…is looking very authoritarian.
And there is no constitutional exception for pandemics.
Donald The Orange
…returns triumphantly as Donald the White.
“Clean, Limitless Power”
This is interesting. Probably only useful for small devices, but still useful.
The Full Crowley
You never want to go the full Crowley.
Chris Wallace has been exceedingly unimpressive as of late (i.e., the Trump era).
Infiltrating Antifa
An interesting interview with a conservative trans woman who has been doing so.
The Well-Credentialed
Boeing’s Tar Baby
I wonder at what point the company will just pull the plug on Starliner? They’ve been spectacularly unimpressive, Andy Pasztor’s worship aside.
I mean, if Starship goes to orbit before they have their crewed test flight, even NASA has to say, OK, maybe we don’t need a backup from them for Dragon.
The Lockdowns
…may have had little effect on the spread of the virus.
This was shooting ourselves in the foot, on full auto.
Intermittent Fasting
I’ve been doing this for quite a while. I don’t just skip breakfast; I don’t eat anything until late afternoon. But I don’t see the relevance of this study to me, even if valid, because I don’t do it to lose weight.
If I’m losing muscle (I’m not; I never had that much to begin with), it’s because I don’t work out as I should. If I did, I’d have to increase my food uptake (and I’d gain weight, but it would be in muscle). What the eating schedule for that would have to be, I don’t know. I suspect it would just mean that I’d eat more in the evening.

Perrow writes about how the failure of a complex, highly-coupled system can be catastrophic. I used his book, Normal Accidents, as a source for my book.
