I’ve never abandoned this blog, but I have been posting to it a lot less, for a number of reasons (less time, other outlets). I didn’t move to Facebook, but I do spend a lot more time on Twitter.
John Hinderaker says it was a mistake for conservatives to move from the web to social media. Glenn has also noted recently that the old days of blogging were a lot more free wheeling, with less ability of the left to control it. Anyway, I’ll try to do more here.
I’m back in the states, (back to Florida for a couple days, then back to CA on Friday), and I woke up to this story from Sarah Hoyt over the latest mau mauing of the left against a sane SF writer.
I grew up reading SF in the sixties; I don’t know what happened to it. The Left apparently has to corrupt and rot everything it touches.
Michael Barone points out the obvious.
News outlets ignore millennial skepticism about it.
And some students do a walk out in support of the Second Amendment.
But that doesn’t fit the narrative.

Yeah, you can bet the administration at the Rockledge high school would have loved to punish the students for the walk out, but they knew the wrath that would descend upon their hypocrisy if they’d done so.

The teenage demagogues.
I agree with Glenn, just make it eighteen, period. The health-insurance issue is particularly absurd. Just nutty.
[Evening update]
Sorry, bad link fixed.
It’s hard. Very hard.
If you don’t read Sarah Hoyt every day, you should.
…struggle to achieve even average reliability.
Mind blowing . . . makes blogs look relatively reliable, since comments and wider discussion quickly point out any flaws https://t.co/5yEL637k3v

He didn’t just crush Cathy Newman in debate; he provided her with some much-needed therapy.

Conor Friedersdorph isn’t impressed with Newman.

Six words the Left twists to silence you.
He left out “liberal,” though that’s more of a false flag than to silence, per se.
Thoughts from David Solway, and slightly less-recent ones on post-modern “progressivism” from Sarah Hoyt.
…are an atrocity against the First Amendment and against a fundamental purpose of a university. As Glenn says, the officials themselves should be personally liable. That would put an end to this fascist nonsense.
