Climate Hysteria

…is harming our kids.

Yes, she should be in school, but not in a school that has deranged her to this degree. And not only are not “all” of us coming to her for hope, but I doubt that many are. This is another example of government schools being a vicious form of child abuse.

[Mid-morning update]

An unrolled Twitter thread from a mother with an autistic child on why what her handlers are doing to her is so cruel and abusive.

[Update early afternoon]

She hasn’t cured her mental issues; she’s simply found a different outlet for them. But her adult enablers are doing her no favors.

Fox News cuts ties with Michael Knowles over calling Thunberg “mentally ill.”

I saw that segment, and the outrage (probably faux) from the Democrat. Well, he wasn’t wrong; she is clearly having problems, and shouldn’t be used as a prop for socialism.

The apotheosis of Saint Greta.

I’m glad Trump didn’t bow to her. I wouldn’t have, either.

[Update a while later]

The media is very protective of teenagers, unless they’re wearing MAGA hats.

[Wednesday-morning update]

Experts agree that restructuring the global economy is the best way to treat a child’s anxiety.

The Pork Barrel Rolls On

NASA has awarded Lockmart a long-term Orion production contract. Cost plus, natch.

This isn’t really a commitment. I’m sure the contract has a cancellation clause with a generous penalty. It’s primarily theater for Bridenstine to buy off the Colorado and Texas delegations, particularly after he pissed the latter off with his award of the lander to Marshall.

[Evening update]

Link fixed, sorry.

Carbon Capture

Elon wants to manufacture fuel from the earth’s atmosphere. He takes climate much too seriously.

Google And Facebook

They’re entering their toxic endgame.

I try to minimize my engagement with both of them, but with an Android phone, it’s hard to avoid Google. But I’ll never download or use an app for Facebook.

[Saturday-morning update]

The useful idiots of Silicon Valley.

They’re wrecked California, and now there’s a danger that they’ll do the same thing to the rest of the country.

All the Doomsdays

Zero out of the last thirty predicted have actually come to pass. Someone should show this to Greta Doom.

Biological Age Reversal

Can it be done with a drug cocktail?

I’ve known Greg Fahy for decades, going back to Alcor days, when he was doing research on organ preservation for the Red Cross, but which would be applicable to cryonic suspension. He was in Rockville, MD back then, but he’s now in southern California. Unfortunately, it’s out in Riverside, so not particularly convenient to visit him.

Iran

One of the things that gave us Trump was the fecklessness of multiple administrations on the Mullahs, who have been waging war on us for four decades. The Bush administration did nothing as they were killing our troops in Iraq, In the case of Obama (and John Kerry), it went beyond fecklessness, arguably, to treason (though there is no formal declaration of war).

Roger Simon says that the attack on the Saudi oil fields was this era’s Pearl Harbor, and it’s time to drop the hammer on them.
