Gen Z
The Democrats abused them for years, and the Stupid Party didn’t even try to capitalize on it.
The Corporate Media Jihad
I’ve been complaining about this since the start of the pandemic. The degree to which the issue has been ignored by the health establishment is criminal.
Reason On Space
The December issue of the magazine is all about space. It’s the first issue they’ve done since the last one a decade ago.
Things We Learned Only After The Election
Not to mention the money laundering to the Democrats via Ukraine by the guy who imploded FTX.

This whole thing is just insane.
Lab-Grown Chicken
I’m glad to see progress on this front (it could be a huge boon for space settlement), but I’m not sure that having the imprimatur of the FDA adds much to it.
Community College
Yes, it’s a much better alternative for many students. It’s what I did in the 70s.
Democrat Donor Monsters
We have a new one.

A Fool And His Money
Jeff Bezos wants to give away his fortune for climate and unifying humanity.
Interestingly, there is no mention of space, even though he has famously claimed that his goal is to see billions of people out in the solar system. At the Space Settlement Summit in the wrap-up session on Friday, the NSSers were bemoaning the lack of public support for and knowledge about the potential of opening the solar system to economic development, and wondering how to change that.
I noted that Mr. Bezos, both as one of the word’s wealthiest men, and a media mogul, could do a lot to remedy that if he chose to. They said, “but he’s given us a million dollars to promote space,” as though a) that is a significant amount of money in the context of both his fortune and the amount that he is ostensibly spending on his rocket company and b) that the best way to promote space is to give money to NSS. They took my comment as a suggestion to ask him for more money (which would simply look self serving), when what I meant is that they should tell him that he should be spending more money, in a more effective way than handing it out to non-profits (e.g., hire PR firms).
