THE VIEW FROM AFAR

Notes from a retired newspaper publisher

Thursday, November 16, 2023

A piece of advice.#

These are pointers. You must decide for yourself whether they flesh out your news.#

Why does a habitual liar get so much space/time on #corporatenews?#

If lying was an art, Michael Cohen would be a Rembrandt. Why does he keep getting a pass? https://t.co/cSSlgeB3V0 #FoxNews [Link]#

Science requires asking questions and then trying to answer them.#

Easy choice: follow science or follow one culture and undermine society. — The #SupremeCourt will soon have the opportunity to resolve a conflict in the Circuits about whether #TitleIX requires school to assign #transgender students... https://t.co/bnIEkjxoAd [Link]#

So much waste on X.#

Pruning diseased wood, dead from the neck up, from X. https://t.co/TJhEoid19X [Link]#

Not anti-western culture so much as opinions that do not stand up to scrutiny.#

‘It‘s an anti-Western culture on campuses which is revealing itself as #Antisemitism ‘ https://t.co/BX6LuP0Db6 [Link]#

Does anyone bet on the Squad?#

The news behind the news. — Jewish group bets $100 million against The Squad, by @donsurber https://t.co/OE6aoDM2mN [Link]#

Furnaces matter, just not inefficient ones.#

Note: Steel industry moved away from blast furnaces years ago, to EAFs (Electric Arc Furnaces, w/ near NatGas Electrical plants to power them). Cleveland-Cliffs, the US‘ largest producer, has one 1930s era blast furnace left. Blast furnaces are inefficient, except for volume. [Link]#
Economic suicide is what comes before a fall. — #Deindustrialization in the UK is Almost Complete, by @cdrsalamander https://t.co/GIHEgl3tlG [Link]#

We could learn a lesson here.#

Finland responds to a Russian attack—like the one on our southern border. https://t.co/614Q3AJGJv [Link]#

When a dictator can’t be called a dictator.#

China Decries Biden‘s Off-Script ‘Dictator Xi‘ Comment As "Extremely Wrong" Political Maneuvering https://t.co/na6aKiRWC5 [Link]#

Sometimes more climate politics than science.#

.#Climate study can be #sciency or #science. — Walrus and polar bear population size changes in the N. Atlantic over the last 20k years https://t.co/PcH7LkBebs via @wattsupwiththat [Link]#

No surprise.#

Double standards in abuse of government. — @JoeBiden #IRS Launches Audit Into #Conservative Org That Helped Tank Nominees For Key Administration Posts https://t.co/h7vUvJaFdi via @dailycaller [Link]#
