i'd kind of like to go out tonight and dance to some guitar-driven funk, but it's just too fucking cold.

the most recent mainstreet poll claims the following responses, which should really not pass any intelligent poerson's bullshit detector:

liberals: 23.9
conservative: 50.3
ndp: 18.3

and, yet they claim that ford has a net negative favourability rating.

so, you want people to believe that doug ford is running at 50%, and yet that 75% of people disapprove of him.

they then have the panache to present this as some kind of paradox.

they're probably getting a 30% undecided rate - but they're not publishing it. and, so the numbers are probably more like this:

conservatives: 35.21
undecided: 30.0
liberals: 16.73
ndp: 12.81

and, those undecideds probably hate everybody, but lean centre-left: they may not vote liberal in the end, but they probably won't vote for doug ford.

when the numbers tighten up, everybody will feign shock. it's all bullshit.

and, they should be publishing undecideds - that is a valid response at any stage in the cycle.

again: the recent round of polling in ontario is distributing undecideds, which is wrong in our spectrum, and is therefore not useful.

the numbers being reported right now are not a basis in which to be shocked by a close election, should it happen; unfortunately, even the companies are playing into the obfuscation, by presenting dishonest calculations.

until we get polling that is accurately reporting the level of the undecided vote, we have no reliable data in ontario.

i've suggested before that she's probably working for the cia.

whether that is literally or figuratively true is probably merely semantic; she'd might as well be, if she isn't, technically.

my guess is that freeland is ultimately more interested in what her friends in new york think than she is in the well being of the country she's representing. because, in the end, she's really just visiting isn't she?

she's certainly not acting in this country's interests, that's for sure.

freeland has been falling all over herself to appeal to american democrats in order to push this bullshit hoax of substantive russian interference in western elections.

the idea that she's some kind of a victim of russian intrigue is a joke; she brought this on herself.

the cold weather in ontario right now is consistent with all three potential explanations.

1) we've had a couple of cold summers in a row, here. this is consistent with the observation of decreasing solar output, as it pushes the jet stream down a little.
2) despite the physical errors in the model, it is consistent with the idea that it's being caused by melting sea ice.
3) it is also consistent with the idea that we live in canada, and we often have shitty springs in this part of the world.

my money is on (1). but, you need to look at longer term patterns regarding how the continuing decrease in solar output is going to affect the continuing increase in global mean temperatures, especially in the northern hemisphere. and, the difficult reality is that science can't tell you the answer with any certainty until it's already happened.

but, it is certainly not a reason to reject climate science.

i'm not fat; if anything i'm a little underweight.

but, the "fat guy on a computer" idea is much closer to the truth, when it comes to figuring out who i am.

and, the evidence demonstrating this is so overwhelming that only a complete fucking dipshit would argue otherwise.

but, this is a note to would-be trolls: the cia is so incompetent at what it does that if you troll it for whatever reason, it will spy on you.

forever.

to be clear:

what i am doing right now is running through a master document of comments i have put aside. it is 6200 pages long, but this is set to grow quite a bit as i copy data from 2016 onwards from the blog back into it. it contains posts i made to facebook, google+, youtube & all kinds of news sites, going back to about 2008. it is not comprehensive, but i do wish that it was...

i am taking comments out of that master document from 2013-2016 and posting them to two separate blogs:

1) the political comments blog:
http://dsdfghghfsdflgkfgkja.blogspot.ca

2) the music blog:
http://musicofjessicamurray.blogspot.ca

the reason i'm doing this is to create a combined master list for the music blog, going back to 1996. i have chosen 2015 as the start date for the political comments blog, but will eventual fill that in backwards, as well - with as much information as i can find. in the short run, once the gaps are filled, the political comments blog will exist from 2015 onwards.

the focus right now, however, is on the master list for the music blog, which is currently about 1000 pages, but is also going to grow quite a lot in the next few weeks. this needs to exist in these two mirrors from 2013 onwards. i will also be building it up in the alter-reality from 1996 onwards; i am very far behind on this.

i have to do this in order to close inri000, because the last part of the process is incorporating a pdf of the relevant portions of the music blog, which includes reconstructed notes from the 90s, and notes regarding the remastering process, from 2013-2018. this will be repeated for each release, moving forwards.

but, you're too fucking incompetent to even read that, aren't you?

"she's just working for the russians."

you fucking retards...
