I’ve seen many people do many stupid things around trucks.

Coffee
…is turning out to be an unlikely elixir.
It’s the only reason I choke down the swill every morning.
And please, no recommendations about how I’m just not making it properly. I’ve had lots of coffee from people who assure me that it is how coffee should taste. It always tastes like coffee to me (i.e., terrible).
Bill De Blasio
Richard Gere: “He doesn’t appear to have the solutions that everyone thought.”
Not everyone, Richard. Only fools like you.
Trump Versus Fiorina
Who is the better businessperson?
I don’t really care, but it’s pretty clear to me that Fiorina would be a much better president. She’s at least willing to do her homework. And she’s not a boor with the mentality of a grade-school kid.
[Update a few minutes later]
It won’t change my vote, but this is the first coherent (and apparently long standing) position that Trump has taken with which I agree: A nationwide-ban on gun-ownership restrictions.
Yes, its a fundamental human and civil right.
[Tuesday-morning update]
I’m not generally a big Vox fan, but Timothy Lee has some interesting facts about Fiorina and her career.

[Late Wednesday-morning update]
Defining Fiorina. Interesting discussion in comments.

How To Become Less Racist
I honestly couldn’t tell whether or not this was satire until I looked at some of their other articles. I could easily imagine such a theory coming out of our vaunted “studies” departments.
The Lamentations Of The SJWs
What miserable lives these people must lead.
Hiatus Revisionism
Judith Curry: “I have been expecting to start seeing papers on the ‘hiatus is over.’ Instead I am seeing papers on ‘the hiatus never happened.’ Here is a collection of new papers on the hiatus, ranging from sense to nonsense.”

If you want to offer condolences, those links are probably a good place to do it.
[Monday-morning update]
Mary Katherine’s co-author Guy Benson has started a Go Fund Me page to take care of the family.
The “Cuckservative” Slur
This is just appalling. There is nothing conservative about racism. There is also nothing liberal (in the true meaning of that word) about it. But it fuels the Left.
Homophobic Men
…have intense homosexual impulses.
This surprises me not at all. I suspect many of them are bi-sexual.
