Russia’s Space Program
…is in big trouble.
My biggest fear is that if they can’t play in the sandbox, they’ll crap in it, which they are perfectly capable of doing. It’s always much easier to destroy than create, which is what they’ve been doing in Ukraine.

Sorry, link is there now.
Fauci
He’s been a national catastrophe.

How We Forgot Pol Pot
Revisiting the killing fields.
If Marxism means enforced equality, its ultimate endpoint is this. Individuals cannot be ‘allowed’ as they might be ‘different’, they might laugh or be happy, unlike others. Beauty – physical, artistic, sexual, spiritual, intellectual – must likewise be ruthlessly extinguished, because it too prevents a Marxist Utopia. Beauty is unfair. It must be eliminated.
Does this matter? Yes, because we live in a time when kids think Marxism is cool again. When self-confessed Marxist Jeremy Corbyn is seen as an amusing old uncle.

There are no heroes here.

A comprehensive explanation, and what it potentially means.
Newsom’s corrupt years of lobbying and donations pay off.
Woke Colleges
…are literally driving students crazy.

The diversity dean is just a symptom of a much bigger problem at Stanford, and other law schools.
