The Coming Regulatory Earthquake
A good explanation of the implications of last week’s SCOTUS decisions on the administrative state.
There was a lot of good news for the Republic last week.
The Stanford Internet Observatory
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.
California’s Paradise
How it became our purgatory.
It’s quite a list.
The Fauci Covid Conspiracy
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.
We’re All Soviets Now
A disturbing and dismaying perspective from Niall Ferguson.
Another parallel is the modern version of Lysenkoism with nutrition, climate, and covid.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Niall Ferguson is right.

New Vitamin D Guidelines
These recommendations are far too non-quantitative for me to have any idea what to make of them.
The “Impossible” Burger
A description of its nightmare ingredients.
I have zero motivation to eat that crap.
The Covid Vaccine
…may have killed hundreds of thousands in the US alone.
I don’t know what it will take for them to admit it. I’m glad that I was in a position to refuse it.
Taking The Stairs
…is a key to a longer, healthier life.
I’m not surprised. If it’s less than four or five flights, I’ll always take stairs, rather than an elevator, if I can, both because it’s better for me, and I don’t like waiting for elevators. I occasionally beat the people in the elevator.
But more importantly, given my relative lack of opportunities for elevator versus stairs, our house is built upside down. That is, the living area is upstairs, and bedrooms are upstairs. The front door is at the top of a long outside staircase, and the first thing we do in the morning, generally, is to go upstairs to the kitchen. We probably do those stairs dozens of times a day, given that my office is downstairs, and we are both retired/working from home.
The house design has the additional benefit that it’s better for sleeping, because the downstairs bedrooms are cooler than upstairs, even when we have skylights open in the living room.
