"The word Yosemite (derived from yohhe'meti, "they are killers" in Miwok) historically referred to the name that the Miwok gave to the Ahwahneechee, the resident indigenous tribe. 

 Previously, the region had been called "Ahwahnee" ("big mouth") by its only indigenous inhabitants, the Ahwahneechee. 

The term Yosemite in Miwok is easily confused with a similar term for "grizzly bear", and is still a common misconception" 

"Humans may have first entered the area 10,000 to 8,000 years ago, with Native Americans having inhabited the region for nearly 4,000 years. European Americans entered the area by 1833 and just look, blood"  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park 

"The 1848–1855 California Gold Rush was a major event impacting the native population. It drew more than 90,000 European Americans to the area in 1849, causing competition for resources between gold miners and residents. 

 About 70 years before the Gold Rush, the indigenous population was estimated to be 300,000, quickly dropping to 150,000, and just ten years later, only about 50,000 remained.

The reasons for such a decline included disease, birth rate decreases, starvation, and conflict. The conflict in Yosemite, which is known as the Mariposa War, was part of the California genocide,  

which was the systemic killing of indigenous peoples throughout the State between the 1840s and 1870s. 

 It started in December 1850 when California funded a state militia to drive Native people from contested territory  

to suppress Native American resistance to the European American influx"

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic#:~:text=First%2Dorder%20logic%2C%20also%20called,.%20is%20mortal%22%20are%20predicates.

"First-order logic, also called predicate logic, predicate calculus, or quantificational logic, is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science.  

First-order logic uses quantified variables over non-logical objects, and allows the use of sentences that contain variables.  

Rather than propositions such as "all men are mortal", in first-order logic one can have expressions in the form  

"for all x, if x is a man, then x is mortal" 

; where "for all x" is a quantifier, x is a variable, and "... is a man" and "... is mortal" are predicates. 

 This distinguishes it from propositional logic, which does not use quantifiers or relations;: 

in this sense, propositional logic is the foundation of first-order logic." 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic#:~:text=First%2Dorder%20logic%2C%20also%20called,.%20is%20mortal%22%20are%20predicates. 

"First-order logic is the standard for the formalization of mathematics into axioms"  

"The first mention of the number line used for operation purposes is found in John Wallis's Treatise of Algebra (1685) 

In his treatise, Wallis describes addition and subtraction on a number line in terms of moving forward and backward, under the metaphor of a person walking." 

"The natural numbers are used for counting things, like "there are six coins on the table", in which case they are called cardinal numbers.  

They are also used to put things in order, like "this is the third largest city in the country", which are called ordinal numbers.  

Natural numbers are also used as labels, like jersey numbers on a sports team, where they serve as nominal numbers and do not have mathematical properties.  " 

'While propositional logic deals with simple declarative propositions, first-order logic additionally covers predicates and quantification.  

A predicate evaluates to true or false for an entity or entities in the domain of discourse." 

"There are two key parts of first-order logic. 

 The syntax determines which finite sequences of symbols are well-formed expressions in first-order logic, while  

the semantics determines the meanings behind these expressions." 

'Unlike natural languages, such as English, the language of first-order logic is completely formal, so that it can be mechanically determined whether a given expression is well formed.  

There are two key types of well-formed expressions: 

 terms, which intuitively represent objects,  

and formulas, which intuitively express statements that can be true or false. 

 The terms and formulas of first-order logic are strings of symbols,  

where all the symbols together form the alphabet of the language." 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic#:~:text=First%2Dorder%20logic%2C%20also%20called,.%20is%20mortal%22%20are%20predicates.

As a demonstration of the principle, consider two contradictory statements—"All lemons are yellow" and "Not all lemons are yellow"—and suppose that both are true. If that is the case, anything can be proven, e.g., the assertion that "unicorns exist", by using the following argument:

We know that "Not all lemons are yellow", as it has been assumed to be true.

We know that "All lemons are yellow", as it has been assumed to be true. 

Therefore, the two-part statement "All lemons are yellow or unicorns exist" must also be true, 

 since the first part of the statement ("All lemons are yellow") has already been assumed,  

and the use of "or" means that if even one part of the statement is true,.

 the statement as a whole must be true as well.

However, since we also know that "Not all lemons are yellow" (as this has been assumed), the first part is false, and  

hence the second part must be true to ensure the two-part statement to be true, i.e., unicorns exist 

 (this inference is known as the 

 Disjunctive syllogism).

The procedure may be repeated to prove that unicorns do not exist  

(hence proving an additional contradiction where unicorns do and do not exist), as well as any other well-formed formula.  

Thus, there is an explosion of true statements. 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion 

 "In classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and similar logical systems, the principle of explosion[a][b] is the law according to which any statement can be proven from a contradiction. 

That is, from a contradiction, any proposition (including its negation) can be inferred; this is known as deductive explosion."

Pay taxes Kennedy Trump take a solo shit

  

"These are kids who will never pay taxes,” Kennedy declared. 

 “They’ll never hold a job.  

They’ll never play baseball. 

 They’ll never write a poem.  

They’ll never go out on a date.  

Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.  

We have to recognize we are doing this to our children.” 

Kennedy’s years of anti-vaccine activism have centered in large part on autism, framing it as a “preventable disease” and epidemic driven by environmental contaminants.  

A lawyer by training, with no medical background beyond freelance taxidermy,  

Kennedy has consistently peddled misinformation about autism and autistic people, presenting the condition as a vaccine-driven scourge." 

"I have a book of horror poetry that will be coming soon from Kith Books that’s found poetry from Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart Is a Chainsaw.  

Poetry doesn’t generally pay for itself, most poets are not just poets.  

That’s why I fuck it with my work as an attorney." 

"It’s completely dehumanizing. He didn’t lead with “poet.” He led with they’ll never pay taxes, they’ll never have a job. It’s just “useless eaters” rhetoric." 

"He is using the straight-up eugenicist playbook. 

 People who can’t go to the toilet by themselves are still people. People who can’t write a poem are still people. I doubt [Kennedy] can write a poem, but he’s still a person."  

"What does he do? He chainsaws the heads off dead whales and leaves bear cubs in Central Park.  

And I don’t think it’s performance art. I think it’s just that he’s creepy. What has he ever really done, other than have a last name?" 

 

(After his father's death, Kennedy struggled with drug abuse, which led to his arrest in Barnstable, Massachusetts, for cannabis possession at age 16, and his expulsion from two boarding schools: Millbrook and Pomfret. 

 During this time, some in the Kennedy family regarded him as the "ringleader" of a pack of spoiled, rich kids who called themselves the "Hyannis Port Terrors", 

 engaging in vandalism, theft, and drug use.[21][22] His first cousin Caroline Kennedy later blamed Kennedy for leading other members of their family "down the path of drug addiction", calling him a "predator" 

At Harvard, Kennedy continued his" experimentation" with heroin and cocaine, often with his brother David, earning a reputation that has been described as a "pied piper" and "drug dealer". ) 

Flush, poetry.

"What this is all really about is capitalism. “Oh, they’ll never go to the toilet by themselves. That’s a miserable existence.” Plenty of people need assistance going to the bathroom whose lives are rich and full—who will write poems, who will paint pictures, who will do things, and he doesn’t actually care whether we’re creative or not. He doesn’t actually care whether we’re writing poetry or not. It’s just the same old rhetoric over and over again that we get from eugenicists."

THE PRETENSIONS OF POVERTY

“Thou dost presume too much, poor needy wretch,

To claim a station in the firmament,

Because thy humble cottage, or thy tub,

Nurses some lazy or pedantic virtue

In the cheap sunshine or by shady springs,

With roots and pot-herbs; where thy right hand,

Tearing those humane passions from the mind,

Upon whose stocks fair blooming virtues flourish,

Degradeth nature, and benumbeth sense,

And, Gorgon-like, turns active men to stone.

We not require the dull society

Of your necessitated temperance,

Or that unnatural stupidity

That knows nor joy nor sorrow; nor your forc’d

Falsely exalted passive fortitude

Above the active. This low abject brood,

That fix their seats in mediocrity,

Become your servile minds; but we advance

Such virtues only as admit excess,

Brave, bounteous acts, regal magnificence,

All-seeing prudence, magnanimity

That knows no bound, and that heroic virtue

For which antiquity hath left no name,

But patterns only, such as Hercules,

Achilles, Theseus. Back to thy loath’d cell;

And when thou seest the new enlightened sphere,

Study to know but what those worthies were.”

What's half a point fascist twit felon

  

"The fact Trump could not ignore was a mass sell-off by investors of US government bonds. But what exactly are bonds, how are they traded – and why are they so central to the current crisis?

What is a  twit bond? 

                  Fascist Twit Felon

A bond is a certificate confirming that its owner has lent money to a specified borrower that will be repaid at a fixed date, 

 typically with a fixed rate of interest.  

Known as fixed-income securities, they appeal to investors who want stable returns."  

Bonds can be bought and sold like shares on a secondary market – an exchange – but, unlike shares, they offer guaranteed annual returns. The bond market is the world’s biggest securities exchange, worth almost $130tn (£99tn), with the US market accounting for about 40% of debt worldwide.

Government bonds are usually sold to financial institutions in auctions, and can then be resold on the secondary market for more or less than their face value. 

Bond yields represent the amount of money an investor receives for owning the debt as a percentage of its current price. When the price of a bond falls, yields rise. The yield is commonly referred to as an interest rate, or the cost of borrowing to an issuer. 

Rising yields suggest dwindling appetite to own the debt among investors, which can be influenced by a range of factors including an issuer’s ability to repay. For governments, this centres on the prospects for the country’s economy and finances.

Inflation expectations also have a significant impact. This is because

 inflation undercuts the future value of money 

received for owning the debt. 

This means investors could demand a higher yield 

 to compensate for the risk.

And because other financial products, such as mortgages, are priced off the yield, there is a spillover into the broader economy.

What have Trump’s tariffs done to bonds?

At first the US president considered his tariff plan to be working, having anticipated stock markets would react badly to tariffs and the dollar would fall. 

Trump was sure the bond market would remain calm because  

he promised

 to pay for tax cuts later in the year.

 with revenues from tariffs, 

meaning the US government could limit the number of bonds it issues,  

keeping supply and demand in sync and putting

 a cap on overall government debt levels. 

However, the tariff war has prompted fears of a US recession, making it riskier to lend to the US. 

There are concerns that the US will become locked in a titanic struggle with China, 

which would damage both economies over a long period and drag down global growth.

In response, investors have sold US bonds 

in huge quantities, 

 driving down their value 

and sending the yield higher, making future government debt more expensive to issue.

Where did this leave Trump?

There was a fear in the White House that paying a higher interest rate 

on national debt 

would increase the government’s annual spending deficit, 

adding pressure to an already stretched budget and increasing 

the overall debt mountain.

Worse, the $29tn market in US treasuries is the bedrock of the global financial system

 and heavy selling could put pressure on other parts of it,

 forcing banks or other institutions to default and causing a wider financial crisis. 

the effective interest rate

 on a 10-year Treasury bond is

 at 4.52% on Friday April 11th

 compared with 3.99%  

on 4 April. "

Despite its commercial success, the song has been criticized for its maudlin sentimentality.

 and perceived sexist undertones,  .

and has appeared in many "worst songs" lists.  

It was voted the #1 "Worst Song of All Time" in a poll conducted by CNN.com in 2006.

Peter Reilly, in a February 1975 review of the album from which it originated, for what was then known as Stereo Review, stated that the song "defeats critical evaluation with the same brashly sure grasp of the popular mood as his equally dismal "Diana" of years ago. 

 Everybody knows Anka can do better (he proved it easily with "My Way"), but he still composes and sings as if he were working on his first million and his fondest wish was an appearance on Dick Clark's show.

CLINTON, NEW JERSEY— (December 7, 1975) "Who are these people?" asked a young female inmate of the Correctional Institution for Women at Clinton as she entered the prison auditorium dressed in a white evening gown, walking confidently on glittery platform shoes.

"Don't know," answered her male companion, an inmate dressed slightly more conservatively, "but Roberta Flack will be here."

"These people" were Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Allen Ginsberg and the rest of the Rolling Thunder Revue. The night before playing at Madison Square Garden on behalf of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, they had come to this almost pastoral medium security prison in the northwestern part of New Jersey to entertain Carter and his mostly black fellow inmates. The results were almost predictable: standing ovations for Roberta Flack and confusion over the uneasy meeting of Rolling Thunder and prison society.

Flack's fans were obviously familiar with the three songs she sang, moving comfortably to "Killing Me Softly," "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and "Feel like Making Love." And Joan Baez, who seemed most at ease in dealing with the prisoners as captive human beings, sang and danced with a graceful casualness that got the audience cheering and clapping. When Baez invited 26-year-old Willie Rogers, one of the 100 male inmates housed separately from the 200 women at Clinton, to dance the Bump with her onstage, she broke completely through the invisible curtain that existed between those who could leave after the concert and those who could not. There was more applause when Baez thanked the authorities "for making it so easy for us to get in"— and then said, "I just wish they'd make it a little bit easier for you to get out."

Dylan was treated respectfully, but an apparent lack of familiarity with his songs and the lack of a danceable beat kept the prison audience seated and a bit inattentive. Only when he and the others sang "Hurricane" did the revue ensemble capture the attention of the inmates. "Hurricane" was also the only number during the entire concert that caused Rubin Carter to listen intently and tap his foot to the rhythm.

Later, Carter called Dylan's song about his "false imprisonment" a "masterpiece" and said that his "white brother" Dylan was "a musical genius." He praised the musicians for coming to Clinton and drawing attention to his case, but warned that "frames won't end with Rubin Carter and John Artis." (Artis is the other man convicted of murdering three people in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966.)

"Hurricane" aside, the greatest response was reserved for Allen Ginsberg's poem, 'Kiss Ass." The prisoners clapped and cheered as Allen, dressed in a conservative brown suit and narrow Fifties-style tie, delivered the poem:

Kissass is the Part of Peace 

America will have to Kissass Mother Earth

Whites will have to Kissass Blacks, for Peace and Pleasure,

Only Pathway to Peace, Kissass. 

Joni Mitchell, on the other hand, was hooted for the softness and lack of spirit in her songs. When she replied, 

 "We came here to give you love; if you can't handle it that's your problem," several prisoners traded looks of resignation.

After the show, one musician offered this assessment: 

 "It was a pretty piss poor performance. .

We were uncomfortable, didn't know what to expect. 

 After all, we've played to nothing but white middle-class audiences on the tour."

Music in Nazi Vance Blip Amnesia

  

"Grenell also wrote: “Your people also booed and harassed the vice president Vance

 who simply wanted to enjoy music  

with his wife for a night. Who is the intolerant one?”

Last month, an audience booed JD Vance and his wife, Usha, as they took their seats  

at the center’s National Symphony Orchestra concert in response to Vance and his allies’ attacks on alleged “improper ideology”  

at Washington’s cultural institutions." 

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/kennedy-center-richard-grenell-yasmin-williams

 

"Music in Nazi Germany,  

like all cultural activities in the regime, was controlled and "co-ordinated".

 (Gleichschaltung) by various entities of the state and the Nazi Party, with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and the prominent Nazi theorist Alfred Rosenberg playing leading – and competing – roles. .

The primary concerns of these organizations was to exclude Jewish (woke) composers and musicians from publishing and performing music,  

and to prevent the public exhibition of music considered to be "Jewish", "anti-German", or otherwise "degenerate", while at the same time promoting the work of favored "Germanic" composers, 

 such as Richard Wagner, Ludwig van Beethoven and Anton Bruckner. These works were believed to be positive contributions to the Volksgemeinschaft, or German folk community." 

'The Nazis promoted Aryan ideologies through heavy censorship and cultural control,  

blacklisting Jewish compositions, banning specific concert hall performances,  

and controlling radio content in order to promote nationalism through cultural unity. .

By controlling the mediums of communication, the Reich Chamber of Culture was able to dictate public opinion  

in regards to musical culture, and reaffirm their hegemonic beliefs"

When Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party took power in Germany, it stepped in to control these cultural music products as part of its general policy of Gleichschaltung or "co-ordination".  

They wanted neither a simple return to nineteenth-century Romanticism nor a continuation of Weimar avant-garde but also no experimentation 

As with most other aspects of the governance of the Third Reich, the personal views and preferences of Adolf Drumpf  Hitler played a significant role in the Nazi control of music. 

Don Hitler's normal modus operandi was to create overlapping and competing agencies within both the Nazi Party and the German state apparatus, and allow the heads of those agencies to "work toward the Führer".  

Hitler would either make his preferences known, or, if he did not, the agency leaders would make assumptions about what they were, and then – usually without specific orders or guidance from Hitler – they would gear their decisions to what they believed he wanted.  

The overlapping of the various competencies would often lead to conflicts,  cat fights,

which would then be brought to Hitler for ultimate settlement.  

Hitler, however, did not like to make these decisions, and often let the situations fester  

for long periods before he either made a snap decision, or one choice had become the most obvious one to seleck." 

"after the creation of the Reich Chamber of Culture, Goebbels had the upper hand "

Just as Vance claps, salutes simultaneously, maga.

In regard to music, Hitler had definite views as to what was acceptable and what was not. He was passionate about the music of Richard Wagner, but  

denounced most contemporary music – which featured atonality, dissonance, and disturbing rhythms  

in many cases influenced by what Hitler referred to as "nigger jazz" –.

 as being "degenerate" (see below) and elitist. 

 Soon after Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, contemporary music concerts, as well as Modernist and Expressionist scenic design and staging of operas were cancelled, " 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_in_Nazi_Germany

 

"Ziegler positioned the show as presenting examples of Cultural Bolshevism, saying at the opening ceremony:

'What's been gathered together in [this] exhibition constitutes the portrayal of a true witches' sabbath  

and the most frivolous spiritual-artistic cultural bolshevism and a portrayal of the triumph of subhumanity,

 The building that houses Colossus is the size of 13 football fields and Musk has said he plans to double that. 

Artificial intelligence requires an immense amount of energy to carry out computations and provide quick responses to user queries. 

 For example, a query with ChatGPT needs nearly 10 times as much electricity as a typical Google search query,"  

"xAI already has contracts to draw 150MW of electricity from Memphis’ local utility, which is enough to power 100,000 homes a year.

"Boxtown began as a community for emancipated slaves and freedmen soon after the signing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, in Shelby County on the southern boundary of the City of Memphis. 

 Boxtown was so-named because its houses resembled railroad boxcars. " 

December 2019, Plains All American Pipeline and Valero Energy Corporation announced their plans to build the Byhalia Connection Pipeline. 

 This pipeline would start in southwest Memphis to Marshall county, Mississippi, crossing through Boxtown. After being referred to as

History:

The Memphis Defense Depot opened in 1942 as a logistical support facility for the military during 

 World War II, storing supplies and 

 eventually becoming a storage facility for hazardous materials. 

Superfund Site:

In 1992, the site was placed on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) as a  

Superfund site due to contamination of soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment from waste releases. 

Closure and Redevelopment:

The depot closed in 1997 as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission and was converted into the Memphis Depot Industrial Park. 

Remediation and Restoration:

Remediation and environmental restoration activities have been ongoing since the depot's closure, 

 with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) initially responsible for cleanup and restoration,  

followed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2010.  

Ongoing Activities:

The DoD maintains overall responsibility for site cleanup  

and long-term stewardship, with oversight provided by the EPA  

and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). 

Current Status:

The site is now a mixed-use industrial park with ongoing groundwater monitoring and  

potential for additional investigations and changes to the selected remedies. 

Community Involvement:

There has been considerable interaction between the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), EPA, and Memphis-Shelby County Health Department (MSCHD) with residents of the DDMT area to address health concerns and solicit input. 

Success Story:

The Memphis Depot Business Park has been successfully converted from a once vital military base into a modern industrial park, and in 2004, the Association of Defense Communities selected it as the  

Facility of the Year in its awards of excellence program.

"Shale producers have continued to innovate over the years, learning to  

bend drill bits horizontally and drill longer distances.  

Triple-fracking requires the same amounts of sand and water as fracking one well at a time, but uses them more quickly, 

 meaning Chevron needs 60% more water and sand per day when using the technique, Newhook said.

That creates a logistical challenge for sand and water supply, with more than 10 trucks arriving per hour to deliver sand to the well pad.

The company has also begun fracking three wells at a time in another shale field, the Denver-Julesberg basin in Colorado"

"It may be harder for buses to stay on schedule as traffic congestion grows in the future,” TriMet says.

'That’s largely because project leaders feel they must maintain ample access for car drivers,  

 instead of devoting more space to more efficient lanes for buses and bikes.  

 Since bicycle access on 82nd has already been ruled out,

and the political support does not appear to exist for reducing automobile access,  

TriMet is now exploring additional investments they say will be needed to keep buses moving. 

TriMet released an online open house today that asks the public to weigh in on three options under consideration: "

 

"TriMet hasn’t revealed pricing for each option, but Option One would be the cheapest. Option Two, More BAT Lanes, would be at least twice the cost of Option One.  

And the intersection widening proposal would cost four times as much as Option One.  "
