Everything we’ve been told about it and fat is wrong.
I quit listening to them years ago, but this is criminal.

The Second Colorado Shooter
This isn’t good for the narrative:
There is a mental health crisis among American kids that is fueled by prescription drugs and the fake news media that thrives on fear-mongering. Until that is addressed, these kinds of events will continue. It’s clear that Erickson held deeply bigoted assumptions about Christians “hating gays” which is constantly repeated by the media and fuels this kind of violence.
The scientific community should be hanging their heads today too. Further research should be done to discover if artificially changing the hormonal structure of human beings increases aggression or psychosis. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and puberty blockers are given to children who think they are the opposite sex as young as 8 years old. Testosterone is known to be the hormone that regulates aggression. What studies have been done on the safety of administering testosterone to females during puberty? Are there any? According to a PBS report, the studies are few and the long term effects are unknown.
“The bottom line is we don’t really know how sex hormones impact any adolescent’s brain development,” Dr. Lisa Simons, a pediatrician at Lurie Children’s, said. “We know that there’s a lot of brain development between childhood and adulthood, but it’s not clear what’s behind that.”
We’re living in the crazy years.

When will we start to deal with the Columbiner subculture? As Glenn notes, it’s blowback in the war on boys.
Millennials And Socialism
How to talk to them about capitalism.
Our (mal)educational system is a large part of the problem.

Yes, Facebook and Twitter are setting themselves up to be actionable for libel. And Zuckerberg is a deep-pockets target.
Democrats
…have become what they claim to hate.
This is of a piece with the traditional psychological projection of the Left.
Victims Of Communism
Commemorating the tens of millions killed, and the many more lives blighted, should be the only way to observe May Day. As Glenn says, communists should get just as much societal opprobrium as Nazis.

A year there costs over $70,000.
A Space Resources Institute
There is a bipartisan bill from two Colorado congressmen to establish one.
I heard about this from George Sowers when I stopped by to visit him in Golden a couple weeks ago. Presumably, their goal is to put it in the Front Range, and probably affiliate it with the School of Mines, which currently has the only graduate program in this discipline.
Dentistry
People have far too much faith in the medical profession in general, but I’d have never put up with this kind of thing. I’ll always get a second opinion on any major dental procedure, particularly when the person recommending it is going to perform (and profit) from it. A few months ago, I broke a molar that had been weakened from a filling. But it was just the side, and the basic tooth remained intact. I got the dentist to grind it for a crown, and we avoided killing the tooth (for now, at least). I’m sure a lot of others would have recommended a root canal (though those are generally done by specialists).
