OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

THIS IS MORE LIKE THE 21ST CENTURY I WAS PROMISED: Elon Musk’s SpaceX set to be worth $1 trillion with planned public listing.

IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN DEMOCRATS AND LEFTISTS DO IT:

Wait. Wait. Wait.

I thought everyone knew about the chaplain corps move. Based on my DMs, maybe not.

Navy Chaplains assigned to the Marine Corps were resistant to the cultural revolution happening across the force.

HISTORY LESSON:

Islam did not exist during the time of Cyrus the Great.

The Islamic Republic are followers of Muhammad, not Cyrus.

The Cyrus Cylinder preaches ancient Persian and Zoroastrian values like religious tolerance and human rights, not Islamist ideology.

HMM: NTSB Takes Aim at Level 2 Semi-Autonomous Driving Systems After Fatal Crashes Involving Ford BlueCruise. An over-reliance on semi-autonomous software is making drivers complacent, NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said.

My last car had semi-autonomous mode and the only time I had a problem was on the Interstate in Chattanooga when I came over a hill and there was dead-stopped traffic in both lanes ahead of me. The system couldn’t see cars that weren’t moving against the background, so it didn’t stop. I waited a second to see if it would and then had to brake pretty hard. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I would have rear-ended someone. I assume the separate electronic-crumple-zone braking would have kicked in before a collision but didn’t give it a chance.

My new car doesn’t have as many bells and whistles, and I don’t really miss them. But long drives were less tiring with the semi-autonomy.

A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition:
"A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

I REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE THOUGHT FAREED ZAKARIA WAS SMART:

Have you ever read a book?

Yikes. https://t.co/h1UySf9cS5

Flashback: Three major publications have acknowledged plagiarism by Fareed Zakaria. Does CNN have no shame?

Maybe he should try copying some military history works?

WELL, GOOD: Innovative targeted therapy halts prostate cancer spread to the bone.

THIS HAPPENS A LOT. FEWER CARBS AND MORE CHOLINE CAN HELP: I don’t drink and still got fatty liver disease. A GLP-1 changed everything.

Choline is in eggs, organ meats, all the stuff they told people to avoid for decades.
