[Late-morning update]
The need for Elon.
“…The likelihood of skewed priorities with the operational mindset within a company that displays this kind of lack of viewpoint diversity is stratospheric. When a GOP donor is harder to find on the payroll than a vegan cannibal, you have to expect that a uniform level of thinking would become entrenched. When every single person in the offices sits in the same bubble, those overseeing the enforcement of the terms of service will not question things when questionable decisions are made…”
Zero Tolerance For Tolerance
Thoughts on the Marxist hijacking of the language by the Left.
Our Failed Covid Response
A long but excellent history and analysis of perhaps the greatest public-policy blunder in history.
The Democrats’ Problems
They can’t fix them by November.
Yes, you can’t climb out of a hole that you’ve been digging for years in six months (even if you have the sense to even stop digging, which they don’t seem to have). This is bad news for an ever-terrible political party, but good news for the Republic.
Trans Ideology
How it dehumanizes women.
Brendan O’Neill made the sacrifice of reading a vile heap of insanity from a Berkeley professor, so you didn’t have to.
Footprints On The Moon

Covid Closures
How they took a toll on the kids.
Many of us frustrated by the lengthy school closures were enraged by a statement we found far too dismissive and even callous: “Kids are resilient.” (The great Mary Katharine Ham tore this apart back in January.) All too often, that was a blasé slogan designed to excuse an intolerable status quo.
Our kids aren’t necessarily resilient, and we didn’t like having their need to be resilient shoved upon them by teachers’ unions who kept dragging their feet on reopening schools and public-health officials who deemed birthday parties, travel, summer camps, visiting grandparents, etc. an intolerable risk.
Infuriating.
Progressive Intellectual Life
Thoughts on the end of it.
