If only there were some sort of field of study that could have predicted this.

Greta Thunberg
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.
[Update a few minutes later]
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.
[Bumped]
The Gateway Foundation
They gave a presentation on their rotating space hotel at the Space Settlement event in Seattle. They say they’re going to start construction (on the ground) on October 1st.
Trump’s KulturKamph
I continue to believe that he could be even more effective if he were able to turn down the volume of the Trump. He’s his own worst enemy.
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.
