Austin’s Mayor
…travels to the west coast to learn how to fail bigger.
These Democrat officials are demented.
Bastille Day
Yes, it is nothing to celebrate. Might as well celebrate the October Revolution, or the ascent of Hitler.
The Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxons (and other indigenous British peoples) deserve reparations.
Heh.
Nutrition

Not news to readers of this site.
Anthropogenic Climate Change
Two new studies indicate that, for practical purposes, it doesn’t exist.
Group Loyalty
Thoughts on identity politics versus reductionist politics.
As someone who is often called a racist because I disagree about a policy issue, I am enjoying the hell out of Nancy having the race card pulled on her.
Portlandization
It could happen to a town near you.
I could understand why Nancy left Los Angeles, but not why she moved to Portland.
Lunar Resources
Is there a conflict between science and sustainability?
Meanwhile, there is a symposium on space settlement in DC today. You can follow the livestream.
[Late-afternoon update]

The Epstein Case
It’s unlike anything Ken White has seen before (which is saying something).
I don’t know whether to be amused or appalled at the degree to which the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are trying to simultaneously hide all of the Democrat/Clinton connections (including Wikipedia), while trying to pin it on Trump.
[Update a while later]
Was Epstein running honey traps to blackmail the power elite? It seems like the most-likely explanation.
