’t the single-print practice of fine artists (for ‘monotypes’, see Degas) but the huge and complex letterpress hot-metal printing system created by the Monotype Corporation in the late 1800s. Along with its competitor, Linotype, it bridged the gap – or formed the continuum – between manual letterpress printing (see Gutenberg), where a compositor arranges individual characters in rows for inking, and computerised printing. In the Monotype system, the text to be printed is freshly machine-cast from molten lead. Instead of having to assemble a book or newspaper line by line, letter by letter, the typesetter could type the text into a keyboard and a machine would issue forth its metal mirror.

I have always been fascinated by hot-type printing systems.

Today in Hygiene Theater: You Can Stop Cleaning Your Mail Now

To some American companies and Florida men, COVID-19 is apparently a war that will be won through antimicrobial blasting, to ensure that pathogens are banished from every square inch of America’s surface area.

Rise of the Crypto-Caucasians

28th July 2020

David Cole understands the dialectic.

There’s an old saying I just coined: “You can ignore the race war, but the race war won’t ignore you.” No matter how insulated you think you are, the people in this country who are dead-set on making everything about race will eventually reach your doorstep.

Hollywood, that most leftist of leftist towns where every white wears a BLM pin and conservative thought has long been banished, just learned the hard way that the race war awards no points for wokeness. Whites gotta go. And that includes woke whites. Because race wars aren’t about ideology but, well, race (as should be obvious from the name).

For whites, “their careers are pretty much over,” said one of the execs. Adding insult to injury, certain skilled whites are being asked to continue working behind the scenes as advisers—unpaid and uncredited—so that all those new nonwhite hires can appear more capable than they actually are.

Wealthy Donors Pour Millions Into Fight Over Mail-In Voting

27th July 2020

Read it.

Deep-pocketed and often anonymous donors are pouring over $100 million into an intensifying dispute about whether it should be easier to vote by mail, a fight that could determine President Donald Trump’s fate in the November election.

In the battleground of Wisconsin, cash-strapped cities have received $6.3 million from an organization with ties to left-wing philanthropy to help expand vote by mail. Meanwhile, a well-funded conservative group best known for its focus on judicial appointments is spending heavily to fight cases related to mail-in balloting procedures in court.

And that’s just a small slice of the overall spending, which is likely to swell far higher as the election nears.

Silence Is Violence: CNN Hails Biden’s Female VP Short List, But Ignores Tara Reade

27th July 2020

On Monday’s New Day, CNN co-hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota brought on national political reporter Maeve Reston and political director David Chalian to spout typical Democratic election-year talking points about President Trump and Republicans being “sexist.” Most appallingly, Chalian praised Joe Biden for his to plan to choose a woman as his running mate without mentioning that Biden has been credibly accused of sexual assault.

Identity

27th July 2020

Severian does a deep dive.

If you’ll indulge me for a moment: “Identity,” variously defined, has been one of humanity’s most vexing problems from the get-go.

Is the world we perceive, the world as it actually is? How reliable are our perceptions? For that matter, how reliable is the perceiver? If we can’t trust our senses when it comes to external objects — and we all know how shaky our senses can be — then how can we trust them when they report to “us” (whatever that is) on our internal states? Ever had what the docs call “referred pain“? The pain, at least, is real, though it doesn’t necessarily hurt at the site of the injury. Ever felt mad when what you really are is scared? Nothing, it seems, is reliable. Nothing is stable.

Most people don’t interact with reality directly, but second-hand. They craft an artificial persona composed of the characteristics that they would like to have, or at least like people to think they have, and then deal with reality, not as themselves, but as if they were this fake person. This is why a lot of people get the stunned-cow look on their faces when something in real life happens to them that isn’t in the script that they are attempting to act out. This is why mass shooters have such an easy time — their victims didn’t include such a thing in their scripts, so they have no clue as to what to do and therefore panic.

This “I am the star of my own movie” attitude is essentially narcissistic, because most people are what Any Rand called “second-handers”; their opinion of themselves is determined by what other people think of them … which means they need to get other people to think of them, hence the popularity of tattoos, piercings,unnatural hair colors, and the other components of hipster fashion. If you look cool, then you are cool, by definition, regardless of the barren wasteland that constitutes your soul.

This is why “self-esteem” and “identity” is such a Big Thing among the second-handers. They have no worth except the worth assigned to them by others, so they need to be insulated from adverse inputs from the outside.

Newsweek Publishes Op-Ed Blasting Media Hate of Hydroxychloroquine Treatment for COVID-19

27th July 2020

Read it.

Something strange seems to be going on with Newsweek. Although few are still aware it even exists and even fewer actually read it, they sometimes publish stories that diverge drastically from its usual liberal orthodoxy. Perhaps they are willing to sometimes commit such heresy simply to draw attention. And in the case of their op-ed column by a Yale professor of epidemiology on Thursday, they sure got the attention of anyone reading it since it utterly shattered the media taboo against hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19.

Yesterday, The Washington Free Beacon posted The Wages of Woke: How Robin DiAngelo got rich peddling ‘white fragility’, on its website. As its title advertises, the article documents the impressive rewards that racism expert, author, and speaker, Dr. Robin DiAngelo, is reaping from her activities. That she is doing well is not an issue; people who provide goods and services benefitting others earn their pay.

But DiAngelo’s racial marketing business seems to be benefitting only herself.

Days after a federal judge paused the public release of New York City police disciplinary records, a news website has published a database containing complaint information for thousands of officers.

ProPublica posted the database Sunday, explaining in a note to readers that it isn’t obligated to comply with Judge Katherine Polk Failla’s temporary restraining order because it is not a party to a union lawsuit challenging the release of such records.

Puppet for Dems: CBS Host Interrupts EVERY Cruz Answer on Stimulus Bill

26th July 2020

Read it.

In back-to-back interviews with congressional lawmakers from different sides of the aisle Sunday, CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan exposed which party she supported as she allowed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) an almost unfettered 10 minutes (9:44) to speak and smear Republicans on the stimulus bill. In contrast, she only gave Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) six minutes and 24 seconds, and interrupted every answer he gave on the stimulus so she could assail him questions doubting his commitment to helping struggling families.

My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.

The Layoffs Will Continue Until the Diversity Ratio Improves

26th July 2020

Steve Sailer.

I’m fascinated by the decline in first the word and then the concept of “disinterested.” First, the word acquired a new meaning as “bored,” then the old concept was almost completely forgotten. For example, it is now considered a GOOD thing that executives being paid to fire white men are not white men themselves but are instead of races and genders who personally benefit from their anti-white male push.

War Between Greece and Turkey Is Now a Real Possibility

25th July 2020

Read it.

There has never been any love lost between Turkey and Greece, but the danger of war between the two NATO members has not been this high since the Cyprus conflict more than forty-five years ago. In the past, Turkey and Greece have gone to the brink, but policies initiated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an may very much push the two neighbors over the edge.

Once the Soviet Union collapsed, the rationale for having Turkey in NATO went away. NATO is now a relic the only function of which is to involve the United States in pointless foreign wars.

Five Burning Questions About Tequila, Answered

25th July 2020

Read it.

Tequila inspires strong opinions in people, just like the Beatles, goat cheese, and the 1988 Detroit Pistons. Some can’t stand the smell or taste of it; others relish every sip and wait for the “tequila!” feeling to hit.

But the fact is, tequila and its smokier sister, mezcal, have never been more popular outside of their Mexican homeland. The spirits rocketed to the top of the US drinking charts in 2019, and are projected to surpass rum in buying volume in the next few years. And while they both may be mainstream at this point, there’s still a lot consumers don’t know about the distillation process. Here are five essential questions and answers about the fiery desert libations.

Bottom line: There is no potable liquid so obscure that somebody won’t ferment an alcoholic beverage out of it.

The Media Revolution

25th July 2020

ZMan does an overview.

In 2016, the Left was super confident they had the election in the bag. So confident, in fact, they got sloppy. It was around this time that the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign, assuming President Clinton would be cool with it. They are just as confident this time, but they probably don’t have the FBI and CIA spying for them. Given what happened in 2016, you would think they would be cautious, but instead they are overflowing with certainty. They know they will win.

One reason for this is they have purged almost all dissenting voices from their preferred media platforms. The Drudge Report is so over-the-top in his anti-Trump antics it feels like a parody site now. There is some speculation that he sold out to Silicon Valley grifters, but Drudge was always a creation of Neo-Conservative Inc. His sources and sympathies were always in that world. That whole scene has fired up the NeverTrump clown car for one more ride through the public square.

Progressive Policies Wreck Everything

24th July 2020

Read it.

I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: “Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind.”

The media are so clueless. Instead of “but,” the headline should have said, “therefore,” or “so, obviously.”

Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do.

“If you wanted a poster child for the progressive movement, it would be Minneapolis,” says Republican Minnesota Senate candidate Jason Lewis in my new video. “This is the same city council that voted to abolish the police department.”

The council, which has no Republicans, spends taxpayer money on most every progressive idea.

They brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent. They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. They even tell supermarkets what cereal they must sell.

Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second-highest in the country.

Complicit: MSNBC Gaslights Concerned Americans, Defends Rioters

24th July 2020

Read it.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe started off Thursday with their favorite game, gaslighting conservatives — or anyone opposed to violent far-left protests taking over city streets. They attempted to do this by pretending that demonstrations in major cities across America aren’t violent, that rioters and looters aren’t beating people up, attacking police officers, and setting things on fire. Nope, the media would rather pretend that Trump sending in federal officers to quell the chaos is the real problem, not the actual rioters themselves.
