DON’T GET TOO FULL OF YOURSELVES, LADIES. On the other hand, don’t feel too bad, this happened to the insufferable U.S. team too. Paging Riley Gaines: ‘World’s Sexiest Footballer,’ Swiss Women Lose 7-1 to 14-year-old boys. “Switzerland’s women’s national football team, including Alisha Lehmann who was voted ‘World’s sexiest footballer’, suffered a crushing 7-1 defeat against FC Luzern’s Under-15 boys’ side during their preparations for Euro 2025. . . . The embarrassing result emerged after footage from the behind-closed-doors friendly was accidentally posted on TikTok by one of the teenage players. The video garnered approximately 70,000 views before being removed from the platform.”

OVERTURNING REYNOLDS V. SIMS AND BAKER V. CARR — two cases that have no constitutional basis other than the predilections of the Warren Court — should be a priority.

Upstate New Yorkers live in a de facto vassal district. Ditto rural Coloradans. Southern Illinois same.

If the cities aren’t dealt with, that’s the fate of every red county in America. https://t.co/NbOWuYqznZ

Also, I’ve written about Intrastate Secession before.

DAVE FRIEDMAN: The Energy Layer of the AI Stack: AI’s scaling ceiling isn’t algorithms. It’s megawatts, metallurgy, and lead times.

A lot of people’s mental model of AI is something like Facebook. It’s probably closer to something like SpaceX or Tesla. I agree on “go nuclear or go home” when it comes to meeting AI power demands.

JOHN LUCAS: New York Accelerates Toward the Cliff: But the Lightbringer cometh.

MATT TAIBBI: Optimism: The Last Taboo.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Fourth Axiom Space private astronaut mission launched to ISS.

On a SpaceX Crew Dragon, of course.

THIS SEEMS UNFAIR: Semen Allergies Aren’t Rare After All (And Yes, Men Have Them Too). Especially for the men who are allergic to their own semen.

COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Smoking may speed cognitive decline.

THERE ARE NEWER DRUGS ON THE WAY THAT DON’T TO THIS: Studies exploring muscle loss from GLP-1 drugs.

I’d like to see a medication that combines fat loss with myostatin inhibition to promote muscle growth. And apparently there’s one on the way!

So Americans will be skinny and hot. And no doubt leftists will complain.

#JOURNALISM: The NYT warns on “proactive peeing.”

FLASHBACK: Bring Back Our Knobs: Analog vs. Digital.

YOU WOULD THINK THAT LASER RANGEFINDER TECH WOULD BE PRETTY MATURE BY NOW: Japan’s ispace blames ‘hard landing’ on moon on Laser Range Finder.

SPACE JUNK, BETTER PUT UP MY UMBRELLA: EU’s Space Act would track space objects and clear satellite debris.

HEALTH: Blood test might predict symptoms relapse in MS patients.

WE NEED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE WE HAVE A POPULATION CRISIS! WE HAVE A POPULATION CRISIS BECAUSE OF IMMIGRANTS!

Immigrants depress organic population growth by competing for jobs with young men. They’re aren’t a substitute for low population growth, they’re a cause.

What’s more, they also depress innovation and investment by making labor expansion cheaper than capital.

Just say no. https://t.co/z0HV7Q32mf

Both of these things can be true, but I think they’d make a terrible Reese’s commercial.

MARK JUDGE: The Man Crisis and ‘Iron John’ at 35. “I remember that when Iron John became a phenomenon in the 1990s every single actor, journalist, and performance artist I knew was eager to create a parody of it and the so-called men’s movement. Those people have now either lost themselves or are living passive lives where they are ordered around by their wives and raising dull sons.”

SOME VERY SHADY CITATIONS IN LOWER-COURT SECOND AMENDMENT CASES: Seth Barrett Tillman: A Phenomenon in Search of a Theory / Recent Citations to Michael Bellesiles’ Publications.

NOTHING SAYS “ACADEMIC STANDARDS” LIKE “RESISTANCE CREDIBILITY.” Harvard Considers a Deal with Trump but is Worried About Losing Its Resistance Credibility.

BUT IS THERE AN AUTOPEN?

I have a feeling Iran's regime already changed. All the Supreme Leader's underlings needed to do was lock him in a bunker and take away his phone "for his own safety."

Then tell anyone who asks that the Supreme Leader isn't meeting with anyone in person but they know his…
