My side lost, so democracy is still in peril, but it was fun.

  2. Party machinery. Get involved. Eric was elected to Republican Precinctman--Perry 19--Monroe County unopposed and to Delegate to the Indiana Republican Convention as one of 7 running where 6 could win, and was part of Micah Beckwith's 891-828 upset victory for the Lt.-Governor nomination. Helen is his VP. To learn how to be a ward heeler, read Alfred Steinberg's The Bosses (1972), a Defense against the Dark Arts text.
  2. Supreme Court amicus briefs. James Bopp was my lawyer, on very short notice. "Brief of Amicus Curiae Eric Rasmusen in Support of Respondents in 22-555 and Petitioners in 22-277, NetChoice v. Paxton," United States Supreme Court (2024). The large social media platforms are natural monopolies and common carriers, which should be regulated to forbid discrimination. My side lost, so democracy is still in peril, but it was fun.
  2. More Korean TV: The Jewel in the Palace (2003), a 54-episode 16th-century palace drama, the 10th-highest grossing Korean drama of all time,and Father I'll Take Care of You (2016), a 50-episode series about married children coming back to live with their parents.
  2. Grand Maison Tokyo (11 episode Japanese series, 2019). A Japanese chef disgraced after a scandal in Paris joins with a Japanese owner to try for three Michelin stars in Tokyo. Corny, but good, with lots of French food video.
  2. Go Down Moses, William Faulkner (1942). Connected stories about blacks, Indians, whites, and the vanishing of the wilderness.
  2. Bluesky, the X competitor. It really is better-- but too few people. X will copy its improvements, but Bluesky will survive as a niche for professors.
  2. Central Indiana family restaurants: Martinsville's Indy's American restaurant and Sergeant Pepper's for chicken, Lafayette's Las Brazas Number Two tacqueria, and the famous Triple XXX diner in West Lafayette.
  2. Fandangos. Soler's Fandango in D, like Boccherini has, but for harpsichord. Scarlatti has a harpsichord fandango too.
  2. ChatGpT, for Python programming. You can ask it to code a task, or give it your own code and ask it to find the errors and fix them.
  2. The Comfort Women Hoax: A Fake Memoir, North Korean Spies, and Hit Squads in the Academic Swamp, Mark Ramseyer & Jason M. Morgan, (388 pp., 2024).
  2. Noticing: An Essential Reader (1973-2023), by Steve Sailer (2024). See Charles Murray's Claremont Review review.
  2. Saturday Night Live on the 3 College Presidents' Testimony before Congress (7 minutes 2023) is very funny.


Also-Ran: A short video of a map on the Korean War. TinyURL.com pdf merger and deleter. smallpdf.com. Corning Glass Museum. Testifying in the Statehouse. Pi, much more intereting than I thought. Staying in Chinateown in an AirBnB Hung Cao's TV ad for the Virginia Senate race (3 minutes). Rainbow Chips and Trader Joe's Russet dark potato chips.Salt and Pepper flavored Pork Rinds. tennessee. Isaiah verse on bag. 41:10. Shostakovich movie music. He wrotes lots of this, and I like it better than his quartets and symphonies. E.g., "The Return of Maxim" Op. 45.
