Does it cause mental illness?
Not sure which direction the causality is here.
Dune
There’s apparently a new remake coming out.
Unpopular opinion (which I’ve probably expressed here before): Dune is the most overrated book in SF. And the sequels were terrible.
On a sad note, I recently decided to finally pick up The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, which has been on the bookshelf for decades (paperback), and read it. I couldn’t get more than a few pages in. Heinlein really needed an editor in his later years.
The Ethanol Standard
Yes, get rid of it. Take it behind the barn and kill it with an ax. It was always stupid, but in a time of possible food shortages, and oil at historic lows, it’s an insane policy. We had stopped using food for transportation at the turn of the 20th century, but these morons decided to bring the notion back.
Irony Abounds
It looks like Putin turned the FBI into a Russian asset.
Federalism
A remedial explanation for Jonah Goldberg.
The Tyrannical States
Bob Zimmerman is not happy (to put it mildly).
Legally, it’s not really martial law, which is when the military literally takes over, but it’s certainly multiple violations of the Bill of Rights.

One way to improve the lockdown; stop being hypocritical tyrants.
[Update a few more minutes later]
South Dakota has a governor who is behaving responsibly, so the WaPo decided to smear her, because she’s (you know) a Republican.
[Update a few minutes later]
No, Raleigh police, protesting is in fact not a “non-essential activity.”
[Update a while later]
Note the comment at Bob Zimmerman’s post about the New Jersey dance instructor teaching on line alone in her studio, who was ordered to stop by the police, because she was “working.” Apparently, the state wants to make it illegal to earn a living, regardless of risk level.
Obama’s Endorsement Of Biden
…is comedy gold.
The Coronavirus Commies
…censored.
This is great.
Not Love In The Time Of Cholera
No, it’s porn in the time of the coronavirus.
Yes, this is my shocked face, too.
James Comey
…should apologize.
A lot of people should, but they won’t. What hacks both he and Mueller turned out to be. It’s frightening that people like this can rise to the head of such a powerful agency.
