Latest Spam Phone Calls
OK, they’re not really spam, because they ask, “Is Rand Simberg there?” But that’s all they do, despite a clear machine request to leave a message. They’ve come from three or four different numbers. One of them asks repeatedly, “Is Rand Simberg there?” for over a minute (it’s my business line, so it just says “This is Interglobal Media [my corporation], please leave a message.”). I can’t help but believe, despite (or because of) the fact that they are looking for me, that these are people with whom I have no interest in talking. If they were legitimate, they’d leave a damn message what it’s about and leave a call-back number.
BTW, yes, posting has been light, because I’ve been very busy. Fortunately, in a potentially highly lucrative way.
The Wind In The Heights
Gerard VanderLeun remembers that day.
The Week In Pictures
The long strange trip edition.
I don’t have much to say on this 20th anniversary, other than it appears that the terrorists, both overseas and domestic, won. And I am not referring to what happened on January 6th.
[Afternoon update]
A much longer (and depressing) version of what I wrote above.
[Sunday-morning update]
Masks Are Here To stay
…as long as the left needs them to shame their political enemies.
The Attack On Larry Elder
Why isn’t it the biggest story in America?
We know why.
A Gun Grabber Goes Down In Flames
And gee, isn’t it interesting that people who favor gun control are racists? Not that there’s anything new about that, of course.
“Our” Covid Policies
Few of them make any sense.
And it’s not getting any better.
Anti-Vaccine People
…aren’t the only ones that need persuading.
This risk aversion is worse than “unhealthy.” It is tyrannical. Just look at Australia.
Activist Academia
How it destroyed scholarly peer review.
Peer review is highly overrated.
