…travels to the west coast to learn how to fail bigger.
These Democrat officials are demented.
Bastille Day
Yes, it is nothing to celebrate. Might as well celebrate the October Revolution, or the ascent of Hitler.
The Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxons (and other indigenous British peoples) deserve reparations.
Heh.
Bicyclists
How do we get them to obey traffic laws?
I almost hit a guy in my neighborhood this week driving Patricia to the bus stop. I was in a four-way stop intersection, about to pull out, when I catch him coming from the left out of the corner of my eye. He didn’t even slow down for the stop sign, let alone stop. It would have been Darwinian if I’d hit him, but I’d still feel terrible.

The Last Beetle
I disagree that the one that rolled off the line was the last one. I was a VW mechanic as my first job out of high school. As far as I’m concerned, VW hasn’t built a Beetle since 1978. If it doesn’t have a flat-four air-cooled engine with a number 3 cylinder that eats valves and rings due to having its airflow cut off by the oil cooler, it’s not a Beetle, regardless of a vague resemblance of body type.
Anthropogenic Climate Change
Two new studies indicate that, for practical purposes, it doesn’t exist.
Group Loyalty
Thoughts on identity politics versus reductionist politics.
As someone who is often called a racist because I disagree about a policy issue, I am enjoying the hell out of Nancy having the race card pulled on her.
Portlandization
It could happen to a town near you.
I could understand why Nancy left Los Angeles, but not why she moved to Portland.
Starship/Super-Heavy
Work is beginning on a launch pad in Florida.
This is looking serious.
