TAMARA KEEL: The Decision Cycle. “The people who do well in these situations not only see the situation developing, they recognize it for what it is, have a plan to execute in that situation, and the skills available to execute the plan.”

Plus: “Remember this: when you hear someone say, ‘They just came out of nowhere!’ well, ‘They’ really didn’t just come out of nowhere.”

CENSORSHIP: California Sues The Gatalog, CTRLPew for Distribution of Code for 3D Printing Guns. “Frustrated by the spread of 3D technology and their inability to nationalize their increasingly oppressive gun control laws beyond a few like-minded blue states, politicians in California have looked for ways to spread their tentacles into free America. They took a big step toward doing exactly that on Friday when Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed suit against two popular repositories of 3D printing files, The Gatalog and CTRLPew.”

ANN ALTHOUSE ON HOW “THE CURRENT THING’ APPEARS:

Once you’ve said “2015,” you’ve got your answer staring you in the face! Why don’t you see it? That was the year gay people won their great victory, a right to marry, in Obergefell v. Hodges. McArdle has “an orthodoxy… crystalliz[ing]” — as if a mysterious disembodied force emerged out of nothing — ex nihilo!

But real human beings were involved and their incentive to acquire a new cause is obvious. The activists had won, but they still needed to work, they still needed contributions, they still needed to push conventional people to move forward into challenging new territory. They couldn’t just allow people to become decently accepting and empathetic to the gay people who, after all, are human beings who sometimes love each other and want a home and a family. Remember that moment?

That made too much sense. Ordinary people relaxed. Got comfortable.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. And the grift, to the extent that those two are distinguishable.
