The management of this pandemic is racist as hell. I looked back over my emails and some posts, and I was going off on the issue of essential workers and crowded housing back in April of 2020. This barely ever came up in the media as an important factor in the spread of COVID-19, until…

This person may have been a relative. It’s hard to know. My father had a letter sent to some government agency looking for him. Recent internet searches turned up photos, and this document, which is a record of the 1940 census. He boarded at a house at 305 E. 2nd St. in Los Angeles. This…

I got blocked from posting reviews, so I decided to start a review blog. I just like writing reviews. The blog is called product8reviews. After writing a few articles, it dawned on me that I had some Amazon reviews that I could copy over. It turns out I had around 120 reviews, and over 100,000…

I got a notification that someone on Twitter liked a statement by a rival in a troll-flame war. So I reviewed my tweets from mid-July, 2020. As I write this, in mid-September, 2020, I feel like saying “told you so.”

This first paper is exciting, because it’s about people working on a fishing boat, and being exposed to COVID-19. No, they were not forced onto a boat and exposed to it. They are just testing people going onto these boats, and when they all test negative, they embark. If an unfortunate person was incubating the…

Every few months, I delete my posts from Facebook. I know FB already got some value from my activities, and want to limit what I give them. So, each month I pick some posts to preserve on this blog.

Sometime around July 8 to 11, this article made the rounds. It is an article that just won’t vanish, and as it’s passed around, the claims about it get more extreme. They completely misread the paper, which does not compare cloth masks to “no masks”. They compare medical masks and cloth masks to standard practice,…

I try to delete posts regularly, and archive some in posts to my own blogs. I know this is destroying the archival aspects of replies, and I guess that sucks, but… I feel like it must be done.
