What are they good for? It seems to me they were mainly good for the pro-abortionists to hold the line against any restrictions on it, or any notion that embryos might be worthy of consideration as humans. Unlike them, I’m very glad that adult stem cells now seem to be the gold standard.

Free-Market Meat
Some thoughts on the tradeoffs with animal cruelty. I would love to get pork in a cruelty-free way, and I’d vastly prefer factory-manufactured steak and bacon, if it was indistinguishable in every way from that obtained by killing cattle and pigs.
[Update a while later]
This seems related, somehow: Vegan “pork” rinds.
I disagree with this, though:
Apparently, the gourmands have discovered pork rinds. Yes, the deep-fried, not at all good for you, salt-laden, very high fat, treat found rarely if ever outside the US South or (as chicharones) where there is a sizeable Mexican consumer pool.
They’re actually quite keto, because low carb (close to zero). There’s nothing wrong with high fat, as long as it’s not seed oils.
Welcome To Intersectional Brotherhood Week
It’s not much of an improvement on National Brotherhood Week, but everyone still hates the Jooz. And so the saga continues. It won’t end well.
“We’re At The Barnstorming Phase”
An interview about our future in space with Jeff Bezos.
He doesn’t really say anything that I haven’t been preaching for literally decades, but it’s nice to see that (finally) someone with money gets it.
Life Among The Wokescolds
A frightening dispatch from the educational apocalypse. One note, though.
Amidst all the imbecilic angst over the "sexual assault" by the sailor on the nurse, it's worth noting that they weren't celebrating the defeat of the Nazis — that had happened three months earlier. They were celebrating the end of the war, with the defeat of Japan.

Netflix
I am not into this kind of movie, so most of their offerings will be leaving me cold.
[Update Wednesday afternoon]
Netflix is doing a “wellness” series from (“Goop” loon) Gwyneth Paltrow.

Dogma
Thoughts on it, and infanticide, from Jonah Goldberg.
Colorado
Why would any state want the rest of the country to determine its electoral votes? Why even have states (which, like the Electoral College, the Left hates, at least when they lose). Sadly, this insanity is probably Constitutional, but the Founders would weep.
The Earthrise Image
Bob Zimmerman says it wasn’t “rising.”
[Update at noon on Christmas day]
Half a century after shooting the picture, reflections from Bill Anders (who heartily endorsed my book at a NASA meeting a couple years ago).

Trump, Conservatives, And “Neocons”
Some intellectual history from Jonah Goldberg, on the demise of The Weekly Standard.
