I’ve posted this before, but another example of why they’re good for car-theft prevention.

Altamont
I was alive then, a few months after Apollo 11, but I’d never heard the full story of what had happened there; I only knew that there was another music festival, like Woodstock.
The UK
…has finally decided in favor of Brexit.
This is good news, both in the win of a party that finally wants to be responsive to the people, and in the loss of the party of socialism and anti-Semitism.
Not a lot of time or energy for any further analysis, given that I got up at 5 AM (2 AM PST) to catch my flight to be back home today, but it seemed like quite a great week for Trump overall. In fact, even the impeachment charade in the House may be part of his good week.
[Friday-morning update]
American leftists thought that Corbyn’s inevitable victory would be their model.
Good luck with that. 🙂
[Update a few minutes later]
Mark Steyn says “Boffo Boris.”
[Update a couple minutes later]
All the Brexit defectors lost their seats.
The good news just keeps rolling in.
[Update a couple more minutes later]
No, Boris is no right winger. Well, Trump isn’t really a conservative, either.
S. E. Cupp
This is sad.
Another TDS victim. I used to think she was smart.
The 1619 Project
No, it wasn’t slavery that made America exceptional, and it is not “part of America’s DNA.”
David Gibson
On the passing of the Oberlin plaintiff. Places like Oberlin and Evergreen are despicable.
Anthony Hopkins
…on why he doesn’t talk about politics: “Actors are pretty stupid.”
Mark Ruffalo would seem to be a poster child for that proposition.
Teaching Kids About Nutrition
The CDC says that schools aren’t doing enough of it.
That seems like good news to me, given how terrible the nutrition advice would be.
Misanthropy
At the Space Settlement Summit a few weeks ago, I pointed out that there are some people who will oppose space settlement not because of the cost, but because they think that humanity is an infestation that must not be allowed to spread beyond the planet of its birth. Here’s a good example (for anyone who was a fan of Momoa before).
The Deep State (AKA The Creep State)
It has the sadz, and that’s a good thing.
