  Things Going By James Howard Kunstler If this (first?) summer of Covid-19 has revealed anything about the current version of civilization, it’s the profound exhaustion of a culture reduced to going through the motions of its once-vital activities. A lot of things that we hope will come back are probably gone forever in the form we knew them, though they will eventually return in another configuration, reduced in scale, but perhaps finer in quality. I miss baseball horribly, and its sad, half-assed attempt to present a rump season with no live bodies in the seats only amplifies the loss. But then, I haven’t gone to a stadium in twenty years, and I certainly won’t pay a hundred bucks or more to sit in Fenway Park. I used to go to night games there all the time when I was a starving bohemian writing for the Boston hippie newspapers back in 1972. You could get a decent field-level seat behind first base for five bucks. When I was a kid in Manhattan in 1960, a bleacher seat in the old...

  “Coronavirus affects almost the whole body including mental health. Researchers have found that some patients suffer from hallucinations and perception disturbance,”  writes  Der Spiegel,  a quite reputable German magazine. One might question this report issued by the German publication, referring to a poll carried out among British doctors, the results of which were published in  The Lancet Psychiatry  Journal. But numerous publications of other media outlets around the globe support these conclusions, as does another pandemic sweeping through the world on the back of Coronavirus — the political insanity of a number of politicians and public figures. These are but a few examples openly demonstrating the current “achievements” in this area around the world. As  Fox News  reports, being absolutely serious, the fact that Russian ballerinas of the Bolshoi Theater use make-up to depict dark-skinned characters caused a sharp negative reaction of Mist...

However the explosion started, it looks like it’s only going to end one way. It’s been three days since the explosion that destroyed a large part of Beirut’s port district, and though the cause is still unclear, the political fall-out is taking shape. The official story is that  nearly 3000 tons of Ammonium nitrate , stored in the warehouse there for nearly 7 years, was ignited by a fire. Early reports were of a fireworks shipment, that has since been refuted. Although this seems improbable, and the details about the Russian ship abandoning its cargo so long ago almost too convenient, there’s no direct evidence, so far, that it is untrue. The lack of clarity has seen speculation run rampant. Some people have suggested the explosion was some new technology or even a nuclear device. We have seen no evidence to support this as yet, and the independent scientists we asked told us the visual evidence was consistent with a nitrate explosion. Some videos claim to show something – perhaps ...

Keeping schools closed, as many teaching unions want, will cause more injuries and deaths to children and long-term damage to their educations. Yet the threat from Covid-19 to them – and to their teachers – is tiny. Has the world ever been more frightened of something less frightening? For people aged seventy and above, who have underlying health problems, Covid-19 is something to be extremely concerned about. For those under twenty, the risk of death is almost non-...
