…you can’t get your childhood back.
As someone in my early twenties when it came back, I was a lot less impressed than the kids at the time. After the duds that were Eps 1-3, I’ll probably wait for it to be free on television.

Cats
The endless debate: Are they domesticated? I think ours is, pretty much, but then, I think females are more than males. They don’t tend to wander as much, in my experience. Rerun doesn’t go more than a house or so away, AFAIK.
The Lions
Looks like they’re roaring against the Vikings, but they still have three quarters to go.
[Update at beginning of second half]
Still ahead 17-15, but they’re going to have to keep scoring.
Mars Is Safe From NASA
More thoughts on my USA Today piece, over at Ricochet.
Self-Driving Cars
Why they must be programmed to kill.
Mojave
Popular Science takes a deep dive into the town, its past, and perhaps its future. It’s a tough place, for now, to retain employees.
Dog Years
Lengthening them with a new anti-aging drug. Humans come next.
NASA Can’t Go To Mars
It’s essentially illegal. My latest column, about NASA in the movies and in real life, at USA Today.
Why People Hate Hollywood “Liberals”
Movies like “Truth.”
When you’ve lost Vox…
Also, reminder. Mary Mapes, still stupid after all these years.
If Romney Were President
Or if Bush still was:
Democrats in Congress would be calling for hearings and investigations for each transgression: the bombing, troop levels, and drone policy. Chuck Schumer would hold daily press briefings scolding the wreckless president from behind the glasses perched precariously down his nose. Someone would accurately quote Sheila Jackson-Lee condeming the terrible bombing of the “orphanage in Pakistan”.
But Mitt Romney isn’t president, Barack Obama is, so no one cares.
They told me that if I voted for Romney, the president would be bombing innocent people in hospitals. And they were right!
It’s not about principles, it’s about tribalism.
