WE WERE TOLD A LOT OF THINGS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS:

But I have been reliably told for over twenty years that climate change was going to kill us all. How dare you share facts that call that into question? https://t.co/IRts5edGqD

JOEL KOTKIN: California is aging fast — and socialism won’t make us younger.

FLASHBACK: Linda Sarsour Says Jake Tapper Is A White Nationalist.

DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE:

Well, that's to be determined, isn't it?

I'd advise the feds to watch them closely. Scrutinize the finances. Sledgehammer if they so much as jaywalk.

They're already flirting with, if not already actively in conspiracy to commit seditious insurrection. Foreign agents? Sounds… https://t.co/ZRgW1Gfc8A

“Don’t make the mistake of treating communist agitators like they are just another well-intentioned political expression of misguided idealistic youth. When they say they want to toss the Constitution, take them at their word, treat them accordingly.”

MEDIA… I HATE THOSE GUYS:

Minnesota’s largest paper actually figured out a way to shove January 6th into this as a way to excuse an illegal immigrant who sexually assaulted a child.

One of the most insane things I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/xslZbIgPiA

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There’s also a fun vignette challenge.

RABBI MICHAEL BARCLAY’S WEEKEND UPDATE: Rabbi Michael Barclay’s Weekend Update: Iran, Zohran Mamdani, and Tisha b’Av

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT: The Anti-Communist Film Festival – Official Dates Announced!

AND IT’S BACK: Watching the 13th orbital test flight of SpaceX’s Starship/Superheavy.

THAT PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBES ALL OF HIS POLICIES:  Critics slam Mamdani for threatening to arrest Netanyahu in NYC: ‘Delusional’ and ‘reckless’.

THROWING TANTRUMS AT POLICE IS A GOOD WAY TO GET THROWN IN JAIL:  Chaotic bodycam video shows trans Florida student freak out on cop for ‘misgendering’ him — before being cuffed.

OF COURSE SHE DOES:  One of the DSA’s Biggest Influencers Wants to Shred the Declaration of Independence, Too.

REMEMBER WHEN THE IRISH WAGED RELIGIOUS WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER?  This Law Means That Praying at a Northern Ireland Hospital Could Land You in Trouble With the Police.

WHEN EVEN THE ECONOMIST THINKS YOU’RE TOO WOKE:  “Frequent apologias for feminism”: Calling Nolan’s film “an epic mistake”, The Economist dismisses the movie as “a very silly adaptation” of “The Odyssey”.

NEXT ONE WILL LIFTOFF:  SpaceX’s 13th Starship Test Aborted Less than a Second before Liftoff.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  Dr. Oz claims NY Medicaid program is being ripped off by Chinese crime syndicate.

JUDGE BOASBERG TRIPS ON HIS OWN BANANA PEEL:  Careful What You Gavel For: How Boasberg’s Lecture Became Trump’s Weapon. Thanks, Your Honor: Trump Activates the Court Boasberg Told Him About.

AI RESTRICTIONISTS WANT YOUR SYSTEMS VULNERABLE AND YOUR HANDS TIED:  Hugging Face dealt recently with an AI operated attack. They had to use open models to defend, because the closed model guardrails would not allow them to use them for defense.

X-cancel.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE CRAMPED SMALLNESS OF A MIND THAT CAN ONLY APPRECIATE PEOPLE OF THE SAME RACE, SEX OR OTHER PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC:  I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school… …but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me. Why? Because they were GREEK characters. I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.

X-cancel.

WHERE IS MY SHOCKED FACE AGAIN?  Controversial program paying drug users for used syringes becomes permanent in NYC. The $3M budget line uses opioid settlement money critics say should go to addiction treatment services instead.

BULWARK BOTTOMS OUT:

Sarah Longwell has come to the end of her TDS journey only to realize that Trump is the better choice.

She’s now trashing Democrats. https://t.co/xwjNkNzt5N

— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 19, 2026

I understand the frustration Bulwark staffers are feeling, now that their favorite candidate for the Senate and for 2028 has suffered his downfall:

UPDATE:

They really thought they could just walk into the Democrat Party because muh Trump and tame the dragon. https://t.co/wrYGnJVOJW

As “Cockburn” of the Spectator asked in 2020, a month before Covid hit: Why do NeverTrumpers think they can run the Democratic party?

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Another reusable rocket? Japan launches, lands RV-X prototype (video).

AS ELON SAYS ABOUT THE PAYPAL DAYS, THE SCAMMERS ALWAYS PROTEST THE LOUDEST: Historian says it’s racist to question her — after book about slavery pulled from shelves over inaccuracies.

The proper response to this sort of response to criticism is “That’s bullshit and you should be ashamed to be peddling it.”

Meanwhile, a suggestion to academic prize committees: Before you award a prize, have some research assistants check the citations and sources.

WELL, A VISIT TO THE E.R. SHOULD FIX THAT HAPPINESS SURPLUS: Too Much Happiness Sent A Woman To The Emergency Room In an Incredibly Rare Case.
