OH, BOY, I HOPE HE’S RIGHT:  The human colonization of the solar system is now unstoppable, except by force.

THEY’RE NOT WRONG:  Gov. Kathy Hochul booed while marching in NYC’s Columbus Day parade: ‘You’re a disgrace’.

WE SHOULD ALL DO AS MUCH ‘NOTHING’ AS ELON MUSK, JEFF BEZOS AND OTHER BILLIONAIRES:  Debunking Another Socialist Lie: Abdul El-Sayed Thinks Billionaires Make Money by ‘Doing Nothing’.

THEY COULDN’T FORCE THE FACTS INTO THE NARRATIVE:  So, We Know What Held Up ABC News’ Hit Piece on Trump’s Sons.

LYING LIARS LYING BOLDLY:  Dem Campaign Ads Cite Soros-Backed Fake News Sites to Sway Voters in Key Races.

IT SEEMS THAT THINGS ARE GETTING MORE UNSTABLE IN CHINA:  Xi’s Purge and the War Over Taiwan.

MORE ACCURATELY, WE’VE CONFIRMED WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW:   We Know Why the Liberal Media Left Out Some Important Context Regarding the Latest Cornell Texts.

TO BE FAIR THE LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE AS TAUGHT TODAY ALSO DOESN’T GIVE YOU A TOEHOLD ON THE FUTURE:  Holding onto the past often requires more than a liberal arts degree.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM COMMIE MAMDANI?  Mamdani Monday: DSA Demands And The Italian Snub.

THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE TRUE:  Kimberly Guilfoyle Is A Headache The Administration Doesn’t Need. 

THIS, PRECISELY THIS:  “Happy to Mail That Ballot for You”?! What the right to vote does NOT require is governments providing every possible personal convenience imaginable.

If other rights were exercised like the right to vote, the government would bring me the gun of my choice and drive me to the range every time I want to practice.

IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD MARCO RUBIO’S SPEECH ON THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION, GO DO IT NOW:  A Speech You Need To Hear.

AND HE’D BE RIGHT:  Trump warns of a 1929-style depression if Dems win.

“GREEN” POLICIES, AS WE NOW HAVE THEM ARE LARGELY JUST ANTI-CIVILIZATION:  The Iran war didn’t make your heating bill this high. Blue-state energy policy did. The US has just 130 operable refineries, down from 301 in 1982.

NO, THAT’S ABSURD:  Does African Writing Sound Like AI? Spoiler: Only after LLMs arrive on the scene.

On the other hand, at what point does “read a lot of AI” devolve to write like an AI. Over time, I found myself doing things like confusing They’re and their when writing, while knowing the difference perfectly well, just because I read it wrong so often. And don’t get me started at using third person plural for third person singular, because I object to that with all my mind, and yet I read it so much that it’s started to invade.

Not yet. Probably. But how soon before we all sound a little like AIs?

MICROBIOME NEWS: Very severe long COVID linked to differences in lung and mouth microbiomes.

ASKING (AND ANSWERING) THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Did the Soviet Union really fire a cannon from a space station? “At the time, Soviet officials were concerned that the United States was already developing spacecraft that could approach, investigate, and either capture or disable Moscow’s sensitive satellites. The natural response to such concerns was to develop defense systems capable of neutralizing such threats — and the result became legendary in some circles as one of the strangest weapons of the Space Race. But was this Soviet ‘space cannon’ ever successfully fired in orbit?”

I MEAN, WHEN YOU’RE A PROGRESSIVE DEM AND YOU CATCH THE EYE OF BIDEN’S DOJ…:

Friendly reminder…

The Biden DOJ launched an investigation into Ilhan Omar in 2024 over her finances, campaign spending, and dealings with a foreign citizen.
