DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:
In 2021, I publicly criticized my school for putting ideological indoctrination ahead of education. What followed was intimidation, harassment, and retaliation: a principal who sought a “mental wellness check,” physical threats from a fellow teacher, doxxing, the release of… https://t.co/QZTpMD82Ce

PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT WILL LIKELY CONCLUDE THEY HAVE TO PURGE THE LEFT OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE: Paul Krugman’s Deranged Call to Purge America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think. “Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren’t serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls’ locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection. . . . If you don’t know what that means exactly, let me tell you: outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life. It is Ursula von der Leyen’s wet dream when it comes to AfD. There were also, of course, trials and executions for the top-level malefactors.”

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like. “A duly elected president — one who won a majority of both the electoral vote and the popular vote, as well as carrying every swing state — is trying to enforce valid federal laws widely supported by the public. His political opponents are trying to use violence to stop it.”

“THE MOST EXPENSIVE MAGIC TRICK IN AMERICA. AND THE THING THAT DISAPPEARS? IT’S YOUR HOME OWNERSHIP:”
Everyone’s yelling “communism” about Mamdani’s housing plan. They’re missing the actual trick.
His own plan says the city will “engage lenders to trigger foreclosure” on landlords.

UPDATE (from Steve): The plan was obvious just as soon as Mamdani announced it.
So the first step is to incentivize neglect via rent control. A few steps later, you "transfer ownership" to your cronies. And then you're just a couple more steps away from "some animals are more equal than others." https://t.co/1L2sjKgRml

Veteran computer author Jeff Duntemann’s second collection of short fiction runs the gamut from spaceflight to mathematically rigorous witchcraft. The volume includes “Cold Hands,” (nominated for the Hugo Award) “Our Lady of the Endless Sky,” “Inevitability Sphere,” “Whale Meat,” “Born Again, With Water,” “Drumlin Boiler,” “Drumlin Wheel,” and “Roddie,” plus a new excerpt from his hard SF nanotech adventure novel, The Cunning Blood.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX gets US approval to test new Starfall capsules for space manufacturing.
According to the newly released documents, Starfall will provide both in-space manufacturing and point-to-point cargo delivery services. This is in line with previously announced plans for Starship to rapidly deliver military cargo for the U.S. military.
The Starfall vehicles could also serve as a “proliferated successor” to the International Space Station (ISS), as they could support “a self-sustaining manufacturing economy in space”.
In order to create a “self-sustaining commercial in-space manufacturing market”, the vehicles would offer access to “microgravity and vacuum, loiter on orbit, and safe return from orbit as a service at scale,” the documents state.
The FAA’s documents do not provide any information regarding potential launch dates for the first Starfall missions. However, the agency does clearly state that Starfall would be a large-scale project if it is eventually greenlit and officially announced by SpaceX.
According to the documents, Elon Musk’s private space company “plans to develop a mass-producible reentry vehicle that can precisely deliver cargo from space to various locations on Earth, which would be able to launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship.”
Instead of One Big Station, think of Starfall as an “Army of Davids” approach to microgravity manufacturing and experimentation, to coin an Instaphrase.
ABSOLUTELY: Donald Trump is the Counterculture.
BUT YOU CAN’T HAVE ANARCHO-TYRANNY IF PEOPLE CAN DEFEND THEMSELVES:
Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun in the UK.
Actually there shouldn't be any "allowed" about it. The bearing of arms is a natural right of free men, and any government that infringes on it renders itself illegitimate.

SCOTT PELLEY FIRED FROM CBS NEWS AFTER 60 MINUTES CRASHOUT:
In an early statement to The New York Times, Pelley humbly compares himself to a combat veteran.
Mr. Pelley, in a telephone interview on Tuesday evening shortly after he was fired, said he had devoted decades of his life to “60 Minutes,” which he said he still cared about deeply.
“I have been in combat in Afghanistan,” Mr. Pelley said. “I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”
Of course, there’s only one thing Pelley can do now that he’s been fired by CBS:

I’m sure an audience of at least dozens are eagerly awaiting the Amazon Grand Tour-style reboot of 60 Minutes — just imagine the opening scene, when Pelley puts the band back together again!
