…allowing data to be preserved for billions of years. Pretty science fictioney.
This would be a boon for cryonicists, who have been looking for years for a persistent way of maintaining their personal records.

Hillary!, And Young Women
Why they aren’t supporting her; it’s the lies and hypocrisy, stupid, and even Maureen Dowd has figured it out.
I’ve long said that the Clintons wouldn’t have survived the 90s with today’s Internet and social media. The MSM can’t any longer just bury this stuff. I think we’re seeing that play out.
3-D Printing Human Tissue
This looks very promising. I can imagine at some point they’ll be able to actually print entire limbs, if they can’t come up with improved mechanical designs, that will be as good as the original. But organ replacement is the most exciting possibility, I think.
Being A Clinton
“Damn it feels good.”
Social Justice Warfare
…in spaaaaaaaace.
I wrote about this a few months ago.
Open Carry In Texas
As usual, those predicting chaos and blood running in the streets are proven wrong. But they never learn.

The Right To Repair
Yes, I have this crazy idea that when you “buy” something, you own it, not rent it.
Obama’s Climate Legacy
Looks like SCOTUS just wrecked it, 5-4. Couldn’t happen to a nicer dictator.
The stay implies that they think the administration is likely to lose on the merits when the case is argued. But this points out the stakes of the election, given that the next president is likely to appoint more than one justice.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Jonathan Adler explains the ruling. (Note: He is more concerned about climate change than I am.)
Cryonics
This seems huge. Researchers have preserved a rabbit brain down to the neuron.
