I’VE BEEN SAYING THAT ESG IS A BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY FROM THE BEGINNING: Texas court rules against American Airlines in ESG 401(k) plan case: The presiding judge found the airline breached its fiduciary duty under federal law by prioritizing non-financial considerations in its employee retirement plan.
This was obvious, but the obviousness was overridden by the sense that anything that’s a fad among the ruling class must be okay.

I DO BELIEVE HE’S FALLEN UNDER ELON’S INFLUENCE: Zuckerberg does Rogan.
Alternatively, all the sociopolitical data he has from Meta has shown him which way the wind is blowing, and how hard it’s likely to blow. Either is fine with me.

Well, or he was hesitant to do it when the WH might have retaliated against Meta, and/or it would have caused a big public backlash in a more left-wing era. The politics aren't one-sided here. It's incredibly naive to think Biden's politics were pure as the driven snow. https://t.co/sWclMqEB6d

Holy crap Zuck seems (almost) like a biological human being on Rogan! I don’t think people give Joe enough credit.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: A taller, heavier, smarter version of SpaceX’s Starship is almost ready to fly.
WELL, YES:
The conviction should be overturned on appeal. However, the most lasting judgment will be against the New York court system itself in allowing this travesty of justice to occur. https://t.co/DuQ2vrHScH

TAKE YOUR TIME, WE’VE WAITED THIS LONG: Weather prompts Blue Origin to push back New Glenn rocket launch.
WHEN A BOOK, “100 AUTHORS AGAINST EINSTEIN” WAS PUBLISHED, ALBERT EINSTEIN SAID, “IF I WERE WRONG THEY WOULD ONLY NEED ONE.” 17,000 doctors call RFK Jr. ‘actively dangerous’ to national healthcare.
WITH TODAY’S MEDIA AND POLITICAL ELITES, THERE’S ALWAYS THE CHANCE THAT THEY’RE COMPLICIT.
Shame on you @NewYorker
The question is not why does @elonmusk care about *on going* industrial scale rape and torture gangs in Britain.
The question is – why don’t you? https://t.co/uFfUdVS4Y3

Meanwhile, a friend texts: “Gotta say I like the historical position the lawfare faction is setting itself up for with this petty, petulant sentencing kabuki, off convoluted ham sandwich indictment tried before a partisan judge. All those years, all those millions of dollars, this is all they got. Then he’s president again. You go, lefties! Never stop leftin’!!! Their biggest moment is lawfare’s epitaph and punchline.”
FROM A FRIEND: “Liberalism is when you have a fire department with 69 genders but zero working fire hydrants.”
POLLS SHOW THAT WORD IS OFFENSIVE TO LATINOS. THEY SHOULD BE CANCELED. University of South Florida to feature art exhibit on the word ‘Latinx.’
No, not really. But it’s a dumb word, invented for dumb purposes.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF ANNOYING SCOLDS, WHO SHOULD BE IGNORED. HBCU marching band scolded for accepting invitation to Trump’s inauguration.
I LOVE HOW THE PEOPLE WHO MADE GEORGE FLOYD A SAINT NOW THINK “CONVICTED FELON” IS SOMETHING AWFUL WHEN APPLIED TO TRUMP.
…It will not happen. Today, we will see the ignoble end to a raw form of lawfare. What critics will get is the labeling of Trump as a convicted felon, a fact that will then be repeated like a mantra by the media. Merchan can be expected to add to that rhetoric with punishment…

In reality, it’s the reputation and legitimacy of the justice system, not of Trump, that will suffer. And rightly so.
OUT: TWO-TIER JUSTICE. IN: TWO-TIER GOVERNMENT.
The Biden Administration has now promised to cover 100% of recovery costs for Los Angeles for six months.
But they gave 3500 homeless Appalachian families another 24 hours before they kick them out into a winter storm so it’s fine. https://t.co/Q6mxvXVHB7

GETTING THE JOB DONE IS THEIR LOWEST PRIORITY:
$17.6 million doesn't seem a huge cut ( $837 million remained). Surely there's that much flab. But a second prong of the Fireman First principle, IIRC, is that the people at the bottom who do the real work (not the people at HQ) are the ones who'll actually get cut if it comes to…

OPEN THREAD: Come make some noise.
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE IN A NUTSHELL: Gavin Newsom literally lies to a woman about the fires, and we can literally see that it is a lie.
From the comments: “As a follow-up she might ask what earthly good it would do to talk to President Biden. Or maybe he was trying to get in touch with Trump.” Yeah, but I don’t think so.
I KNEW THAT A LONG TIME AGO, BUT THAT’S BECAUSE I’M NOT DUMB ENOUGH TO BE A DEMOCRAT:
It's slowly dawning on the absolute dumbest liberals in media that nothing Democratic Party operatives have been ordering them to say for years is anything those Democrats actually believed. They just found gullible partisan idiots in media to say it for them on command. pic.twitter.com/xHGx7MTCWH
