Gary Larson is baaaaaack.
Wow, it’s been decades since his last one.

The Cultural Revolution Continues
Thoughts from Jonathan Turley on canceling Steven Pinker.
[Update a while later]
The Woke mob’s “reign of terror” moment.
[Afternoon update]
Bob Zimmerman is genuinely concerned that genocide is coming to America.
There are still a few people alive who remember what happened in Germany in the thirties, and no one in the twenties could have imagined it could happen. The irony, of course, is that the people most likely to do this think that Trump is Hitler.
Cholesterol
It’s nice to see more published recognition of this, but it’s only news to people who haven’t been paying attention.
Hydroxycholoriquine
How many people did the media’s anti-Trump hysteria kill?
Kanye
Will he change how the Democrats treat blacks?
I think he’ll take more black votes away from Biden than from Trump.
Race, Gun Control
…and the Second Amendment. No, the Second Amendment wasn’t about helping round up escaped slaves. What monumental historical ignorance to think it was.
A Message To Newsom And Garcetti
Despite the threat of a $50K fine, the fireworks across LA basin were continuous last night as we ate ribs on the upstairs patio. It was a better display than the cities ever put on. I have no idea where the fireworks came from, because I’m sure they’re all illegal for personal possession in California. Maybe they were contraband from Nevada or Arizona. There wasn’t a lot of breeze overnight, and it was still smoky when we got up. I love the phrase “News Karens.”
I hope this massive public disobedience is a harbinger for the election.
[Update a few minutes later]
It wasn’t just LA.
Restaurants
Who is ready to go back to them?
The notion of wearing a mask in a restaurant is absurd. You can’t eat with a mask on. This is another area in which the pandemic hasn’t affected me much, because I’ve never liked going out to eat at restaurants, other than for social reasons. It’s both expensive and unhealthy to pay someone else to cook for you, and I don’t like having people serve me.
ABC’s “Powerhouse” Round Table
Is there a more pretentious name in news than what ABC calls the assorted idiots it has on This Week to opine? There was no one even remotely conservative on it this morning, though they probably still imagine that Matthew Dowd is, just because the hack worked for G. W. Bush. Like much of the rest of the media, they were characterizing Trump’s fantastic Rushmore speech as “dark” and “divisive.”
What utter horsepoop. Neo takes them to task on that nonsense.
Meanwhile, Roger Kimball writes that historians will record the speech as the moment that Trump won re-election. I agree.
Your Dog
How old is he in human years? It turns out that it’s not multiply by seven. It never made a lot of sense to me that it would be a linear relationship. I’d like to see them do cats now.
