Too much “bro” culture?
If true, this story reminds me of Lincoln's remark when told that Grant drank too much. "Find out his brand of whiskey, and send a case to all of my generals." But it did say they joked about it, not necessarily that they did it. https://t.co/nkequTPnM2

The BS about Biden is thoroughly deconstructed.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Now they take on the BS about Biden’s “accomplishments.”
He’s been a disaster.
[Bumped]
[Thursday-morning update]
John Podhoretz makes the case for schadenfreude. It’s pretty compelling. This couldn’t happen to a more awful political party, at least in this country.

This is hilarious. As Gutfeld said yesterday, it’s like the Biden family is holding the Democrats hostage, and the media is negotiating. “He wants an In’n’Out! He wants to talk to his daughter. He’ll only talk to Clooney.”
[Noon update]
Are we ready for the problems it could cause?
Oh, please.
Some game theory from Nate Silver.
I’m not sure why he doesn’t mention what to me is an obvious way to force Biden out. All they have to do is say that they’re going to “realize” that there actually is a lot of evidence of family corruption, and it would be very sad if they were to start to agree with the Republicans about it, but what are you going to do? Does Nate not discuss this because he really believes it doesn’t exist, or because he doesn’t want to give it credence himself?
Richard Fernandez describes the latest green disaster.
They are utterly ignorant of nutrition.
Blue Origin and ULA (and they may soon be the same company) are pretty clearly threatened by SpaceX.
On the other hand, there have never been launch operations at this scale, anywhere. SpaceX should be getting on to sea launch as soon as possible, particularly given the much greater flexibility of orbital destinations this will give them.

More from Stephen Clark.
[Tuesday-afternoon update]
More from Jeff Foust. I was amused at this: “Ariane 6 is an answer to their needs. We’ll go through the inaugural launch, we’ll serve those customers, and we will continue to innovate.”
“Continue” to innovate? I’m still waiting for them to start.

Misspelled name fixed, sorry, Sabine!
Looks a lot like we’ll be in a recession before November.
People are tapped out on their credit cards.
