In New Zealand. Entirely by women. Hey, more power to them.
Welcome To Intersectional Brotherhood Week
It’s not much of an improvement on National Brotherhood Week, but everyone still hates the Jooz. And so the saga continues. It won’t end well.
Keep Cars, But Don’t Make People Drive Them
An alternate, and more realistic version of the Green Leap Forward.
Two points: I fear the day that we won’t be allowed to drive, except in special circumstances (like amusement parks).
Point Two: I suspect that a lot of current auto traffic will move to the air, with the advent of Urban Air Mobility, particularly if the vehicles can be powered from the ground (e.g., Jeff Greason’s and Dan DeLong’s Electric Sky is working on such a concept). Airbus has an interesting concept of moving passengers via passenger modules that are moved from one vehicle type to another, like cargo containers, in which you’d share a pod with people from your door to an aircraft, to a long-range aircraft, to another aircraft, to the other door. That’s a lot more interesting and flexible concept than high-speed rail.
Titania McGrath
The man behind the hyperwoke Twitter account comes out. I’d always assumed it was the same person that ran Godfrey Elfwick, but apparently not.
SERV
It’s the fiftieth anniversary of the last time Chrysler proposed a spaceship to NASA. I’d forgotten about that.
Wrecking College Students
Three untruths that are harming them. Unfortunately, they’ve been fed a load of toxic nonsense even before they get to campus.
And I have the same reaction to someone who leads an “argument” with “I feel.”
The Aristocracy Of Victimhood
Jonah’s latest “news” letter.
Captain Marvel
Treacher has a round up of all the misogyny in the reviews. Because obviously, if you think the flick is a stinker, you hate women.
[Noon update]
What you’ve all been waiting for: The vital review from The Babylon Bee.
[Friday update]
OK, here’s Sonny Bunch’s. The movie sounds like a real stinker.
[Bumped]
Michael Jackson
Why it’s not OK to listen to his music, but still OK to watch Woody Allen movies.
It’s no skin off my nose. I never deliberately listened to any of his music.
MH370
Five years later, the clue that all the investigators overlooked.
Interesting.
[Update a while later]
I just RTHT:
“The essential trail is the Inmarsat data,” Wattrelos said. “Either they are wrong [in their analysis] or they have been hacked.”
If the latter is the case, the ramifications are scary. Whoever took MH370 was determined, aggressive, and far more sophisticated than investigators have been willing to contemplate. They have also succeeded in fooling officials, the public, and most of the press for half a decade. That’s an uncomfortable prospect, and one that many people would prefer to ignore. But if it’s true—or even possibly true—then it’s something that needs to be dealt with expeditiously. Because that could mean whoever took MH370 is still out there…and nothing whatsoever has been done to stop them.
It is disturbing.
