CNN is generally a terrible news source, at least on politics, but Jackie Wattles is an excellent space reporter.

Not space related, but an example of how scurrilous (and hypocritical) CNN can be in general, despite their good reporters.

David Sacks is predicting one. I’m sure that there have been a lot of stealth Republicans there for a long time (as there are in LA), but once the dam breaks, they can come out in public.
A recent House Judiciary Committee report alleges that, by cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security, the SIO’s Election Integrity Partnership “provided a way for the federal government to launder its censorship activities in hopes of bypassing both the First Amendment and public scrutiny.”
Of course it did.
And yes, in their behavior in enabling and not discouraging the pro-Hamas mobs, the universities are objectively pro-Hamas.

All eyes should be on Al Jazeera as being founded, funded, and directed by terrorists.
Teachers unions (and public-employee unions in general) should be abolished.
After the quickest achievement of fifty flights, an interview with Rocketlab’s Peter Beck.
How it became our purgatory.
It’s quite a list.

I’m trying to clone my SSD Linux boot drive to an on-board NVME. I use dd to copy, and it says it’s done, but when I look at the drives in Disks, the main partition on the NVME is 1G smaller than the one on the SSD ( 248 versus 247, and the NVME has a few gigs of free space), and it doesn’t recognize the partition type. I’ve tried it twice, and gotten the same result. Is there something I’m missing?

OK, so it turns out that it did work, even though it wasn’t supposed to. When I rebooted and looked at the disks again, they were identical (except that the NVME had some free space on it, so apparently it was a little larger than the SSD). All seems to be well so far, and for the first time, I’m booting from the motherboard. So if someone tells you that you can’t clone a Linux boot drive to an NVME with dd, tell them they’re wrong.
Jim Meigs describes the sordid history:
…our public health officials, abetted by a politicized media, manufactured an airtight consensus on both Covid science and policy. This consensus was largely immune to scientific evidence or concerns about the real-world impacts of draconian policies.
But not everyone joined the lockstep march on Covid. Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, along with two other public health experts, issued the Great Barrington Declaration. It sensibly argued that the social costs of extended lockdowns far exceeded their mostly hypothetical benefits. The Great Barrington argument was derided in the press and secretly censored on social media at the behest of government officials.
And no one has been held accountable, even at the polls. At a minimum, Fauci should be indicted for perjury to Congress, though that’s hardly the worst of his sins. But nothing will happen to him until we get an Attorney General who cares about the law and the Constitution.
