A depressing, but probably correct analysis (scare quotes because they’re leftists, not liberals).

Earth Day
Celebrating half a century of failed predictions.

John Kerry, moron: ” ‘Even if we get to net zero, we still need to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,’ Kerry said. ‘This is a bigger challenge than a lot of people have really grabbed on to yet.’ “
I wonder if he knows that without CO2 in the atmosphere, almost all life on earth would die?
Leaving Minneapolis
What a disaster. I wonder how long Lileks will hold out?
The 1619 Project
…summarized in one (long) sentence.
Masking Children
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.
