We’ve never watched it, but I’ll take her word for it that it’s porn.

Mayor Pete
He’s been accused of sexual assault.
I’m no fan, but (unlike the Left) I’ll wait to see how credible the accusation is before I render judgment. For instance, did he tell anyone else at the time?
[Tuesday-morning update]
OK, looks like it was a hoax, and I was right to be skeptical. This is probably actionable, even though he’s a public figure, because it was clearly done with malice.

Issues And Insights
A new group blog from former editorial writes at Investor’s Business Daily.
The New Moon Race
A nice essay at the New Yorker (though it quotes an “historian” as saying that Nixon “killed Apollo.” Johnson did, and Kennedy probably would have, if he hadn’t been assassinated first).
Middlebury College
A year there costs over $70,000.
The Synagogue Shooters
What do they have in common? Not just being anti-Semitic, but they hate Trump. Which is pretty damaging to the narrative.
Political Cartoons
Just a few, at Powerline.
Brie Larson
A rant on her unbearable ingratitude. I haven’t seen the movie, don’t have any immediate plans to.
National Unity
I agree. As he notes, unity can be a useful tool to achieve good political ends, but it’s a double-edged sword. And disunity is a helpful way to limit government.
Upgrading Phones
A record number of people are waiting to do it.
Apple, Samsung et al are coming up with new models faster than the demand for them. I’m happy with the Moto G6 I bought for a couple hundred bucks a year or two ago. I don’t see any features in the newer ones that I can’t live without. Of course, I see my cell phone as an evil necessity, not something integrated into my existence. I often forget to take it with me when I go out of the house, and only use it in the house when I need to text.
