Two California doctors say that it doesn’t reduce the number of deaths.
Of course, since they’re not from coastal California, they’re not really California doctors.
CATS
A DVD autopsy of one of the worst flicks ever made.
Space Resources
Glenn told me a few days ago that he was working on a piece for the Journal. It’s up now (but paywalled). He has an excerpt.
[Friday update]
Chris Johnson, of the Secure World Foundation, has a long disquisition explaining the background and purpose of the Executive Order.
[Bumped]
[Update Sunday morning]
Another take from Professor Michelle Hanlon. And a longer-than-necessary one from Dimitra Stefoudi.

Good Riddance
Looks like they opened the box, and the fat little dictator is dead.
Unfortunately, no reason to think that whoever replaces him will be better.
Computer Fun
Patricia’s machine has been acting up for months, dying unexpectedly. I tried replacing CPU, memory, and power supply. Also cleaned the CPU heat sink. But to no avail, and now it shuts down almost immediately after boot. So it’s probably the motherboard.
And of course you can’t buy new FM-2 mobos any more, so it means new processor and memory as well, plus a graphics card, because the Ryzen doesn’t support on-board integrated graphics. So we just had to lay out about $600 for an upgrade, but it will be a much better machine, with a Ryzen 5 3600X (same as mine) and 32G of RAM in a single stick (upgradable to 128G). It will also be able to support multiple monitors. Unfortunately, it won’t be here before Tuesday.
[Sunday-morning update]
Wow, time flies. I just realized from an old blog post that her mobo was five years old.
States
…should not receive bankruptcy protection.
Cocaine Mitch should offer states a bailout of their pensions, only on condition that they no longer be states, and become territories, pending better behavior in the future. And the sensible parts of them, like downstate Illinois, should be able to petition for readmission immediately.
Brave Reuters Journo
…is super pissed that the Free Beacon did the MSM’s job for them.
Flynn Was Framed
…and his attorneys are seeking immediate dismissal for a blatant Brady violation:
They should be the ones going to jail.
Nutrition Labels
Why there’s a frozen-fry shortage.
Nutrition labels, to the degree that they provide calorie information, are worse than useless, because calorie counting is stupid. FDA should not only suspend them, but eliminate them.
Death By Meteorite
The first credible evidence of it. These aren’t the ones we really need to worry about, though, and there’s not much we could do about them if we did. We need to focus on the city killers (or worse).
