I wish that every time some politician (and Bill Nelson is definitely one of those) says that “Safety is the highest priority,” someone would ask them, “What is safe enough? When are you going to fly? How safe will it be then? If safety is the highest priority, why would you ever fly? Not flying is the only way to make safety the highest priority.”

The True Role Of The Central Bank

Ackman’s War To Make Universities Accountable
Good. Scorch the earth.
California’s Falling FOrtunes
The Democrats (including Newsom) continue to take a battle ax to the state.
I fear that with the departure of the sensible, the place is in a political death spiral.

It occurs to me that one of the absurdities that the DEI religionists attempt to impose on normal people (successfully at places like the NYT and AP) is to capitalize “black” as though it is some special privileged status. How does one determine whether a person is worthy of such a prestigious designation? Is Rachel Dolezal? As with being a man or a woman, is it simply a matter of claiming one’s status?
I refuse.

Carol Swain’s attorney demands answers from Harvard.
Apropo of nothing, I had lunch with Carol Swain in the fall of 2020 in Omaha (same event where I met Jay Bhattacharya).

Claudine Gay and the great DEI grift.
[Late-morning update]
The real scandal of the Harvard/Gay affair.
Yes, the lengths they were willing to go in defending the indefensible (almost) solely because they couldn’t bring themselves to provide a “victory” to a political opponent is sort of amazing.
Elon Musk
…is not understood.
A long, but thorough defense from Casey Handmer.
Sympathy For Claudine Gay
She is a piece of work. Be sure to get to the end where he roundly fisks her resignation letter.
