THAT IS NOT A JOB THAT CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:  Jill Biden: Defense Dept. Spending $500 Million for Women’s Health Research.

RATHER THAN BEING SPECIFIC TO THIS GAME STUDIO, TOXIC POSITIVITY MIGHT BE ENDEMIC TO HOW THE LEFT TRIES TO RELATE TO REALITY:  Concord Budget Was $400 Million, Suffered From ‘Toxic Positivity’.

WHAT ACTUALLY?  Boy, 7, denied passport for family vacation over shared name with Star Wars character: ‘Modern names are evolving’.

OUR CLOWNWORLD:  That’s one way to get a lawsuit.

EVERYTHING IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO IS FINE. JUST FINE:  Ohio, mother tells Vivek Ramaswamy that an immigrant with a machete chased her daughter, and the police didn’t respond to her call.

A BRILLIANT SERIES OF THREADS ABOUT THE LEFT AND CONSENSUS: I’m really liking the implications from taking “Leftists believe Consensus establishes Reality” as an axiom.

I FIRST MET JASON CORDOVA WHEN HE WAS A PUNK KID TRYING TO START OUT IN WRITING: Since then he’s grown up and become a very good writer and — it pains me to mention this — went to the dark side, becoming an editor at Baen. (The editor thing is the dark side. Ask any writer.)  He’s one of the best people I know, though. He’s even nice and good as an editor.  We once shocked some stranger at Liberty con by trading  cordial insults based on the fact I’m of Portuguese origin and he of Spanish descent. The poor newby went screaming to the organizers to denounce us for insensitivity.
