I wrote about the Left’s long-time misogyny over five years ago, but in light of the latest revelations about Hollywood scumbags, it’s just as relevant today.

Glenn Reynolds has some related links.

Raptor
The USAF is partially (Or totally? Who knows?) funding SpaceX to develop it.
I have no problem with this; it’s a much better use of taxpayer funds than AR1.
Still Busy
We have relatives visiting this coming week, and are doing things to clean up and organize the house that we’ve been putting off for months/years. Meanwhile, go see how pathetically Tom Stafford is stuck in the 60s. #Apolloism
Off The Air
I was at the Space Settlement Summit all day yesterday, and will be all day today as well, with a non-functioning laptop. I will be tweeting occasionally from my phone, however, and I’ll probably have some overall thoughts on the event tomorrow.
Forget Mars
A planetary scientist who would prefer to live on Titan.
As usual, destinations are a secondary issue. What’s important is the ability to affordably get wherever we want in the solar system. Elon is at least paying lip service to that now.
Moving AST Out Of FAA
Laura Montgomery discusses the legal and bureaucratic implications.
Lisa Bloom
Wow. Like her mother, she really is a hypocritical piece of work:
‘You know what is truth, Lisa? I feel like people should know that you’ve been calling my literary agent and saying there’d be money for me if I got on the “Harvey’s Changed” bandwagon?’ the actor wrote.
‘You told her that I should care about HIS reputation. How HE has a family now and how HE has changed. Well, guess what? I’ve always had a family and that didn’t stop him from assaulting me.’
Lord Acton identified problem w/Hollywood (and a lot of other places) a long time ago. And not only does it corrupt, but evil seeks power.

Hollywood’s masculinity deficit.
Trump And John Roberts
Trump has done what Roberts would not: Start to bring ObamaCare into Constitional compliance.
I continue to believe that there was something very disturbing about Roberts’ last-minute change of position, possible including blackmail. Recent revelations about other instances of the Obama administration spying on its political adversaries do nothing to reduce that belief.
[Update a while later]
ObamaCare was built with intrinsic flaws that Trump is now exploiting. It’s what happens from the hubris of thinking that such landmark social policy doesn’t need bipartisan support.
[Late-night update]
Sorry, everyone, but Trump didn’t instigate the ObamaCare acapolypse.
Nope. It was baked into the cake.
The Twilight Of The Liberal Gods
This is a couple weeks old, but I don’t think I linked it at the time, and it’s well worth a read, from Sarah Hoyt.
Gun Control
No, “feel good” remedies won’t solve the problem. As noted over there, an attempt to confiscate Americans’ guns would be tantamount to the government making war on its own people. It would not end well.
[Update a few minutes later]
No, there were not 273 “mass shootings” by any sane definition. There were nine.
