There is no such thing as choice without a downside. People consider solar energy to have no negatives. That isn't quite true. To generate enough power for the US, you would need to cover most of a large, southwestern state. And even in those desert areas, there is still enough ecology that large solar farms will have a negative impact.
But technology is still a good thing. Consider how they are now using lasers to kill weeds instead of using herbicides. The 21st century is a marvelous place where free minds can enter the free market with better ideas that improve everyone's lives.
It seems that the American approach to cutting CO2 emissions works better than anything being proposed by various climate activists. I'm sure they will be acknowledging our progress presently.
This is the kind of thing that drives normal people nuts. For those of a certain age, the phrase "Jane you ignorant slut" has a certain context/meaning that supersedes the language being used. For the uninitiated, check out some early seasons of Saturday Night Live. You know...when it was still funny. Here is the story of when one of our humorless technological "betters" responds to obvious humor.
Earlier this year, the USS Bonhomme Richard was in port for major repairs. A small fire turned into a large fire. The US Navy was unable to fight the fire and now the ship will be scrapped. This after-action report is just sad. I shudder to think of how our sailors are prepared (or unprepared) to fight an onboard fire.
I'm not a fan of the "let's go Brandon" chant. I also wasn't a fan of Robert DeNiro's act of incivility towards Mr. Trump - or those that emulated him. Rich Lowry's reminder of the past is worthwhile for anyone that wants to push the nation back towards a more civil practice of politics.
When “tax the rich” really means “let’s write catchy slogans on dresses but actually give the rich a $36,000 tax cut.”

Yes, this is what Democrats want to put in the reconciliation bill. No, this is not a joke.

While I have areas of disagreement with Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I wouldn't follow her into a restroom to continue to harass her into accepting my position. Nor would I disrupt someone's wedding to do the same thing. These protesters either lack shame or maturity. In either case, their perspective should be discounted accordingly.
I've long hoped that the Democrat party would seek to limit the influence of the progressive/socialist wing. I hope this is a sign of progress on that front. New York City's newly elected mayor certainly seems more committed to a functioning government that wants to reduce crime and allow businesses to operate effectively.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz laid into Attorney General Merrick Garland over he sicced federal agents on parents exercising their First Amendment rights to protest at school board meetings. Professor Glenn Reynolds follows up with a piece that says it all. Thank goodness that Merrick Garland isn't on the Supreme Court. He is unfit to serve as either a Justice of the Supreme Court or, quite frankly, as Attorney General of the United States.
Lampreys with teeth.

In case you missed last week's most idiotic political stunt, the grifters of the Lincoln Project paid Democrat operatives with tiki torches to stand near Glenn Youngkin's bus and pretend to be racists that supported him. The first detail that the MSM missed is that one of these "racists" was a black guy holding a tiki torch. Unless the Klan has established some sort of new affirmative action program, it was pretty clear to most normal people that this was a false flag operation.
Most people now know that the news reporting about the content of Hunter Biden's laptop was factual and relevant. The media's suppression of that information influenced the outcome of the 2016 election.
Periodically, I say something pretty radical. Today, my radical statement is that people should not be pressed to have sex with people that do not "do it" for them. Part of that "do it" factor is the genitalia that one will encounter in that prospective...ummm...encounter. If one is fumbling beneath the sheets expecting to find sausage, one should find that sausage. Alternatively, if one is fishing for clams, then a clam is what one should find. Yet there are some that aren't sympathetic with that perspective and are bullying clam fishers to accept sausage as a suitable substitute. As is frequently the case, women are the first and biggest losers.
The space continues apace. As it has been with all other technology, the leap from government-centered projects to private enterprise will mark the single most important shift in space exploration and space colonization. Elon Musk is serving the interests of future generations of humanity.
It seems that we have some new anti-viral meds that will be useful in the fight against Covid. The more viable tools in our medical toolbox, the better.
With a podcast version of the story for those that like audio. Why that former prosecutor is not in jail (instead of sitting on the bench as a judge) is beyond me.Thread.

News for some - The USSR really was an evil empire.
