THEY’RE PLAYING FOR KEEPS:

“PAY ATTENTION,” YES:

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG:

HEINLEIN’S “CRAZY YEARS” WEREN’T MEANT TO BE AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL:

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

THE PARTY OF, BY, AND FOR EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE WOMEN:

DECLINE IS A CHOICE… MADE IN CHINA:

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: What Is it With His Terrible Escape Vehicle Decisions? “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn how to make a lame escape, a true tale of Flock camera heroism, and the best possible vehicle for joyriding in New Jersey.”

CNN’S “EXTREMISM REPORTER” ONLY SEES EXTREMISTS TO HER RIGHT, WHICH IS MOST EVERYBODY:

THEY PLAY FOR KEEPS:

YES: It’s not about bullying: School shooters want notoriety. “Social-emotional learning and anti-bullying programs don’t reduce the risk of school violence, says a leading researcher. What’s remarkable, writes Hechinger’s Jill Barshay, is that Ron Avi Astor, a UCLA professor, spent years advocating for policies he now thinks are ineffective, and is willing to say so.”

EUROPE, LOL:

Continental self-asphyxiation is a kind of innovation, maybe, if you look at it just right.

THE DEMS AREN’T SENDING THEIR BEST… OR ARE THEY? Texas Democrat Sylvia Garcia, the Pride of East Houston. “She is the latest Democrat to pander to anyone willing to keep her in office, which includes all the people in her district who aren’t supposed to be there.”

VOTING TO SPEND OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY ISN’T CHARITY:

DEAR DIARY:

MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Alex, I’ll Take ‘Peace Deals That Ain’t Gonna Happen’ for $400. “When I read that Hamas has agreed to lay down arms, I automatically presume it’s only because they’ve found better places to stash them. Still, let’s look at the deal and see if there’s anything in there that might work.”

COOL… BUT THAT NAME: Amazon’s Zoox wins first US approval for paid robotaxis without human controls. “The exemption granted by the agency from federal rules requiring human controls, first reported by Reuters, marks a milestone for companies developing robotaxis from the ground up, ​rather than modifying conventional cars under safety regulations written long before self-driving technology emerged.”
