A private one. All is proceeding as I have foreseen.
I hope they have a good camera to see if it’s beautiful clouds, or just gray.
Preserving The Narrative

Herd Immunity From T-Cells
A pre-print on it. It looks encouraging.
The Biggest Leftist Casualty Of The Virus
The left’s Gramscian march took decades. Trump and the virus swept through the institutions in a few months. Good riddance.
Sturgis
Antifa pays a visit. It goes about as well as one would expect.
Race Politics
How it burns out.
If I were in charge, I would remove the word “race” from the entire federal code.
Oops
One third of black voters say that the Harris pick makes them less likely to vote for Biden.
I suspect that more and more blacks, particularly younger ones, are coming to realize that the Democrats have played them as suckers for decades.

Heat Wave
Looks like the next week and a half will be one of those times we wish we had A/C in coastal California. It was warm last night (temperature has been below seventy every morning when we get up, but it was 73 this morning). Can’t really justify the expense and electricity of central air, but maybe we’ll finally be motivated to get a window or portable unit for the bedroom.
[Noon update]
People are talking about split units in comments. No way we’d spend that kind of money, particularly when we have no use for a heat pump. We just need something to keep the bedroom cool to sleep at night.
[Saturday-morning update]
Well, so far, so good. It never got below 74 in the house, but we slept well. If it gets no worse than that, we’ll be OK. The worst thing about Santa Anas is that when the wind comes from the east, we can hear the sound of the 405 freeway, which is about a mile away. Otherwise, the neighborhood is quiet, because despite being half a block from a major thoroughfare to the west, the sound is blocked by a dune that our place is at the bottom of.
The Slimiest Person In National Politics
It’s stiff competition, but yeah, I’d say that Biden is right up there with the worst of them, and always has been. I hope that in three months, he will be a has been.
