THE LONELY LIVES OF SCIENTISTS: Paleontologists Spent 20 Years Dating Thousands of Fossils – Here’s What They Found.

Next time try dating women, guys.

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL:

There were no TikToks from moms empathizing with Iryna Zarutska. No tribute videos saying, "This could have been me." Empathy is not what's going on. Forces are much darker and anti-child. Moloch has returned. https://t.co/nEpzLH28Yt

THE PACIFICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF CHRYSLER’S BETTER EFFORTS. I BELIEVE STEPHEN GREEN HAD ONE AND LIKED IT. 2027 Chrysler Pacifica First Test: After a 1,700-Mile Road Trip, It’s Still Hard to Beat.

UPDATE (from Steve): My wife bought the original, more wagon-like Pacifica right before we had our first kid. She loved it, and still calls it “the ultimate mom-mobile.”

START SPREADING THE NEWS: William English’s National Firearms Survey 2.0 Should Terrify Assault Weapons Ban Fans.

THEY’RE ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: AI Scanned 2 Million Earthquake Records and Found Six Hidden Zones Near Earth’s Core.

THE 21ST CENTURY ISN’T TURNING OUT AS I HAD HOPED: Huge Spike in Foodborne Illnesses in 2026.

WHY NOT BOTH? What’s more effective: washing your hands or using hand sanitizer? Medical experts weigh in.

YEAH, ARCHITECTS SHOULD BE GLAD THEIR GUY LOST ON THIS. As this hilarious thread notes, they would have opened up a real can of worms establishing a precedent that you could sue if ugly buildings were inflicted on you.

If “aesthetic injury” is grounds to stop the White House ballroom, why did these people never demand we tear down the hideous Department of Health building? pic.twitter.com/CzenPosujb

Earlier: From Bauhaus to Tom’s House: James Lileks on architect Louis Kahn.

“While browsing through an Architectural Record from 1977, there was a gushing review of the incredibly brilliant Yale Center for British Art by the incredibly brilliant Louis Kahn…Ah yes. That one. The building that gave us one of the best examples of life before and after the Second World War. Hint: Kahn’s building is on the left. You know how many years separate those two structures? Nineteen. The building on the right was completed in 1928. The building on the left was begun in 1947.”

THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T OFFER A SOLUTION BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T SEE A PROBLEM. THIS IS THEIR GOAL.

A DIPLOMA IN DUPLICITY: Despite pledge, Washington & Lee has not reinstalled plaques honoring Robert E. Lee — and his horse.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Texas pushes three-year bachelor’s degrees to cut college costs.

THE NARRATIVE MUST BE SERVED: Politicians need to stop holding press conferences every time someone dies of measles. (But they probably won’t.)

GOOD: Josh Blackman: The End Is Near for the American Bar Association.

COLOR ME UNSURPRISED:

1/ OUR NEW REPORT: EQUITY REDUCES EXCELLENCE. Jason Arday was not an aberration. He was a feature, not a bug, of a system that replaced merit with identity. Our new study of nearly 2,000 prestigious Canada Research Chairs provides the hard numbers. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/5h6ifelwmu

HIGHER EDUCATION’S FUNDING IS DELIBERATELY OBSCURE. END THAT.

Who controls the funding influences the education of our next generation. There is no good argument against transparency in the funding of higher education. https://t.co/yEpiyqAN8N

TO A LEFTIST, THESE THINGS ARE CONNECTED BECAUSE THEY DISLIKE BOTH OF THEM:

On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy.

Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with… pic.twitter.com/PLWRCuxt7v

CLOWN SHOW: Ohio Democratic Congressional Candidate Arrested For Attempting to Swallow Crack Cocaine, Slapping Stranger at Baseball Game.

MAKE THEM PAY: Legal Fight Escalates Over Leftist Billionaire’s Funding of E. Jean Carroll’s Lawsuit Against Trump.

TRUE: Leftists Will Never Self-Reflect, And They Will Never Apologize For The Horrors They Inflict.

OF COURSE HE DOES: Joel Kotkin: Carney aligns with the anti-free speech China and EU. Horrible leaders who are screwing over their people usually don’t want their people talking about it.

RULE OF LAW:

Remember for reasons that have never quite been explained Donald Trump can win an election, but doesn’t have a right to do the things the president does, again because reasons. https://t.co/SCcCQRNIvM

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

There's a lot of truth in here, as you'd expect from @asymmetricinfo, but there is one more layer: for 30 years, we have allowed only ONE real lender for college tuition, with zero under-writing & ample political pressure to waive even principal payments. Monopoly lending helped… https://t.co/pyS6UyfeUq

ONCE MORE UNTO THE MEME, DEAR FRIENDS:

Turns out all we need to do to win the Canada war is memeTF out of them.

ANOTHER UPDATE: And Eric S. Raymond is doing just that:

ROFL.

Accurate translation of Carney: "WAAH! They hurt my tender widdle feewings!"

This is pussification and ineptitude almost beyond comprehension. https://t.co/wcCExSIOlj
