Thoughts on the Marxist hijacking of the language by the Left.
Our Failed Covid Response
A long but excellent history and analysis of perhaps the greatest public-policy blunder in history.
Is Ukraine Our Spanish Civil War?
There are some disturbing historical parallels.
This Isn’t Crazy At All
Two lunaticsdaredevils are going to swap aircraft in mid-air.
[Monday-morning update]
So, apparently the stunt was a half success. I couldn’t tell from the original story whether or not they’d have parachutes (though if not, that seemed totally nuts), but apparently they did, which is why the pilot survived the failed attempt.
And really, FAA? Who are you to decide what is in the public interest, and whether or not someone should be allowed to do something even if you think it isn’t? I thought this was America.

The Democrats’ Problems
They can’t fix them by November.
Yes, you can’t climb out of a hole that you’ve been digging for years in six months (even if you have the sense to even stop digging, which they don’t seem to have). This is bad news for an ever-terrible political party, but good news for the Republic.
Putin’s Options

Joe Biden does something right (which is huge news, because it is unprecedented).
He could be doing more, though, in terms of easing up on archaic NRC rules to allow the construction of more modern plant designs faster. And as is often noted, it’s hard to take seriously people who claim that we are in a climate “crisis” or “emergency” if they don’t support nuclear power.

How it dehumanizes women.
Brendan O’Neill made the sacrifice of reading a vile heap of insanity from a Berkeley professor, so you didn’t have to.
Dietary BS
No, seed oils are not “healthy oils,” and you don’t get high cholesterol from eating saturated fats.
