In our continued overreaction to this bug, the nation has engaged in industrial-scale child abuse for over a year now.

Public-School Wokeness
…is belatedly fueling a public backlash.
The Trump Voters
…are not going away.
An Experimental Anti-Viral
…is effective at treating Covid.
Between this kind of thing and the vaccines, I think this is all over but the shouting. I am definitely done with wearing a mask outside, especially in sunlight. Masks outside never made any scientific sense.

Popular new mask says “I’m not a Democrat; I just forgot to take off my mask when I left the store.”
Public Education
The pandemic revealed how broken it is.
All these leftist institutions–government schools, academia, Hollywood, the media, the Democrat-run cities–should be thoroughly kicked while they’re down, and keep them down.
Big Business
Why it loves Black Lives Matter, and woke politics in general:
Woke politics has also been useful for firms hiding all kinds of unsavoury practices. Many firms will proclaim allegiance to BLM one day, while lobbying against curbs on forced labour the next, for instance. Indeed, whether you take the Marxist view, that all firms in a capitalist system exploit labour anyway, or the Adam Smith view, that sellers in a marketplace act out of self-interest rather than kindness, it is surely hard to take any company’s proclamations of righteousness too seriously.
This reminds me of how “feminist” men use their wokeism to attempt to insulate themselves from their abuse of women, like when Harvey Weinstein went to war with the NRA to deflect from his predatory behavior toward starlets.

Big Tech, Big Law, And Big Woke are banding together for a political realignment.
Diversity Training
How it widens the gulf between the races.
I’m borrowing Sarah Hoyt’s shocked face, even though I know it’s been getting quite a workout.
The Social Justice Mob
“When it came for me, Vanderbilt did nothing.”
Why Not Fewer Voters?
Like Kevin Williamson, I too have always thought that there is nothing intrinsically desirable about increasing the number of people voting. As with many things, quality is much more important than quantity.
The Current Politicocultural DIsaster
Heinlein saw it coming six decades ago.
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Yes, our “elites” do seem to want a racial apocalypse.
