by me, Kerry Burgess, 05/06/2026 04:16 AM
Began composing in my mind several minutes ago the possible next blog-post by me here on my blog
Began thinking of that one excursion I made to downtown Spokane, among several I made for this same purpose, with baffling results over the past decade and more
Looked it up in my archives. Day was 11/30/2022, according to files recording my previous work
I wanted to do this for one reason: it was a very good day of snowfall here in Spokane
After this past season's crappy results I have to wonder if we are entering an extreme snow-drought period similar to that the mainstream-media is screaming about with California.
Never mind that cutting down trees in urban areas creates a false sense of warming temperatures, never mind that polluters are going to gleefully pollute with absolutely no regard for the persistent damage you are causing and don't care about
I don't get out much anymore. I still think about my digital-camera hobby and I enjoy especially nature scenes. Probably over for me, the way things are now. Because I don't get out much
Discovered the date in my archives of the day I started thinking of. Then I noticed something I made only a cursory note at the time about that previous day: ChatGPT.
It remains such a stupid and gimmick hyped up by that retardoid Sam Altman and that equally retardoid Elon Musk - those not-for-merit lottery-winners - that I did not give it any regard at the time.
Now I think about it only because of how my thoughts today lead me to that place to notice it again
Idea formed in my conscious-mind, decided to follow through and to discover anything I might find interesting - patterns of my original-work that became apparent only after I got back and sit down at my desk and began operating my original-work software designed solely by me for this precise purpose.
"Trilogy of Error"
Hilarious!
When the thought first formed today on this track I was not completely certain of the precise date
I could remember that it was the last day of November and I was thinking that was the day I went to that specific place in downtown Spokane, a new sculpture. A surprise snowstorm helped get me outside
After my initial review of my archives file, I understood those were two different days: 11/30/2022 and before that was 11/07/2022.
My review of 11/30/2022 was enough to make this an interesting note and I was satisfied enough to let it go today with only that content from me, but nope, I am compelled to check both for a pattern I recognize

I was back there in Ashdown on vacation around the time Windows 95 released and I remember Mickey showing me a copy of Windows 95 he had just bought. I went to work as a contractor about two months after Windows 95 released.
by me, Kerry Burgess, excerpts from my private journals:
03/18/07 1:09 PM
As best I can recall, my first day on that Windows 95 telephone support assignment was 10/23/95, but I am not entirely certain of that date. All I remember is something about how I started work there precisely 2 months after Windows 95 released, but I don't see how that can be if it released 8/24/95. Maybe that release date is wrong. I do remember that I was in that first class for my 30th birthday on 11/2/95. I also remember sitting there at a computer during an exercise that used an image of Bill Gates. I edited the photo to make him look like a clown. Carol was sitting next to me, as she also did at the other desks, and laughed and told me I had missed my calling.

Elroy-El: And that is?
Paul Wang: It was on your person. On your clothes we found remnants of the oil used as accelerant on the missiles in the fire. And when that failed, you stole this radio-controlled device and turned it into a detonator, using electronics from your own body.

I did not detect any indication of the craft's position on my S.A.43 lidar. And I believe that it is capable of broadcasting false information. The craft had a fuselage.

Weather - not climate - is a feature I use in my work with my original-work code-pattern
Weather can be directly modified so I must consider that fact, unprovable by me and my lack of resources
When Jeremy LaGoo - on the local live-tv news channel I prefer - uses the term "long range winter forecast" then he should laugh out loud
His segment I saw today - first broadcast yesterday, from their schedule - features his apology for last year.
But, nope, no apologies for this year. We're really in for it this year.
Sure, we probably got more snowfall *last year* and its mediocre totals than I saw my entire childhood in the south USA
Few days ago, compiled a list of observations I have made. Waiting until this years first snowfall to post it, for no reason other than I like the snowfall here in Spokane, and really, wish there was more. On average, accumulated snowfall each winter is almost 4 feet.
We haven't seen any yet but my guess is that it is certainly within about 10 days from now. No point looking for precision in any of their forecasts -from any source- beyond 2 days, 3 days at best.
Wanting to post a note on this, I decided to compile another list
As much as I hate the superstition of Christmas (never forget the true meaning of Christmas: Superstition!), Jeremy LaGoo did mention "white Christmas" in his long-range forecast so I have compiled a list of my observations for here in Spokane for the past 12 years I have been here and snowfall on Xmas Day.
I don't have any topics in mind presently for my next brilliant, I-am-the-world's-foremost-genius blog-post. I am going to view those final two episodes of "Invasion" season 3, not sure when. Perhaps the next episode of "Travelers" I have not yet viewed.
USS Missouri. Get it? After viewing episode 2 of "Pluribus"?
They're speaking words to me on Up With KREM on my tv-screen that makes me think of a topic to research in my original-work code-pattern

Leading climate scientists agree: Warming hiatus was real and we're doubly screwed
By JAKE ELLISON, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF Updated 9:10 pm, Wednesday, March 23, 2016
Basically, unless the volcanoes blow again, as they did in the early 1990s, we're in for a warming rebound that will shock even the alarmists.
So, yeah, the global mean surface temperature appears to have leveled off during a time of vigorous pumping of carbon into the atmosphere, according to some of the world's top climate scientists. And that's not going to mean shit in a decade or two.
So, instead of a feather in the climate-change-denialists' cap, that sentence or something like it will be one more piece of evidence against us ... those of us who let it happen when we had a shot at stopping the madness. It'll be one more factoid in the litany of doom we communicate to young people as we shrug. And if it wasn't true ... if the world as we know it wasn't already dead carrion floating upon the stagnant ocean water ... it'd be a crime.
But, according to all the people dedicated to climate science: We' re really, really in for it.
And that hiatus — used to obfuscate the truth of anthropogenic global warming among those determined to do so — is only the technical byproduct of scientists trying to get the details right. If they can, if they understand the data better, the picture their computational models paint of the future will be closer to what happens.
"If you look more carefully at the physics that are going on in the ocean and the atmosphere and so on, then it's clear there has been a slowdown," said John Fyfe, a senior research scientist at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis. Fyfe is also lead author on the controversial report "Making sense of the early-2000s warming slowdown" published under peer review in the journal Nature Climate Change. He has also been a lead scientist on reports from the world's main climate board, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
So does that means our carbon emissions are not tied to global warming, since we pumped as much as we could into the atmosphere during the 2000 to roughly 2014 warming slowdown? 'Cuz, more carbon didn't immediately mean more warming?
"No. We're not saying that at all," he told us. "What we haven't said is that human-caused warming, which is due to increase in greenhouse gases, has slowed down at all. It's carrying on, but superimposed upon that background of ongoing warming are fluctuations and sometimes these fluctuations can be quite long, from 10 to 20 years long. And, we've been in a cooling fluctuation now since about 2000."
In short, some climate scientists have been involved in a technical squabble over what range of dates to use when determining the warming trend, and that's important to them because it forces them to fine-tune their understanding of all the data from previous decades. That data is used to spin up models of what future warming could look like. The better they understand the data, the better future models get.
"We make the point in our commentary that we have reviewed and summarized and we have a pretty good understanding why that (hiatus) has happened. And it was primarily due to the combination of internal variability in the ocean, in the Pacific Ocean. It went through a cooling phase. It was sort of a natural internal fluctuation that's been quite persistent.
"There's that and there's also a sequence of small volcano eruptions that started around 2000. They've been putting sulphur particles into the stratosphere that has been reflecting solar radiation away. So the combination of volcanoes and internal variability, we believe, explain the slowdown."
Great! So, we're all going to be okay!? Ha.
"There's evidence now that that cooling is reversing and the El Nino we've seen this year, we believe, is part of that. We're expecting that this long-term cooling that we've seen is about to reverse or has reversed, and now we'll potentially have rapid warming on top of the warming that's due to the increase in greenhouse gases."
Crap. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of telling my kids, young adults now, that their world is heading for cataclysmic disaster. So, we can lie. Or, really folks, we can just decide to absorb the pain now and switch our economy away from burning fossil fuels.
(BTW this rebound is exactly what would happen if we tried to geoengineer a cooling solution to warming without reducing carbon: When the machines pumping the sulfur or whatever into the atmosphere to reflect the sun's radiation back into space stopped, sputtered or stalled ... the rebounding warming would be too fast for humans societies to adjust to, a University of Washington study found.)

Old news: Why a New York Times editor blocked Epstein Pulitzer
Max Tani
Wed, May 6, 2026 at 11:43 AM PDT 3 min read
The Scoop
A years-old fight among the judges of one of the most coveted prizes in media over a major investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has spilled into view as the story of the late, disgraced financier continues to ripple through American institutions.
Earlier this week, the Pulitzer Board, which presides over the prestigious Columbia University-based awards organization, announced the winners for this year’s top journalism prizes. But among the awards was an unusual announcement: The Board would be awarding a “special citation” for Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie Brown’s 2018 series, Perversion of Justice, that raised questions about the federal government’s prosecution of Epstein, and effectively re-opened the investigation.
The Miami Herald had submitted Brown’s work for a Pulitzer Prize nearly a decade ago when her series was first published. But it did not win an award in 2018 or 2019, a decision that multiple people familiar with the situation said was due to the significant concerns of at least one Pulitzer jurist.
Joseph Sexton, a top New York Times editor who at different times ran the Metro and Sports sections, voiced strong concerns that Brown’s reporting didn’t include enough substantially new information to deserve the award, two people familiar with the deliberations that year told Semafor.
Another person, one of the 2019 judges, David Boardman, alluded to the situation in a post on X, saying a “well-known editor” had staged a “campaign from inside the jury” against Brown receiving the award.
In an email to Semafor, Sexton called Brown’s work “commendable and consequential.” But he said the “most explosive elements of her reporting had been previously published, both in news articles and books.”
“I and others on the jury felt the work was not the best entry for a category that greatly values fully novel reporting,” he said. “The work’s impact on the public’s appreciation of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and the troubling performances by local and federal authorities was considerable, and I raised the possibility that the entry be moved to another category — public service or explanatory, perhaps. Nothing came of it. The Pulitzer board encourages its juries to engage in both robust debate and its own inquiries into the distinctiveness of all entries. It was a seven-person jury, and the majority vote required to advance Brown’s work as a finalist did not happen.”
Brown declined to comment.
Know More
While the Pulitzer board often grants citations for broad categories of journalists like those covering the wars in Gaza and Ukraine or to influential journalists posthumously, it’s unusual for the organization to grant citations for relatively recent nominees. Brown’s citation earlier this week was seen by some close watchers of the award as a kind of corrective.
Boardman’s decision to share details about the judging process similarly raised eyebrows in some journalism circles. Pulitzer judges are asked to keep deliberations about the awards private, and debates about the awards process rarely become public.
Notable
Brown prevailed in a legal battle with an investigator and source who had agreed to develop a book about Epstein with her after the stories came out. But in a story about the legal dispute, some sources for Brown’s reporting described it as a creative and timely rehash of older material. “It was all old stuff,” attorney Brad Edwards said of the Herald series to the Miami New Times. “But I thought the timing and the way it was put out there was brilliant. It made everybody finally watch what we were doing.”
