Thoughts on his “polite authoritarianism.” It doesn’t seem all that polite to me.

Bloomberg as Mary Poppins is a trainwreck we can’t stop watching.

What arms are “common”?
Reconsidering Roger Stone
Am I supposed to have the sads that these hacks are no longer infesting the Department of (In)Justice? I call it a good start. And I’m sure they’ll get great gigs on CNN, like McCabe, Clapper, and Brennan.
Michael Avenatti
I’m think that this may not bode well for his presidential aspirations. CNN hardest hit.
Barr Gets Serious
He’s appointing an outside prosecutor to look into the Flynn case.
Even if he can’t get Sullivan to withdraw the plea, this investigation may turn up enough dirt on the prosecutors to justify a presidential pardon.
Meanwhile, McCabe isn’t going to be prosecuted, but that doesn’t get him his job or delayed pension back.
My Space Property-Rights Project
I’m not being funded for it this year, but I’m wondering who would like to contribute to keeping it going, if I do a Kickstarter? I’d need about twenty grand, much of it for required travel (including, potentially, Dubai for IAC in the fall). It would be to promote the ideas in my IAC paper from last fall.
[Thursday-morning update]
OK, to brainstorm a little bit, if I do a Kickstarter (as opposed to a GoFundMe or something else), any suggestions for rewards? Maybe a signed copy of the multilateral agreement(s)?

Right To Repair
Sacramento County says it is illegal to work on your own car in your own garage.
Californians should be stocking up on tar and feathers.
Seattle
…and its “liberal” reckoning. Your occasional reminder that there is nothing liberal about these kinds of policies.
BTW, I’ve been tied up with something for the past three days, to explain the non-posting.
California’s War On The Gig Economy
The Democrats in the House wants to make the brutality national.
I was approached by a guy in the Costco parking lot the other day with a petition to repeal AB5. I happily signed it (though I’m not registered to vote in CA). I don’t think that Sacramento understands how angry people get when you wipe out their livelihood. Fortunately, Cocaine Mitch will kill this monstrosity in the Senate.
[Late-morning update]
In California, protecting workers means outlawing their jobs.
Satellite Internet And Astronomy
A good overview of the problem, from Marina Koren.
