SAME HERE: I left New York City so I could feel hotter.
THE 21st CENTURY ISN’T WORKING OUT THE WAY I HAD HOPED: Feminists Shout ‘VAGINA!’ in Public for Planned Parenthood. WTF?
Don’t try this at home, kids: “I took the challenge at church during prayers. You should have been clear this was just for women. Please send bail money.”
Heh, indeed. Read the whole thing.™
GOOD, BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE SHREDDED: Lean Is Easy. Shredded Is Hard.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. De Blasio and company aren’t just bad liars — they’re dumb too.
Read my lips: I don’t care. It’s an irrelevancy,” Mayor de Blasio declared yesterday.
Well, that’s a little cold.
De Blasio is back in the deep weeds, his minions having booted vagrants from a couple of Brooklyn subway stations so the bums wouldn’t spoil a weekend campaign photo-op.
And getting caught at it.
And then lying about it.
And then getting caught in the lie, which clearly has made the mayor a tad peevish. This is understandable, because the episode exposes him as a man who can’t even stage a four-subway-stop publicity stunt — even as he runs for a second term as chief executive of the world’s greatest city.
(God surely must love New York, given the people it manages to survive.)
Indeed.
I LIKE THIS: Concealed Carry Wednesday: Show Us Your CCW Card And Get 25% Off. “You pack the heat, we cook the meat.” That’s even better than this story.
WHY I’M LEAVING UK ACADEMIA: “To put it simply we have in recent times witnessed an administrative coup in UK academia.”
It’s that way here, too. And it hasn’t made things better.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Scientists dim sunlight, suck up carbon dioxide to cool planet, Reuters reports today:
Scientists are sucking carbon dioxide from the air with giant fans and preparing to release chemicals from a balloon to dim the sun’s rays as part of a climate engineering push to cool the planet.
Backers say the risky, often expensive projects are urgently needed to find ways of meeting the goals of the Paris climate deal to curb global warming that researchers blame for causing more heatwaves, downpours and rising sea levels.

Keith’s team aims to release about 1 kilo (2.2 lbs) of sun dimming material, perhaps calcium carbonate, from a high-altitude balloon above Arizona next year in a tiny experiment to see how it affects the microphysics of the stratosphere.
This was something that John Holdren, Obama’s “Science” “Czar,” who in the 1970s, had a serious dalliance with radical eugenics, proposed in early 2009. Why couldn’t he convince the Obama administration to take him up on his risky environmental scheme, during a period when Democrats had control of all three branches of the federal government, and when James Hansen, NASA’s (since-retired) global warming guru was saying that Obama only had four years to save the earth?
