The Food Tribes In LA
How they ruined my barbecue (he means grilling).
Peer Review
A spot-on rant.
It is highly highly overrated.
“Grooming”
Ladies, there may be good reasons to do a Brazilian clear-cutting (won’t anyone think of habitat-destruction of the lice?) but “hygiene” isn’t one of them.
[Friday-morning update]
Thoughts from a (female) gynocologist.
SLS/Orion
Donald Robertson has an op-ed at Space News that reflects many of the themes of my monograph (which, by the way, I have updated with feedback from the past couple days).
Willful Blindness And Radical Islam
Yes, ideology, not climate change or “Islamaphobia” or racism or poverty or the NRA causes terrorism.
The Left
…is angry at democracy.
Again.
This is all to distract from the fact that the EU is a failure.
[Update a few minutes later]
If the EU ends, Merkel will have herself to blame.

“Vote properly, you virulent racist!”
Call me crazy, but I’ve never found being called a racist or a xenophobe or a homophobe or an Islamaphobe or an anythingphobe a very compelling argument.
Spot Mini
Boston Dynamics’ robotic dogs are getting better. Nice to see that no one kicked them this time.
The Free State Of Jones
Patricia and I went to see the movie yesterday. I agree with the critics that it was too long, and tried to pack too much history in a single movie (though it could have been tightened up just with some editing). Here’s a typical review.
For those unfamiliar with Reconstruction, it was nice to see that they didn’t try to whitewash the Democrats. But this is a point that I haven’t seen anyone else make:
The Free State Of Jones was a powerful reminder that Democrats have always wanted gun control in order to disarm black people.

I’d also note that, sad as it was that they received no help, Sherman was right; southeast Mississippi was not strategic at that point, after the fall of Vicksburg, and he couldn’t spare the resources for it.
Chaka Fattah
His Democrat friends shrugged at his crimes.
Of course they did, just as they shrug at Hillary’s crimes, or the IRS corruption, or all the other corruption of this (and the Clinton) administration. Laws are for the little people, and Republicans.
