Beautiful imagery from Trevor, who I met at the launch.
Health Advocates
Are they finally wising up to risk?
If so, it probably won’t last long, based on history.
Early Spaceports
Laura Montgomery has a new short story out.
Earth Surface Temperatures
Anthony Watts has been vindicated after all these years.
New California
Thoughts from Glenn Reynolds on California’s seceding from the coastal fascists. I don’t understand why the silly-looking gerrymander to keep Sacramento with the coastal “elites.” Set up a new state capital in San Jose or LA, and let the real California keep the delta.

This seems sort of related: How the big tech companies went from “Don’t be evil” to doing evil.

Steven Kruiser: “Dear California, call me when the commies leave.” I love this state, have for half a century, but I hate its voters.
#NeverTrump
Sarah Rumpf had a little tweetstorm the other day, and I largely agree with her. I continue to be happy she lost, and happy with many of the policy outcomes, but that doesn’t mean that I have to abandon my principles just because the clown in the White House apparently has none.

Hillary Clinton, the woman in the high castle.
Facebook And Snopes
Screw both of them, as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t taken Snopes seriously since the 90s, when they “debunked” all of the mysterious (and convenient) deaths surrounding the Clinton crime syndicate.
Media Leaks From The FBI
If this is true, he shouldn’t be “criticized,” McCabe should be indicted or prosecuted. They do this because they assume they can get away with it. A few vacations in Club Fed might put an end to that.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Oh, he’ll be not just “criticized,” but censured. That’ll learn him.
[Update a few minutes later]
The FBI may have violated criminal statutes in it application to the FISA court. Well, I’m sure they’ll be “censured.”
[Update a couple minutes later]
This seems related: Career civil servants illegitimately rule America. We really need an overhaul of civil service, including outlawing public-employee unions. It’s particularly horrible in California.
To The Moon
Bob Zubrin says we need a purpose-driven space program.
Not enough opportunities for graft in that.
California
…has the worst quality of life in the nation. Yes, if you’re not rich, and/or a current homeowner, you’re screwed.
