Karl Gallagher has started a new SF series that sadly resonates with what’s happening on this planet today.
Losing Our Liberty
We need to abolish the FBI. It’s probably impossible to reform it.
The Auto Chip Shortage
This hits literally close to home. I haven’t talked to my brother, but I’ll bet that one of the plants being shut down is the Flint plant (the last remaining GM plant in the town where GM was born). He had been getting a lot of overtime, but I suspect that he’s not working now.
Space Traffic Management And Orbital Debris
I haven’t read it yet, but the Reason Foundation just put out a policy paper by Rebecca van Burken.
The Real Risk
Thoughts on vaccine-mandates and collectivism, from Sarah Hoyt.
[Update a while later]
“Read my lips. We’re not going back to masks and lockdowns again.”
After a few weeks of freedom, I saw yesterday that CVS put up the mandatory mask sign again when I went to get some ice, for no reason other than the idiotic dictate from the LA County health department, which the sheriff has said he’s not going to enforce, because there’s no scientific basis for it.
A Partial Victory In My Lawsuit
The case was dismissed against CEI, but I remain on the hook. This is a huge blow to Mann, though, because the primary targets were always CEI and National Review, whose case was similarly dismissed months ago. The nine-year anniversary of the blog post was last week…
[Update a few minutes later]
Here is CEI’s press release.
[Update late afternoon]
For those interested in the history, here are the filings through 2019.
Failure To Launch
A disquisition on Blue Origin’s future. It has been disappointing, and it looks like it may continue to be. And I’m sure that Tory Bruno is frustrated as hell.
Vice-President Trump
Michael Walsh has a modest proposal.
Saint Fauci
Questioning The Election
Ten reasons to do so. I certainly do so.
