What the Redacted Affidavit Didn't Say
There is a fairly new tool in criminology called geographic profiling. It was pioneered in Canada in 1989 and has become an increasingly popular tool in criminology. The overarching concept of geographic profiling is taking a look at the locations of a string of crimes to determine the likely residence of a criminal. While researching a novel about a decade ago, I added a new wrinkle that I called "the black hole effect". As the retired FBI agent explained it, it's the absence of evidence in a locality that could prove illuminating. Criminals such as serial killers and k... read more

The Energy Price Rise Silence
As promised, Ofgem raised the energy price cap again. From the start of October gas and electricity will have standing daily charges of 28p and 46p respectively. This is up from 3.6p and 14p before prices started galloping away. Per kilowatt hour, that will be 15p and 52p. The average household bill's increasing from £1,971 to £3,549. This is nothing less than a catastrophe. People are going to die while millions face destitution, and tens of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses are going to close. Public bodies also face a cash flow crisis and without injections of funds ... read more

Indian Workers Defend Their Steel With Their Lives
The virus of deindustrialisation that beset North America and Europe in the 1970s created a field of scholarly literature on post-work and post-industrial society. These writings led to the curious assumption that the digital economy would be the primary motor of capital accumulation; there was marginal interest in the fact that even the digital economy needed infrastructure, including satellites and undersea cables as well as plants to generate electricity and gadgets to link to the digital highways. This digital economy is grounded in a range of metals and minerals – from copper... read more
Liberals Love Liz Cheney
Soon to be former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney is the flavor of the month for liberals. The cause of the undeserved adulation is her condemnation of Donald Trump and his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Conversely, the idol worship from democrats has reached bizarre levels, including support for a Liz Cheney presidential campaign. Of course that was Cheney’s goal all along.

Foundational Fairytales And The Lies They Tell On Books, Children And Truth
There used to be a time in occupied America when only whites were allowed to write, read, and publish books.

"Confessions of a Marine Corps sensitivity trainer"
Courtesy of Martin van Creveld's blog, I discovered an article with that title published in 2000. It made me laugh out loud, both for the incongruity of its title (after all, the Marines are known for breaking things and killing people, neither of which requires exceptional sensitivity!) and for its humor. Here's an excerpt. Back then, there was racial tension. Lots of racial tension. So the Marine Corps decided that everyone should have Human Relations (HumRel) instruction, 20 hours worth, spread over five mornings.

The Department of Justice released an affidavit Friday that is central to the FBI’s search of President Donald J. Trump’s Florida home in Mar-a-Lago. As expected, the document is heavily redacted.

This giant laser can simulate a planet’s core
Understanding the innards of exoplanets could help the search for alien life. As astronomers search for life outside our solar system, they have to try and answer one big question: What’s the recipe for a habitable planet? We tend to think about the ingredients we encounter every day: liquid water, the protective blanket of the atmosphere, a sun that is neither too warm nor too hot. But there are other factors that are probably equally important: Earth’s cooled and hardened crust, its gooey molten guts, its magnetic field, its volcanoes and deep sea vents. These are the features ... read more

Biden's failed Presidency
Glenn Reynolds: ... As Time magazine reported shortly after the 2020 election, a “cabal” — Time’s word — of “left-wing activists and business titans” worked to get rid of Trump. It pushed mail-in voting. It moved to block election fraud suits brought by Trump and supporters. It employed social media censorship to mute pro-Trump arguments and amplify anti-Trump arguments. It sponsored protests. Time calls this a “conspiracy to save the election,” but in truth it was a conspiracy to save the election for the Democrats.
