Why the right foresaw it.
This isn’t about anti-racism; it’s about western civilization itself.

Sorry, I see that it’s paywalled. Ed Driscoll has an excerpt.

Joe Biden’s Dementia
55% of people think he’s in the early stages of it. I disagree. There’s nothing “early” about it. Of course, it’s not like he was ever that bright to begin with.
John Roberts
Seven times he has been a leftist hack. As is often the case with a justice nominated by a Republican, he has been a disappointment. We need to be looking places other than Harvard and Yale law.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton rightly excoriated him.
Soft Totalitarianism

A conservative pretends that there is allowable debate in America.

Black Lives Matter must be beyond criticism. Professor Jacobson is clearly guilty of wrongthink.

I haven’t read it, but Mike Combs has a new short story out.

Keith has blocked me on Twitter, and I suspect I’m on a lot of blocklists. I follow a lot of space people, like Carolyn, but only engage them on space and science topics.

Technology
Which one has accidentally killed the most people?
I agree with the historian who says that the question is ill framed.

This sort of reminds me of Bloomberg’s expert advice on how to grow stuff.
He Can Always Serve As A Bad Example
Not the Bee or the Onion: James Comey will teach a course on ethical leadership at William and Mary.
Drone Hitchhikers
This is an interesting idea. Having the ability to charge while on the buses would enhance the idea.
It reminds me of some of the concepts for planetary exploration with a “mothership” and flocks of cubesat “birds” (e.g., to send a bunch, or consecutive waves, through the plumes of Enceladus to capture data in both time and position).
