Huh. We use ours almost daily, but our kitchen is too small to eat in it.
Unmasking Antifa
Three reasons it’s a bad idea.
I’m not sure he’s entirely serious.

What turns people into wicked punks while they no doubt continue to believe themselves to be decent and good? Bad ideas, that’s what, ideas that give people license to answer words and policies with terror. What’s the bad idea on the left? Control. The notion that the left’s cause is so righteous it needs to pay no mind to liberty but simply deserves to win by any means necessary. Let five judges on the Supreme Court make law and damn the “outdated” Constitution. Give unelected bureaucracies like the EPA the power to regulate people’s lives without appeal or oversight. Give ignoble gnomes like Peter Strzok the wherewithal to criminalize the political opposition. And of course, bring on the socialism: a philosophy that declares a person’s work, his time, his life, his property belong not to him but to the state. Control.
Yup.

Sarah Hoyt: The Left misunderstands the Constitution. Again.
[Late-afternoon update]
The power-hungry Left loses its cool. Though “power-hungry Left” is redundant.

Glenn has a good point on how Leftists become thugs. Maybe the causation goes the other way.
Hyaluronic Acid
Listening to a medical show in south Florida, hearing someone discuss this. I’d never heard of it, but it sounds like quite a useful supplement.

The Democrats’ (Un)Civil War
It’s the left against the far left. Of course, I always find this sort of thing amusing/infuriating:
A group of moderate Democratic lawmakers sounded the alarm Thursday over the party’s shift to the left, saying the embrace of ultra-liberal policies could endanger their efforts to capture Congress in the November midterm elections and the White House in 2020.
There is nothing “liberal” about them at all, let alone “ultra-liberal.”

This seems related somehow: Hillary says that Brett Kavanaugh will bring back slavery. Gee, that’s not hyperbolic and demagogic at all.
So Hillary thinks that Kavanaugh wants to bring back slavery? Is she saying he's a closet Democrat?

The Andes
An interesting read: How to build a mountain range. I’ve always wanted to see them.

Commercial Crew
Brendan Byrne has a story on the latest nonsense. What does “solidify [NASA’s] risk tolerance process mean”? I guess I have to read the GAO report (as though I don’t have enough to do).
Joss Wheedon
He’s starting a new SF series on HBO. Could be good.
S3x
It really does do a body good.
Well, it certainly feels like that.
The Frauds Of The Obama Administration
There is too much here for me to write about this right now, but it’s an important read, on many subjects.
Nuclear Renaissance
New reactors are coming, for earth and space. It’s about time.
