Don’t Care about Fake Laws, Crimes
I don’t care about Hunter Biden’s so-called tax crimes or gun crimes, no matter how clear the evidence may be. I have no love for the Bidens, but I don’t believe there is even one legitimate tax or anti-gun rule. Not one. Accusing someone of breaking one of those fake laws is completely pointless.
So Long as There are Nukes, We Had Better Hope We Live in a MAD World
Those of us who came to adulthood before 1991 grew up in constant knowledge of our own prospective annihilation on, at most, a few minutes’ notice. It wasn’t a good feeling.

The very act of financing scientific research is prejudicial because of the stamp of exclusive legitimacy it implies. As the pandemic illustrates, a truly free marketplace of ideas is literally a matter of life and death.
Don’t Make Enemies over Politics
Some would have you believe we are at war with each other, but your neighbors aren’t the enemy, even if they follow the enemy. Or if you do. Don’t let politics make you hate each other — that would be a tragedy.
Note to SCOTUS: Section 230 is an Acknowledgement of Reality, Not a “Liability Shield”

The case deals with one aspect of “the 26 words that created the Internet” — Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. As is usually the case when Section 230 comes up, the pundit-media industrial … Continue reading Note to SCOTUS: Section 230 is an Acknowledgement of Reality, Not a “Liability Shield”
