Why it’s so institutionalized in higher education.

The Higher-Ed Bubble
Another sign that it is probably popping: Gen Z grads can’t get jobs. The scam has been particularly brutal on that generation. It won’t end well.
“No One Is Above The Law”
Not even Letitia James.
So much for her gubernatorial dreams.
The Court Packers
It would be hilarious if the Republicans muster up the cajones to expand the court and fill the new seats.
Howard Stern
The sad, pathetic end.
I was never much of a fan.
Commercial Space Station Policy
This is a good change, particularly if it lights fires under other contenders than Vast. But NASA should never have been in the business of “certifying” commercial space facilities. The industry does need to develop some building codes, though.

The Harvard Undergrads
Arnold Kling says to pity them, in the age of AI.

They thought they could get away with this because Trump wasn’t supposed to be reelected, and if he hadn’t been, it would never have seen the light of day. And “journalism” continues its corrupt downward slide into the abyss.

[Wednesday-morning update]
Yes, putting a nuclear reactor (in fact, several of them) on the Moon is a great idea, but it’s out of context with the policy mess. If we want to put reactors on the Moon, we have to come up with a scalable, affordable transportation infrastructure to get not only them, but lots of things there. We don’t currently have one, and no one in the administration seems to be concerned about it.
