RIP. He will be missed.
Little-known fact: He was a big fan of space. He was on the board of The Space Foundation. He never used email, but I sent some stuff to him once via his wife, and he wrote a nice letter thanking me.
[Update late afternoon]
John Podhoretz remembers him.
[Update Wednesday morning]
This kind of thing is why he was a national treasure.
[Monday update]
Matt Labash remembers him, as does Jonathan Last.

It’s always for me, and not for thee.
…has reached Biblical levels.
To be fair, it’s well-earned hatred.
I haven’t linked him in a while, but he has a nice remembrance of PJ, and some tart commentary on the mask Nazis.
Thoughts on the dangers of ideology.
A review of a book about the class warfare being waged by the media.
Bob Zimmerman lays it out:
Since day one of the epidemic practically every policy decision by government and the largely Democratic academic community has been based on lies. And those lies caused the initial response to COVID to be wrong and misguided. It was panicked, thoughtless, based on very flawed models rather than the actual data, and did far more harm than good. The later and continuing mandates requiring the COVID shots and masks to keep one’s job, to fly on airplanes, to cross borders, to even go to school or attend public events, are even more insane, based not on the now long-known facts but on lies and fear and the urge by those in power to wield that power corruptly.
It is long past time for everyone to stop buying into these lies.
Indeed.
As a long-suffering Lions fan, this was the first time I had a team I could cheer on in the game. Apparently a lot of other Lions fans felt the same way.
Detroit has wasted a lot of talent over the years. It was nice to see Matt Stafford finally achieve his well-deserved potential.
