EVERYTHING IS RACIST: You can’t ‘picnic’ or ‘brown bag’ at UM. “‘Picnic’ and ‘brown bag’ are offensive terms, according to a list compiled by the University of Michigan’s Information and Technology Services’ Words Matter Task Force, writes Charles Hilu on College Fix. And if you think that’s crazy or insane, those words also are blacklisted . . . No, banned.”

COME SEE THE ANTISEMITISM INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: Dem Senate Candidates Appear at Event With Supporter of Farrakhan.
WELL, WHAT ELSE IS THERE LEFT TO DO? Overdose Deaths Far Exceed COVID-19 Deaths In San Francisco. “A record high number of 621 people died from overdoses in 2020 compared to the 173 who have died from COVID-19, according to statistics reported by The Associated Press.”
ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION: Facebook’s Laughable Campaign Against Apple Is Really Against Users and Small Businesses.
Facebook’s campaign is targeting a new AppTrackingTransparency feature on iPhones that will require apps to request permission from users before tracking them across other apps and websites or sharing their information with and from third parties. Requiring trackers to request your consent before stalking you across the Internet should be an obvious baseline, and we applaud Apple for this change. But Facebook, having built a massive empire around the concept of tracking everything you do by letting applications sell and share your data across a shady set of third-party companies, would like users and policymakers to believe otherwise.
Make no mistake: this latest campaign from Facebook is one more direct attack against our privacy and, despite its slick packaging, it’s also an attack against other businesses, both large and small.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Welcome to the Miserable Soviet Vaccine Mandate Hell. “Let me be clear: I’m pulling for every version of the COVID-19 vaccine that’s approved. I want these things to work so that we might be able to get back to living somewhat normal lives again. At least that’s how I would prefer it all work out. It’s beginning to look like the availability of the vaccine might just be a continuation of the dystopian freak show we’ve been living in.”
UNEXPECTEDLY: At 10 Years Old, the Affordable Care Act Is Aging Badly. “By almost any measure, the law has fallen short of its objectives. It included features that proved unpopular or unsustainable, led to a decade-long court battle with—of all groups—an order of Catholic nuns devoted to the poor, and it subsidized elective abortion without subscribers’ knowledge in violation of what the law plainly requires.”

GOALPOSTS, MOVED: The Left Redefines Resistance as ‘Sedition.’
It was inevitable that the Democrats would overreact to legal challenges by President Trump and other Republicans to corrupt election practices in swing states, but some responses have been unhinged even by their standards. One recurring refrain is particularly disturbing — that lawyers, members of Congress, and state attorneys general who supported post-election litigation are guilty of sedition. At least one Democratic congressman insists that attorneys representing the president in such challenges should be disbarred and that House members who supported Texas v. Pennsylvania in the Supreme Court shouldn’t be seated in Congress. One of the defendants in that ill-fated lawsuit described it as a “seditious abuse of the judicial process.”
This dangerous view of dissent has a long, sordid history among progressives. Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, for example, was the driving force behind the notorious Sedition Act of 1918, passed by his fellow Democrats at a time when they controlled both houses of Congress. This anti-democratic outrage made it a felony crime to criticize the government and, by extension, Wilson himself. A violation of the Sedition Act was punishable by a fine of as much as $10,000 and imprisonment for as long as 20 years. More than 2,000 American citizens were arrested and prosecuted pursuant to the Sedition Act. This crime against democracy was at length repealed by the Republicans after the GOP won majorities in both houses of Congress in the 1918 midterm elections.
Considering its ignoble history, one would think journalists would avoid a term like “sedition.”
Considering journalism’s ignoble present, there’s no surprise in journalists abusing a term like “sedition” for partisan gain.
HMM: Study reveals UV LED lights effectively kill the human coronavirus.
Due to the hazards of chemical methods, professionally designed UV LED disinfection systems may be a safer solution — one that can disinfect surfaces, air, and water.
According to Prof. Mamane, the researchers “killed the viruses using cheaper and more readily available LED bulbs, which consume little energy and do not contain mercury like regular bulbs.”
“Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of our lives, safely and quickly.”
Exposure time varied between 60 and 90 seconds, which isn’t long at all.
BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY DO: Biden space advisers urge cooperation with China. “They assert that despite China’s pattern of stealing American technology and diverting it for military purposes, a limited space partnership between Washington and Beijing could reduce tensions and the likelihood of a destabilizing space race.”
