Electron Band Structure In Germanium
…my ass.
It’s an oldie, but a goodie.
Physical Child Abuse
Adams’s gag-inducing new policy of swapping out food for colon-blow roughage and mashed yeast is a declaration of food war. As if we didn’t have enough wars going on— the woke wars, the COVID wars, the language wars and the info wars and the streaming wars. The hell with peas, give peace a chance.
It’s also a religious war: Eric (like Bill Clinton, another member of the militant vegan brigades) used to be fat, got thin, and is now an evangelist for the cause. Good for you, Eric! But don’t force your cauliflower patties and cheese-less tacos on the kids. It’s been a horrible two years for them: haven’t they suffered enough?
Or is this just a back door way of ensuring they don’t take their masks off even at lunch, because no one wants to eat yam stew?
I wonder how many New Yorkers are fine with this? Or if it will result in more emigration to Florida?
The Covid Narrative
…is collapsing.
In Support Of Ilya Shapiro
A faculty letter, with a lot of impressive names.
The Religion Of “Liberals”
Unlike Gleen Greenwald, I use scare quotes because people who think and behave like this are the farthest thing from actual liberals.
Dispatches From White “Progressives”
Lockdowns
I never thought that they would.

Why can’t the CDC admit that there’s no solid evidence to support masking in schools?
What little regard I’ve ever had for the CDC has been pretty much dissipated in the past two years.

First link fixed, sorry!
Masks In School
The case against it. From the Atlantic (!).
School Choice
The left doesn’t like it, but the right doesn’t need them to.
Government schools were always a project of the left, going back to socialist John Dewey. It’s time to blow up the system.
And I hope we see a lot more of this sort of thing. Anger about schools could be a gateway drug to questioning leftist views on many other issues.

The biggest educational innovation is school choice.

Dems’ covid hysteria is driving away liberal mothers.
For Wagner, the ‘schools issue’ proved to be a gateway into seeing the world through another set of eyes.
She realized early in the pandemic that it was conservative sites who were reporting on the impact of school closures and concerns she had over curriculum.
She went from a casual viewer of CNN and MSNBC to seeking out Fox News clips about the ‘schools issue’ on YouTube because they were the only ones covering it.
Soon, she did the unthinkable: She just turned on Fox News itself. And she realized, ‘It’s not what CNN claims it to be.’
…Ashley warned, ‘I’m about as lefty as they come. I campaigned for Elizabeth Warren in 2020, Bernie Sanders in 2016, and Ralph Nader in 2000. Most of my views on specific issues haven’t changed… Now I don’t know if I can vote for any of them unless they reckon with what they did, and continue to do, to kids during this pandemic.’
‘I would even accept an apology, a mea culpa, a reflection on what they failed to do, and an effort to make it right. But I’m not holding my breath.’
Good plan. Because it will never happen. These morons’ egos will never allow it. Parents will remember for a long time how their kids were sacrificed at the pleasure of the Democrats and teachers’ unions. And there will be a terrible reckoning for them in November, just as there was in Virginia.
