Going through newspaper accounts of mass murders is never fun. Sometimes, there are details that just seem especially sad when you see what happened at the end of the tragedy.
Overton, Nev. (1967)
08/29/1967: After threatening to rob a store earlier in the
day, a 23-year-old man robbed a bank, shooting to death three employees in the
vault. He died of diabetes in 1999.

Several charities said on Monday they had cut their links with Sarah Ferguson, Britain’s Duchess of York, after media reports that she had described the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a “supreme friend” in an email.
According to the Sun on Sunday newspaper, Ferguson, 65, the ex-wife of King Charles’ brother, Prince Andrew, sent the message to Epstein in 2011, weeks after giving an interview in which she said she would never contact him again.
Epstein had pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state prostitution charge in Florida and agreed to register as a sex offender.
The Sun said Ferguson, often known by the nickname “Fergie,” had emailed the disgraced financier to apologize for her comments and say he had always been a steadfast friend to her and her family.
I find myself wondering what they had in common.
The recent discovery of a sprawling SIM farm operation in the New York City area has revealed how these facilities, typically used by cybercriminals to flood phones with spam calls and texts, have grown large enough that the US government is warning it could have been used not just for crime, but large-scale disruption of critical infrastructure.
On Tuesday morning, the US Secret Service revealed that it had found a collection of facilities across the “New York tristate area” holding more than 100,000 SIM cards housed in “SIM servers,” devices that allow them to be managed and operated simultaneously. Due to the sheer scale of the infrastructure of this single SIM farm—and the fact that it reportedly came onto the Secret Service’s radar after it was exploited in “swatting” attacks that targeted US members of Congress around Christmas of 2023—the agency has warned that the operation, which has been at least partially dismantled, posed a serious threat of a disruptive attack on cellular service.
Given the number of SIM cards all under the control of a single operation, it could have “disabled cell phone towers and essentially shut down the cell phone network in New York City,” according to Matt McCool, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service New York field office....
The source tells WIRED that the Secret Service has confirmed that the SIM farm was used by organized crime, nation-state threat actors, and other individuals known to law enforcement. [emphasis added]
Yes. I get a lot of text spam. The nation-state threat actors is concerning.
I would think large purchases of SIM cards would be a red flag. This might be done by lots of small purchases (10 at a time) then consolidated into big buyer.
Well-known right-wing conspiracy buff Harvard School of Public Health:
When children are exposed to acetaminophen—also known by the brand name Tylenol or as paracetamol—during pregnancy, they may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD, according to a new study.
The study was published August 14 in BMC Environmental Health. Andrea Baccarelli, dean of the faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and professor of environmental health, was senior author. The study was led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and also included co-authors from other institutions.
The researchers analyzed results from 46 previous studies worldwide that investigated the potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use and subsequent NDDs in children. The researchers used the Navigation Guide Systematic Review methodology—a gold-standard framework for synthesizing and evaluating environmental health data—which enabled them to conduct a rigorous, comprehensive analysis that supported evidence of an association between acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and increased incidence of NDDs.
The dramatic rise in ADHD and autism suddenly has an explanation.
Savitra Mcclurkin said her son is being punished after disarming and disassembling a classmate’s gun at Dwight Rich School of the Arts. He took the gun apart and threw away the bullets, but didn’t tell an adult until later.
Mcclurkin said she’s been trying to get in contact with the Lansing School District for quite some time, but isn’t getting any response.
In search for answers, she made an appearance at Thursday night’s Lansing School Board meeting.
“He’s 11 years old. Seventh grade. Never been in trouble before,” said Mcclurkin.
Mcclurkin said he was able to disarm and disassemble the gun because of his hunting background. She said in the moment, her son was scared, and thought he was helping the other students around him.
Apparently he is trouble for not informing an adult immediately and identifying from whom he confiscated the gun. So they expelled him. Let's focus on the positive, school district.
I spent a couple weeks writing rebuttals to 16 expert declarations for May v. Bonta. A little background: California had no choice after Bruen but to go shall-issue on concealed weapon permits. So, like other states in this conundrum, they declared a big part of the state "sensitive places," where CCWs would not be valid. You have to pass a background check, a psychological test, and a firing test, but you cannot be trusted to not go crazy.
Bruen created this "sensitive places" test based on historic restrictions: courthouses, legislatures, and polling places. What places did California claim fit this? Places that serve alcohol, mass transit, schools (K-12 and universities), zoos, museums, parks, sporting events, and banks. Mass transit like light rail, BART, city buses, Greyhound, where there are never crazy people with knives.
A common theme of these declarations is that "children might be present." Yes, and so might mass murderers. Children present means we put a big sign at the entrance: Vulnerable people here.
What makes this interesting is that the federal district court judge who first heard this case issued a preliminary injunction against enforcement. This usually means she thinks it is likely to succeed on its merits at trial. California, of course, appealed that. The 9th Circuit Court of appeals upheld that injunction and sent it back for trial.
That first stage is MPI (Motion for Preliminary Injunction). They filed 14 expert declarations for that stage and in about two weeks I scrambled to write 14 rebuttals. This was not as bad as it sounds because many cited not a single law to meet Bruen's requirement: for laws from before 1791 or at least before 1868 that regulated the activity that States want to regulate today. These seem to have been quick money for professors who wanted to imagine that they were doing something for the cause of disarming deporables.
The State filed very slightly revised declarations by the same experts plus two more (one charging $1000/hour). Slightly revised almost always meaning changes to their list of qualifications and accomplishments (which were often impressive, especially when scompared to their declarations). Partly, this was because many were experts in fields far removed from weapons regulation and they seemed unfamiliar with the standards imposed by Bruen.
Writing rebuttals to these was more laborious than challenging because most were identical except for paragraph numbers. One exception: Patrick J. Charles had quoted a 1400 law banning any man carrying arms into churches. My MPI rebuttal pointed out that law's title said, "No Welshman shall bear arms." (Wales was in rebellion at the time.) This time he left out that law. There were still many other errors in his declaration to rebut.
The surprise order from the Trump administration imposing a new $100,000 fee on some visas set off a day of frantic travel as workers, companies and foreign governments scrambled to respond to Washington's latest immigration crackdown.
By the time the White House clarified that existing holders of the H-1B visas for skilled workers were not affected, the chaos had already been sewn: U.S. allies expressed concern and their nationals abandoned holidays, business trips and plans to see their families as they raced back to America before the new rules took effect Sunday.
President Donald Trump on Friday signed the proclamation requiring companies to pay the fee to obtain the visas, which major tech companies rely on to fill high-skilled jobs.
I have strong feelings on this. Theoretically the H1B visa is for workers with skills not available from U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Back in the 1980s, I was attempting to hire software engineers. The qualifications were not that high but after advertising in Silicon Valley and Los Angeles we received a small number of applicants, almost all of whom were unqualified or not citizens or residents. The guy on the top of the "If we get desperate" stack was a South African with both EE and CS degrees. We wanted to hire him. The H1B process was slow and clumsy. Proving that there was no qualified person already here required a lot of advertising. Only one applicant was even close and he did not want to move to Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley was a lovely place to live. Not yet expensive and with my friends when we went to Subway for lunch next to Computer Literacy bookstore and Fry's Electronics, we were in Nerd Valhalla.
Oh yes, that South African. We did eventually hire him. He was very skilled and became a good friend.
I later worked for a tech company that laid off hundreds of us while advertising for H1Bs with very ordinary job requirements. When I pointed this out, I was informed the ad ran in error. The hassle of H1B approval is greatly eased by high powered law firms who know how to work the system.
What's wrong with H1Bs? Many are probably useful additions to our workforce. They are generally working cheaper than Americans. I recall in the 1990s seeing articles about Russian software engineers working for Google in Silicon Valley for $1200/month, and living in cramped quarters like high-end illegal aliens. More workers means lower wages for all.
If you are here on an H1B visa, you cannot just change jobs. You are bound to that employer. Theoretically, you can get changed over to another employer but it is not easy. If your current employer lets you go, you need to exit almost immediately. This makes H1B employees easy to exploit.
A friend from Northern Ireland went to work for Micron as an H1B. During the little collapse of 2008, Micron laid him off. He had 10? or was it 90? days to leave America. He had bought a house here, so he had to sell it when the housing market had collapsed. He called this his "$100,000 American vacation." Some of suggested he learn Spanish and insist his name was Jose.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A man suspected of firing a gun into the ABC affiliate's office in California's capital had written notes in his car that were critical of Donald Trump's administration and a calendar reminder on his fridge to “do the next scary thing," prosecutors said Monday.
Nobody was hurt in the shooting Friday into the lobby of the studios of ABC10 near downtown Sacramento. Local authorities arrested Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, on Friday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and shooting into an occupied building. He was released hours later on $200,000 bail.
My mistake. "Orange Man Bad made me do it!"
A decades-long scientific debate over the origins of the Silverpit Crater in the southern North Sea has been resolved. New evidence confirms that it was caused by an asteroid or comet impact about 43–46 million years ago.
A team led by Dr. Uisdean Nicholson from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh used seismic imaging, microscopic analysis of rock cuttings and numerical models to provide the strongest evidence yet that Silverpit is one of Earth's rare impact craters. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.
The Silverpit Crater sits 700 meters below the seabed in the North Sea, about 80 miles off the coast of Yorkshire.
Since its discovery in 2002, the 3 km–wide crater, which is surrounded by a 20 km–wide zone of circular faults, has been at the center of a heated debate among geologists.
One of the big obstacles when searching for astroblemes (a scar on the earth's crust made by the impact of a meteorite*) is how much of the planet is under water.
* Let me whine. A meteorite is was we call it after impact. The scar is made by the impact of a meteor.
"Three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered the Estonian skies "without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes" over the Gulf of Finland, the government said.
Italy, Finland and Sweden scrambled jets under Nato's mission to bolster its eastern flank. A Nato spokesperson said it was "yet another example of reckless Russian behaviour and Nato's ability to respond"
At some point soon, NATO will shoot down Russian fighters and Putin will insist NATO is the aggressor. I think Putin's military and oligarchs will remove from power before gets far enough along to see Polish flags flying from the Kremlin. Russia could not even defeat a weak but courageous nation like Ukraine. Against NATO?
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Six days after a photo was taken of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker posing alongside a Peacekeeper, court records claim the man was part of a violent crash-and-grab burglary on Michigan Avenue and a crash that killed a young father, the ABC7 I-Team has learned.
Chicago police said it was a squad of seven who shattered the Magnificent Mile storefront of Louis Vuitton and sped off with hundreds of thousands worth of designer goods on September 11 before one the alleged getaway cars crashed into Mark Arceta's vehicle, killing the expectant father whose son was born the next day.
Police say a man listed as both Keller and Kellen McMiller was one of the seven fleeing thieves. Court records show McMiller had outstanding arrest warrants in Cook County, Florida, Wisconsin and Indiana.
Days earlier, McMiller had posed with Governor Pritzker at an event with Peacekeepers.
In a statement to ABC7 in response to an email asking about the picture with McMiller, Pritzker's office said, in part, "We were extremely troubled to learn that this individual was arrested for his alleged involvement in this serious crime, and we expect them to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law..."
Chicago has serious problems, 9/19/25 Shooting News Weekly:
Tough words spewed from America’s least popular mayor Tuesday. Murder City’s Brandon Johnson declared that law enforcement is “a sickness” that he intends to “eradicate.” The fiery, but mostly peaceful press conference also saw the feckless mayor demand and end to jails and incarceration for those who can’t manage to follow society’s laws and norms.
Johnson, with a single-digit approval rating at one point in his term, has found himself under a lot of pressure to do something to reduce the Second City’s rampant violent crime problem.
Trump is winning by getting on the 80/20 side of every split. Democrats now seem to trying to get on the wrong side of the 98/2 split.
What seems to be a new, unfired Glock 17 for $350 on one of the gun auction sites. We went to the range today and blasted a few hundred rounds through it to break it in. During that we had two stovepipes. The last few magazines were trouble-free.
I had forgotten how much I like the Glock. It is very accurate and the plastic frame absorbs a lot of the recoil.
"Friends of the 22-year-old suspect told the Daily Mail that Robinson — who allegedly left a sex-related gaming message on a bullet casing used to kill Kirk — used the account name “craftin247″ on multiple gaming and online platforms where he engaged in the fringe “furry” subculture.
"A Steam account with that name shows he downloaded and played a dating simulator called “Furry Shades of Gay” — which describes itself as a game of “love, queer relationships, hot gay sex and slapstick humor,” the Mail reported."
There are some stories so weird that I am glad that they make no sense to me. I was aware of the furry fetush, but I had no idea how far to the crazy its fellow-travelers were.
The case for actively promoting a return to traditional values gets stronger and stronger. Yes and driving the kooks out of the ivory tower.
One expert declaration cites a bunch of 15th century London ordinances banning carry of arms, not relevant under the Bruen framework. Cited on John Carpenter, Liber Albus: The White Book of the City Of London 580 (1861), https://www.google.com/books/edition/Memorials_of_London_and_London_Life_in_t/grDRAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=229&pg=PA228&printsec=frontcover, last accessed Sep. 17, 2025 is an ordinance that banned discharge not carrying of a weapon unfamiliar to me. It prohibits “Item, that no one shall shoot with a Stonebow.” [1] A stonebow was a crossbow that fired pellets or stones with considerable force.[2]
I find the idea worrisomely effective and likely silent.

This guarantees that California CCW holders cannot carry in much of the state. The goal seems to be to make much of the state a safe place for mass murderers. I have a number of sources that I cite in my rebuttal declaration to which I would like to provide links. (Their experts misrepresent laws frequently. I like to show that what I am citing really says what I claim?)

Thanks for your help."We’ll review some of the statements that our readers asked about and correct a viral social media post that got what Kirk said wrong.
"While he did say many of the statements, some have been misrepresented or not presented with full context."
Some are outright lies:
"A popular post on X incorrectly claimed that Kirk used a slur for Asian people.
“That time Charlie Kirk called an Asian woman in the audience ‘c—-’ multiple times,” the post reads, spelling out the slur in full, and accompanied by a montage video from TikTok. “He made millions off of his racism and sexism.”
"The video, however, does not show Kirk using the slur. Rather, as an X Community Note explains, Kirk was shouting at Cenk Uygur, a co-host of the Young Turks, a progressive online news show, and using his first name. The two men were at Politicon, an annual nonpartisan political convention, in October 2018.
“I live like a capitalist every single day, Cenk!” Kirk said angrily to Uygur, after Uygur interrupted a debate Kirk was having with the Young Turks’ Hasan Piker about what political views young people should have. “Come on, Cenk, let’s go,” he said later. "
Some are statements made to get across a political point:
"Another reader asked, presumably based on other online posts, “When Nancy Pelosi’s husband was attacked with a hammer, did Kirk encourage his audience to contribute to bail out [the] attacker?”
"Yes, he did. In the Oct. 31, 2022, episode of his show (at around 53:00 in the video), Kirk said the attack on Paul Pelosi was “awful” and “not right,” but he said that someone should bail out the assailer, David DePape, because cashless bail policies in certain cities allowed other people to commit crimes and be released from custody pending trial.
“And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk asked. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet his bail’s like 30[,000] or 40,000 bucks. Bail him out, and then go ask him some questions.”
“I’m not qualifying it. I think it’s awful. It’s not right,” Kirk said about the attack on Pelosi, who suffered a skull fracture after being hit in the head with a hammer. “But why is it that in Chicago you’re able to commit murder and be out the next day? Why is it that you’re able to trespass, second-degree murder, arson, threaten a public official, cashless bail. This happens all over San Francisco. But if you go after the Pelosis, oh, you’re [not] let out immediately. Got it.”
A few were clumsy statements that have been twisted as evidence that the very pro-Israel Kirk was antisemitic.
Of course, people who let social media tell them what to think accept wild claims without trying to verify them.
'•These drugs rapidly age the body, causing permanent and crippling side effects, including severe bone loss, pain, soft tissue damage, severe pain hormonal disruption, sexual dysfunction, psychiatric issues, cognitive impairment, cancer risks, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders."
I am generally skeptical of any claim involving Big Pharma because it usually appeals to conspiracy buffs who insist there's a cheap, one pill cure for cancer. (If there was, do you think United Healthcare would not have broken this loose to save billions of dollars a year?)
After watching a doctor speak at a Tennessee hospital about how trans/treatment was a big moneymaker, i can believe all sorts of evil in the medical industry. My own experience has been overwhelming positive.
Those who said it was not needed talked about the risk that we might leave on out and that absence would later be found to be evidence that no such right existed. One of these clever sorts asked if there was a need for a right to bury our dead? Before you laugh, England for a couple centuries required that you be buried in wool. So this 9/13/25 Telegraph article is no surprise:
Labour is plotting to make UK crematoria greener by banning gas cremation ovens and forcing grieving families to choose eco-friendly wicker or bamboo coffins.New rules for crematoria, drawn up by the UK environment department, are set to be upgraded to meet both new pollution standards and the UK’s commitment to reach the target of net zero by 2050 championed by Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband.Under the plan, the Government will seek to cut emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, including mercury from dental fillings, and airborne toxins from burning coffin glue and embalming fluid.
Even the 9/14/25 Guardian admits it was big:
Between 110,000 and 150,000 were estimated by police to have attended the event. The Met said in an update on Sunday that there were 24 arrests, including for common assault, actual bodily harm, affray and criminal damage.
That many arrests in a crowd of 150,000 people is not terribly high. That someone got the message shows:
The business secretary, Peter Kyle, said the number of people who turned out for the “Unite the Kingdom” protest – organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson – shows free speech is “alive and well” in the UK.
Kyle added that moments like Saturday’s demonstration were “klaxon calls to us in public life to redouble our efforts to address the big concerns that people right across our country have, and immigration is a big concern.”
"The teacher also suggested that Kirk deserved to be killed, and gave the young students a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues, according to a report."
I saw the video. Showing to children is utterly unacceptable; ranting in favor is utterly unacceptable. Teacher fired.

The cost of CFC is so high and the inability to undo on cuts is such that I am machining parts from Delrin first. As an example, there is one piece on the slow motion controller that slides on to either the RA or DEC axis. It needs a hole in the top where a 6-32 screw holds in place and .2" long slots on the sides to allow for some up and down adjustment to get a tight fit of worm gear to spur gear. It needs two holes in the bottom to hold threaded inserts into which screws through the base plate will attach. This results in the following Makefile entries. I will only make two of these but I want them exact matches.
