The Anniversary
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Here is what I wrote in 2010 about Challenger.
[Update a while later]
On the thirtieth anniversary, there were still lessons to be learned. In fact, many remain to be learned today, on the thirty-seventh.
Free The Meat
Yes, it’s ridiculous that we can’t get affordable venison at restaurants or the grocery.
Los Angeles
…has become a predator’s paradise.
The solution to this is to legalize prostitution, and re-outlaw streetwalking, and pimping. Like drug dealers, the pimps are empowered by the illegality.
The Assault Of Environmentalism
[Update a few minutes later]
Here come the bugs. We’ll own nothing, eat insects, and like it.
De-Aging
This guy lost me at the calorie-restricted vegan diet.
American Nomenklatura
What the Twitter files showed. An interesting history of content moderation.
Gerard Van Der Leun

Crazy Idea
Colorblindness isn’t racist.
The only people who believe that it is are lunatics.
