Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Apologies for the delay in getting new sand.  In future sandboxes I'll try to notify readers of topics I cover in subsequent commentaries so that their topical comments can find the appropriate comment stream.  gjr]

  • [It’s remarkable how well these C19 utility functions perform in their ability to predict the statements – ranging from policies to pabulum – of the three cohorts today exhorting us to do this vs that. For those comfortable with such models of the realworld, they compress a whole lot of explanatory power about the debate…

  • [Feliz Cinco de Mayo compadres!  And re Corona beer about which you've all heard the story?  You haven't?  Well, they had a big international beer judging competition in Munich to which all the major and wannabe brewers sent their various brews for judging and receiving the prestigious awards.  The Corona folks also sent their finest. …

  • [Autocracy rising, even more.  Two California docs dared cross the hallowed political divide of rope-selling capitalists at Google’s YouTube and give a reasoned criticism of California’s C19 lockdown diktat.  It made it on to YouTube, and then was promptly taken down by its corporatist toadies. (more here)  Meanwhile, Gov Nuisance appears to start seeing a…

  • [I again remind readers that the Sandbox is for opinions, insights, and issues not covered in my other recent topical commentaries and posts.  Now isn't this blog a pain in the ass?  gjr]

  • [Now that we're back to mudball fights, we should take them to a fresh sandbox.  I'm constantly amused by our lefty readers not refuting/citing the facts but simply dismissing them on the basis of their dislike of the publisher or broadcaster.  Haven't seen rightwinger dismiss what came out of Maddow simply because it came out…

  • [As one reader echoed the warning to Julius – 'Beware the Ides of March!'  Lot is happening in these trying times.  I have posted 'Testing, testing, testing, …' for the continuing discussion of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Please deposit your topical good thoughts there.  gjr]

  • [Just happened to visit Nevada County Voices, an info website run by our favorite climate catastrophe czarina, Dr Anna Haynes.  It appears that since the passing of Russ Steele, RR remains as the sole active 'rightwing' website in these parts.  On her resourceful site we are properly relegated to the extreme right column that is…
