  • TWO SIDES OF A VERY FINE LINE 2 October 2026
    The line between inanity and insanity has become so fine that deciding who, and what issues, fall on which side, comes down to a toss-up between disastrous and laughable. Faced with a threat from AI that is so serious even the sorcerers have asked for help in controlling what they conjured, President Donald Trump had […]
  • 100 ISN’T JUST A NUMBER IT’S A TESTAMENT 25 September 2026
    My mother just turned 100, So instead of ruminating on the fatuous and the feckless who are ruining the world, this week’s post  is an unabashedly prideful reflection on making it better by what she would call “just getting on with it.” The standard trope for that is  “a life well lived”, but that would […]
  • OBVIOUS CLUES FOR CONTROLLING AI 18 September 2026
    To make sense of the point-counter-point, jargon-riddled, self-serving debate over control of the development and dangers of AI, think Formula One, and an observation by an ancient Greek philosopher. Creators and proponents of AI are in thrall to the idea of being  in a race. And like all racers, they seem to relish the danger […]
  • TWO AT ONCE VERSUS ONE OR THE OTHER 12 September 2026
    A clue as to why the problems that beset the world seem intractable lies in the sad fact that the only vote against a UN resolution for  a small but positive contribution to resolving them, was cast by the U.S. delegate. The resolution was for a plan to adopt a world map that reflects the […]
  • THE ABSURD HAS BECOME THE OBSCENE 4 September 2026
    Much as I hate to admit it, punditry (dread word) is on a par with variations of the old adage that today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s birdcage liner. Barely ten months ago, I posted an offering entitled “When Absurdity Passes for Wisdom”. It noted, among other things, the AI industry’s resistance to regulation and President Donald […]
  • THERE’S JUST NO PLEASING SOME PEOPLE 25 August 2026
    Canada curtailed the wildfires enough that President Donald Trump didn’t impose tariffs over the smoke. Now he’s slapped on 50 percent ones because Canadians are apparently ingrates. After trade talks between Canada and the U.S. broke down Trump wrote on his dubiously-named Truth Social vanity outlet: “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without […]
  • DEAR AI COULD I HAVE A HUMAN PLEASE 14 August 2026
    This week’s post is being written in trepidation of déjà vu. Last week’s effort didn’t make it online until Sunday, because a glitch in the website drove me, against my will, to enter a version of Hell  — the mind-masticating maw of AI. The clue to what was about to befall was in the fine […]
  • SOMETIMES REALITIES CAN BE A CHOICE 9 August 2026
    Mathematicians took 2,300 years to prove squaring the circle is geometrically impossible. In one day, six kayakers and two loons showed me why it became the perfect idiom for trying to reconcile two conflicting things .The kayaking part came in the form of half a dozen young people paddling past our cottage, chattering over loud […]
  • GREAT EXPECTATIONS, MEET REALITY 31 July 2026
    The Trump administration and Iranian leaders reaching a comprehensive and lasting peace deal, is about as likely as pair of pyromaniacs agreeing to design and pay for a new fire station.    But no one with experience or expertise in the Middle East has expressed the opinion that either side can “win” the war militarily.… […]
  • ALL WE CAN SAY IS SORRY, EH? 24 July 2026
    Dear President Trump; Your rants and threats to impose 50 percent tariffs over smoke from our wildfires blowing into the U.S. have, as we Canadians say, seriously cheesed us off. So I feel compelled to live up to our stereotype and say Sorry, eh?  We should have taken note, rather than umbrage, at your assertion […]
