…is just another Democrat operative with a byline. I actually heard him interviewed on the CBS evening news last night, and realized that I’d never heard of him. Which is a sign, I guess, of how seldom I waste time watching CBS “news.”

Hillary’s Server
The emails may be deleted, but that doesn’t mean they’re gone.
I’ve been saying this for weeks. The continued refusal to turn over the server to an independent third party is continued obstruction of justice.
The Architecture Of Fear
Thoughts from Sarah Hoyt, on the potential for preference cascades (though she doesn’t use that phrase).
The classic example is the Emperor’s New Clothes, but another is how a third party could win if enough people believed it could.
The Passion Of The Christ
…seems much more plausible today.
I’m not a Christian, or even a theist, but people who think we’ve evolved much in two thousand years are fooling themselves, as we can see on a daily basis in the “modern” Middle East. Civilization can have a very thin veneer, particularly when people don’t understand the basis for it, and reject it.
Birth Control
Is it creating a race of eunuchs?
I’m not sure, but I think there have been a lot of unanticipated consequences of screwing with womens’ hormones for decades.
The Social Justice Warriors
They’re not really. They’re social justice bullies. Treat them accordingly. Bullies hate when people fight back.
The Space Show
I’ll be on tomorrow evening, from 7-8:30 PM PDT. I’ll bet talking general space tech and policy issues, sort of a preview of what I’ll be talking about at Space Access, though it’s an ever-shifting situation.
Hillary’s Scandals
With her announcement today, it seems like a good time to provide a quick review of the major ones, for those who don’t remember them, or live through them all. I’ll have a piece up in the next day or two specifically addressing historical revisionism on Whitewater.
Cracking Down At DoJ
When a memo like this has to be issued, things have gone pretty far south. Isn’t it pretty much illegal everywhere except Nevada and some foreign countries? Why not just issue a more general memo that Department employees should obey the law?
Tech Titans And Life Extension
Here’s a good overview of what Google, Thiel and others are doing. I wish they’d stop calling it “immortality,” though. That’s not the goal, and if it were, it would be unrealistic. It’s just indefinite lifespan. As I often notes, expansion into space and extended lifespan go hand in hand.
