Yes, there is something demented (and sociopathic) about them.

So Much For Prigozhin
Guess that airplane threw itself out a window.

Doesn’t seem that smart to me to have the top echelon of your leadership on the same plane. Surely Putin can’t expect Wagner to any longer fight for him any more.

Merging Lanes
You’re probably shifting out of your lane too soon.
Driving back from Yosemite on Thursday, Caltrans had shut down the right three (out of four) lanes on I-5 in Castaic. We lost one lane at a time, and the first merge was the slowest. Each next one sped things up, until we were all in a single lane, and moving at a reasonable speed. Part of the problem was that much of the traffic in the right lane was trucks (we were already in the left lane when the backup started). It added about twenty minutes to the trip time.

No, it never was a laughing matter. But Raskin is certainly a clown.
VirtualBox Problem
[Wednesday update]
For those interested, ‘modprobe vboxdrv’ did the trick.

I was running Windows 10 in it on the Fedora host, and it crashed. I updated the entire system and rebooted. When I tried to restart the virtual machine, I got this message:
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing ‘/sbin/vboxconfig’as root.
If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system’s documentation for more information.

When I run the config, I get this:
When I look in the log, I get this:

Podcasting versus Reading
An interesting discussion between Jordan Peterson and Vivek Ramaswami. This seems very weird to me: “…most people are a little slower reading than listening, and that means they are really capable of absorbing more complex material than they’re willing or able to read.”
I’m just the opposite. I don’t have the patience to listen to someone tell me something, and I don’t retain information well that I take in through my ears. It’s why I hated lectures in college, particularly when they were just repeating the textbook, which I could read myself much faster.
The Politics Of The Hunter “Investigation”
An analysis based on the Hunter-team emails.
The fix was in from the beginning, with the primary goal as avoiding the exposure of Joe’s corruption.
