Yes, Trump should issue an executive order on this, except unfortunately, it would taint the concept.

The Butterfly Effect
Quantum physicists say “don’t sweat it.”
That’s good news, I guess, if we ever get time travel.
The Woke
Why they won’t debate you. As noted there, there is nothing liberal about them.
Solar Flares
We may soon be able to predict them. That would be nice.
“Anti-Racism”
How to talk to your employers about it.
I would tell my employer that this was bullshit.

Yes, I know that white text on black background is hard on the eyes. I’m looking for contact information to tell them that.

OK, if you click on the little lightbulb icon at the upper right, it fixes it.

Just temporarily, I suspect. This nonsense will continue, and it has to be continually pushed back against.
Coffee
I had started choking it down every morning because I thought that there were health benefits. But the evidence isn’t really that compelling. Patricia kicked her habit in April, so I wasn’t making it every morning any more, and I rarely wanted to go to the trouble of making a couple cups just for me. So I guess I’m off it for now.
[Late-afternoon update]
Note: I am not criticizing anyone whose body chemistry enables them to enjoy drinking the stuff; to each his own. I’m simply amused by people who think that I’m a terrible person because I never have, and continue to not do so, no matter how much I drink, or how it is prepared. I will say, though, that at a hotel in Vienna, I had (included in the price of the room) lattes that were less than terrible, but still not worth drinking absent any potential health benefits.

The ape who loves.
A New Era For Space
I haven’t had time to read it yet, but the White House has released a new document from the National Space Council.
Unprecedented Government Malfeasance
We’ve now gone through five months of it.
And no, we’re not talking about Trump, though he could have done better, too.
Male Bisexuals
Yes, they do exist, and I am definitely not one.
I’m always amused at people who can’t conceive of anyone who is not heterosexual, because they’re projecting. And as I’ve often noted, most of the argument about this stuff probably consists of bisexuals who assume that everyone is like them, and that therefore it is a choice.
