THE E.V. BUBBLE IS STARTING TO DEFLATE: Ford says “no exact date” to restart F-150 Lightning production: The automaker says it has plenty of electric F-150 pickups in inventory, though.

HMM: Clinical trial suggests opioids unnecessary after wisdom tooth surgery. To be honest, I barely took any pain meds after mine were out. But it was a straightforward extraction under a local anesthetic. I took a codeine pill when I got home, and another when I went to bed, and then it was Advil all the way. But Helen had dental surgery several weeks ago, and she couldn’t sleep without opiates at night.
MOST OF AMERICA’S INSTITUTIONS ARE RUN BY PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFORMING FOR THEIR PEERS, WITH SIMILAR RESULTS:

Hollywood can make movies American audiences love.
They just don’t like their audience. Instead they opt to make movies for elite critics and their elite peers — and are willing to pay handsomely for it. https://t.co/HeQwho6Yvi

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FALLL IN LOVE, YOU JUST HAVE TO FALL IN LINE. Anti-Gun Brady PAC Quietly Yanked Jay Jones Endorsement Over His Violent Text Messages. It Now Claims To Have ‘Proudly’ Supported Him.
THE WAPO EDITORIAL NOTICES THE OBVIOUS: Zohran Mamdani drops the mask: The mayor-elect divides New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors.
Mamdani ran an upbeat campaign, with a nice-guy demeanor and perpetual smile papering over a long history of divisive and demagogic statements. New Yorkers periodically checking in on politics could understandably believe that he simply wanted to bring the city together and make it more affordable. That interpretation became much harder after his victory speech.
Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment, Mamdani abandoned his cool disposition and made clear that his view of politics isn’t about unity. It isn’t about letting people build better lives for themselves. It is about identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to “the bosses” who exploit workers — and then crushing them. His goal is not to increase wealth but to dole it out to favored groups. The word “growth” didn’t appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump garnered eight mentions.
Duh. He’s an ignorant, angry leftist, who believes what ignorant, angry leftists always believe. The press should have been pointing this out all along. I mean, the leftist press, but they don’t do this kind of thing to leftists.
THE LEFT’S CULTURE OF IMPUNITY:
These incidents show the sense of license and righteous rage of many on campuses today. That is fed by a culture of orthodoxy and viewpoint intolerance that pervades higher education in the United States today. https://t.co/7BBPXuurxd

WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT A LEFTIST:
As a former professor, I couldn’t imagine singling out some of my students based on their race or ethnicity and specifically trying to make them uncomfortable.
And then basically telling them they should feel that way.
And then publishing about it.
Insane. https://t.co/7rD9DPS2bQ

THE EV BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Report: Ford Might Kill the F-150 Lightning Electric Pickup Truck.
13TH CENTURY HUNGARY WAS A VIOLENT PLACE: Medieval duke’s remains recount his grisly murder. “Details surrounding the grisly killing of the 13th century Hungarian duke named Béla of Macsó have remained murky for centuries. The duke met his demise at the hand of enemies, but far less is known about what motivated his killers or how the attack really unfolded. Now, after years of reexamination and interdisciplinary analysis, an international team of researchers has a much clearer and reliable picture of Béla’s fatal encounter. Their findings published in the journal Forensic Science International: Genetics not only corroborate the dignitary’s skeletal remains–they show that the duke’s death was no crime of passion.”
THE BEST MEDICINE: Trial finds exercise has benefits for advanced breast cancer patients.
