This Is What Destroying the Vaccine Market Looks Like
A shocking move by RFK Jr.’s team has the industry spooked—for good reason.

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

There is no reason for this to happen. And, it would be tragic. Why are the U.S. and the U.K. trying to destroy higher education, healthcare systems, economies, and major journalistic institutions at the same time? Have the governing classes in both countries been affected by the same disease?

Incredible piece! Journalists, esp. those who cover courts and/or terrorism, read this about covering the "Rocket Docket," the Eastern District of Virginia, aka the fastest federal court in America. Normally, I wouldn't quote this much of a story. But there's so much more!

RIP & thanks for all the music, Mr. Jerry Kennedy who passed away this week. He's the opening guitar you hear on Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the lead on Wynette's "Stand By Your Man," he's on Blonde on Blonde album, Tom T. Hall's producer. One of the greats, without a doubt.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

This is true not just on the general point that he's an idiot but also specifically Starship is never going to work as advertised. The tyranny of the rocket equation doesn't let it pencil out, a launcher heavy enough to be 100% reusable is then too heavy to carry a useful payload.
