New thoughts on its evolutionary origins.
This reminds me somewhat of Axelrod’s evolution of cooperation.

Lock-Down Cost/Benefit Analyses
Robin Hanson does what few others have. Bottom line: we are at serious risk of having done or doing too much lock down.
Not This Joe Biden
No, here‘s the Joe Biden who probably sexually assaulted Tara Reade.
And why should we be surprised? He’s always been a vicious, arrogant, misogynist creep, not “good old Uncle Joe.”
I hope he’s still the nominee, though. The doddering old fool will be mincemeat in a debate. But ask me what I really think.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Alyssa Milano wants you to believe Tara Reade, maybe.

On the Democrats’ “sudden onset of respect for due process.”
Nothing “sudden” about it. All that matters is the political party of the accused.

Press spins themselves into oblivion over rapey Joe Biden.
The Great Filter
Has the virus given us a preview of it?
Good Riddance
Looks like they opened the box, and the fat little dictator is dead.
Unfortunately, no reason to think that whoever replaces him will be better.
Flynn Was Framed
…and his attorneys are seeking immediate dismissal for a blatant Brady violation:
They should be the ones going to jail.
Death By Meteorite
The first credible evidence of it. These aren’t the ones we really need to worry about, though, and there’s not much we could do about them if we did. We need to focus on the city killers (or worse).
Ventilators
Nearly everyone put on them in New York died.
So much for “life saving.” Of course, the problem is that by the time it’s so extreme that they decide to put you on one, it’s probably too late. But this shows that the ventilator panic was probably pointless.
We’re learning rapidly how to deal with this, but we’ve unfortunately lost a lot of unwilling guinea pigs. It reminds me of what I say in the book: Every aviation regulation is written in blood. People always have to die or be injured for us to learn.
Biden And China
He’s taking flak from the Left for his latest idiotic campaign tactic. Hilarious.
You’d think by now that people would realize that if you want to judge Trump’s actions toward another country, you have to actually observe what he does, not listen to what he says about their leaders. But they’re idiots.
The Second Amendment
Virginia Democrats complete their shredding of it.
Let the lawsuits commence.
