…is in serious decline.
DEI degrades and corrupts every institution it touches.
I wonder if it’s as bad with the Space Force?

DEI at the FAA is lunacy. It will kill people.

More like the C-Team, actually. What happens when mediocrities are promoted.

Is Gen Z turning against Western civilization? And thoughts on Weimar America:
…the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Yes.

Human Rights
Do they extend beyond the planet?
The fact that the UN declaration is a “universal” one strongly suggests that they do. I disagree that “health” is a human right, though.

Genital Preferences
My response to trans activists who tell me I can’t have them?
F**k you. Or, rather, if you have the wrong genitals, there is no effing way I’m going to f**k you.
Living And Dying In 3/4 Time
Thoughts on aging, from Glenn Reynolds.
I’m a few years older, but I view things similarly. I, too, have noticed more of my cohorts shuffling off this mortal coil (e.g., Chuck Lauer two or three years ago, and Mark Hopkins a year or so ago, though he had clearly been in poor health for a while).
I hope I have more than another twenty healthy years, but I obviously can’t count on it. And I don’t really know what “retirement” means, other than being able to do what I want to do, as opposed to what I wouldn’t voluntarily do if someone else wasn’t paying me to do it. I don’t golf, or have any hobbies, really, and I want to stay involved in space in what (despite my having lived through Apollo) is rapidly becoming the most exciting period of my life for that industry. I am still trying to make interesting things happen, and generate enough income from it for us to travel and enjoy life more while we have our health.

Why People Think The Economy Sucks
I rarely eat fast food except when traveling. And I never have it delivered. I think that a lot of people who are paying other people to cook for them and deliver the food can’t really afford it.
