I may respond to this.

5G Networks
Raining on the parade. I already have too many devices that want to be on the Internet.
Suicide Of The West
Rocket Billionaires And Space Barons
Walter Isaacson reviews both Chris Davenport’s
I’ve read both, and while there’s a lot of commonality, they’re complementary.
The Bridenstine Era Begins
A report on yesterday’s swearing-in ceremony from Marcia Smith. And another from Eric Berger. He seems to be off to a good start. I think he’ll be one of the best administrators NASA has had. He’ll certainly be refreshing after Charlie “Muslim Outreach” Bolden (Note: That was never actually a thing, but his idiotic interview with Al Jazeera made it hard to defend otherwise good space policy from the Obama administration).
[Update a while later]
Thoughts from Newt Gingrich, including some mild SLS bashing.

The Web And Social Media
I’ve never abandoned this blog, but I have been posting to it a lot less, for a number of reasons (less time, other outlets). I didn’t move to Facebook, but I do spend a lot more time on Twitter.
John Hinderaker says it was a mistake for conservatives to move from the web to social media. Glenn has also noted recently that the old days of blogging were a lot more free wheeling, with less ability of the left to control it. Anyway, I’ll try to do more here.
The Hidden Legacy Of Columbine
…is ignorance about school violence, that has resulted in more of it.
