…that works. Let’s make her “unhirable in academia.”
These are the people who should be sued for defamation.

Seattle
…and its “liberal” reckoning. Your occasional reminder that there is nothing liberal about these kinds of policies.
BTW, I’ve been tied up with something for the past three days, to explain the non-posting.
California’s War On The Gig Economy
The Democrats in the House wants to make the brutality national.
I was approached by a guy in the Costco parking lot the other day with a petition to repeal AB5. I happily signed it (though I’m not registered to vote in CA). I don’t think that Sacramento understands how angry people get when you wipe out their livelihood. Fortunately, Cocaine Mitch will kill this monstrosity in the Senate.

Starship Production

One of the reasons I left Rockwell over a quarter of a century ago was that it had become clear to me that they were never going to do anything commercial in space. It annoyed management when I told them this, but they knew it was true; they weren’t in the space business, they were in the government-contracting business. We’ll see how this goes.
