Got a job at the cemetery. Boss explaining prices to me. Bulk mausoleums are our cheapest offering. Burying in the ground is the most expensive. Why? Because anything in that ground comes to life in 3 days. If a guy wants traditional burial, they pay for the security detail to stop what comes out.

It's a pity I can't travel now. Feeling the strong urge to find a tourist trap and spend $200 on useless & strange plastic things. I'm playing Two Point Museum. Building the Gift Shop in each museum brings that kid feeling of needing all the souvenirs.

Walked into the kitchen at midnight to find a raccoon doing her best to break into the cat food container. She stared at me. I stared at her. Then she sullenly walked off. Time to latch the cat door at night. I liked seeing the possums break in for free cat food. But raccoons, no.

Thinking tycoon games should implement an "executive suite" room / building. Ongoing costs of 10% of revenue. Reduces work speed & morale by 5%. But the graphics are very enticing and it gives 10% to an empty stat like "Prestige." Thus many players will build it.

Woke up this morning. Rolled over and told the wife: "The wedding was great. But for some reason, grandpa dressed like a samurai." "Isn't your grandfather dead?" "Yeah, but that wouldn't stop him from coming to the wedding." "Whose wedding?" But I was already back asleep.

Maybe the most fun thing to do in games with a photo mode is to create a dozen photos and then stitch them together into a large landscape. Nothing more fun than seeing the details of cities which have never existed.

Made a panorama of a set of skyscrapers from the game Transport Fever 2. The camera view is roughly at the 20th story level. Many of the buildings have their top levels cut off. Most of the landscape are clusters of tall buildings but there's a small patch of green to the upper right. In the center, is a residential skyscraper with a house-like pitched roof on the top. A small touch of something akin to home in what is otherwise an almost cold view of buildings. Some of the buildings, including the one in the center, are giving off clouds of steam. Must be chilly in this imaginary world.

Played Transport Fever 2 all weekend. Feeling a weird parasocial connection with whoever did the track laying algorithms. This person is now simultaneously my kindest best friend, and my mocking, utterly mad best friend. I imagine them in Zurich, looking at train tracks, and laughing endlessly.

Kansas. Standing by the old quarry. Heard owl hoots. The occasional coyote yip. Fortunately, did not hear any footsteps. That's the sort of place where Hitchhiker would show up. Ask you for a light. And then no one would ever see you again.

Slightly blurry photo of northern lights. Red curtains of light fringed with pink. Below the red are a few clouds tinged with a greenish white light. I think that's light pollution from a nearby village and not part of the aurora. Below the green white band of light is the black horizon. A single tree breaks it up. Next to the tree are a line of powerline poles. Also as black as the horizon.

Thinking being a ghost isn't so bad. Would go over to the in-laws house and try to trigger their motion detection lights in a morse code pattern. Encoding something creepy like "I'm alf and i'm here to eat your cats!!" But probably wouldn't work. Mainly because I don't know morse. They don't either

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts. Text 1. Wilhoit's Law, born as part of a 2018 blog comment crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, or “progressivism”, or “socialism”, or whateverthefuckkindofstupidnoise-ism, onto the core proposition of anti-conservatism.

No, it a’n’t. The task is to throw all those things on the exact same burn pile as the collected works of all the apologists for conservatism, and start fresh. The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get:

The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

A skeet sized Christmas ghost story. Published in 1914 in El Paso Herald's "Daily Novelette" column. I found it in Valencourt's Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories, Volume 4.

Title: Desuetude. (A Ghost Story.)

“Isn’t Christmas a little early this year!” she said, a trifle nervously.

“Yes,” he answered, “I never remember its coming in May before.”

Darkness closed in on them.
