55% of people think he’s in the early stages of it. I disagree. There’s nothing “early” about it. Of course, it’s not like he was ever that bright to begin with.
John Roberts
Seven times he has been a leftist hack. As is often the case with a justice nominated by a Republican, he has been a disappointment. We need to be looking places other than Harvard and Yale law.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton rightly excoriated him.
Soft Totalitarianism
The Sovietization of American culture.
[Update a few minutes later]
A conservative pretends that there is allowable debate in America.
[Update late morning]
Black Lives Matter must be beyond criticism. Professor Jacobson is clearly guilty of wrongthink.
[Update Friday morning]
We refuse mob rule.
Kurt Schlichter certainly refuses to bow before them.
New SF
I haven’t read it, but Mike Combs has a new short story out.
Persecution Is Cool
Bob Zimmerman, on the cancel culture within the space and science community.
Keith has blocked me on Twitter, and I suspect I’m on a lot of blocklists. I follow a lot of space people, like Carolyn, but only engage them on space and science topics. I don’t argue non-space politics with space people, because many of them are leftist loons, which is why I maintain separate accounts for space stuff and the book.
[Update Wednesday morning]
Technology
Which one has accidentally killed the most people?
I agree with the historian who says that the question is ill framed.
Farming
This sort of reminds me of Bloomberg’s expert advice on how to grow stuff.
He Can Always Serve As A Bad Example
Not the Bee or the Onion: James Comey will teach a course on ethical leadership at William and Mary.
Drone Hitchhikers
This is an interesting idea. Having the ability to charge while on the buses would enhance the idea.
It reminds me of some of the concepts for planetary exploration with a “mothership” and flocks of cubesat “birds” (e.g., to send a bunch, or consecutive waves, through the plumes of Enceladus to capture data in both time and position).
White Man’s Burden
An open letter to his (or her) colleagues from an anonymous black professor at Berkeley.
