Pilgrim, the Michael Sussmann trial has revealed that not only is he guilty … but so is the FBI, Hillary Clinton, her campaign execs, Obama and his posse … and, depressingly, very much of our Deep State. If the accountability for this corruption stops with this trial, our country may never again be noble. — Fletcher

“First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting ‘Oh my God.’"
President Biden has good intentions. He believes that we must go through an “incredible transition’ away from fossil fuels … see: Our Incredible Transition. Unfortunately, we must do it on his schedule … which is by tomorrow. If this destroys our economy or starts World War 3 …. well that’s just the price we will have to pay!
But what if your premise is wrong, you demented old fool?

Elon Musk’s recent sexual harassment accuser has disclosed that he made her sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in exchange for $250,000. Now, Pilgrim, don’t you find the whole concept of a NDA under such circumstances, real or imagined, somewhat self-defeating?
If there were a NDA and this female accuser broke it, what recourse would Elon have? If he accuses her of breaking it, he is admitting to its existence and to the alleged offense, pretty much. So he must let her off with breaking her vow … and allow us to conclude that her ethics are in such disrepair that she likely embellished the original accusation.
There are such squirrelly people … as we have seen over and over.

Elon Musk has torn the bandage off the gaping wound of social media — the artificial inflation of their active user statistics through the use of bots (short for “robots” … computers pretending to be active users by logging onto web sites). Since advertisers pay based on the number of active users, these social media giants may well be padding their profits with such subterfuge … shameful.
I myself have noticed occasional spikes in readership of this blog … which is managed by Blogspot, a subsidiary of Google (Alphabet). These bots … be they internal (or even Russian), would triple or quadruple the daily hits overall … but, interestingly, not show up on individual post numbers.
Pilgrim, since I don’t carry ads on this blog, these shenanigans benefitted neither Alphabet nor myself. So, to me, it’s mox nix.

STAND UP FOR TWITTER!
My grandfather had a term for cotton candy. it was “gap and get nothing.” This aphorism might be applied to the “active user” statistic supplied by Twitter to its advertisers … advertisers who pay Twitter good money based on these numbers.
Twitter has stated in government filings that the percentage of bots in its active user population is less than 5%. But Elon Musk has suspended his offer to purchase this company until he gets a better handle on what this real number is. Speculation in the business media is that the real number might be north of 90%! Wow!
Imagine what a Twitter advertiser must feel about this possible swindle! American lawyers should be salivating over the potential litigation hurricane that is in the offering just over this company … let alone if this grift has become customary among the other social media ilk?
Afterward: And Musk’s takeover price for Twitter may end up quite a bit lower?
