Will it be Grandpa Simpson?
It seems to me that the Democrats are screwed this cycle, which is ironic, considering who they’re trying to defeat.
AOC
Was Chakrabarti the power behind the throne (and the Twitter account)?
I have to say that if he was the brains of the outfit, the outfit is only slightly more brainless now.
Crime In Spaaaaaaace
This is a dumb story. The first crime in space should have to involve doing something that could only be done in space. She could have done this from anywhere; she just happened to have been in space when she did it.
I will say that I did not know (or care) that Anne McClain was a lesbian.
David Koch
RIP.
And as usual we have to provide a corrective the media morons and other freedom-hating leftists:
A non-leftist has died, so of course the left are acting like the soulless ghouls they are.

Thoughts and links about the Evil David Koch.

All The people Who Think They Are Better Than You
…are much, much worse.
Yes, I’ve noticed that. I’m no saint, but I’m a lot better than most of those people.
Autonomous Vehicles And Drones
I’ve been worried about this for a long time, because there’s no obvious (at least to me) answer: How do we prevent them from becoming weapons? And not just weapons of war, but of domestic assassinations?
Mann Loses To Ball
Anthony Watts is reporting that he’s going to have to pay Tim Ball his legal fees. Let’s hope this is a good omen for my own case.
[Update a few minutes later]
It may be only court filing fees, not legal expenses, but we don’t have the whole story yet.
Nuclear Power
What Hollywood scripts would look like if the scriptwriters understood it.
Now do space.
Lunar Prizes
Casey Dreier thinks they’re a bad idea.
My comments:
[Late-morning update]
Bridenstine: NASA is considering all options, including prizes.
Slavery
Not, it did not make America rich. The north, largely without slaves, was much more wealthy than the slave-holding south, which is why it won the war.
And yes, “the Founders were flawed, the nation is imperfect, and the Constitution remains a liberty document.”
