Tuesday Links - 2 August

The Other McCain is up first with Patrick Mahomes: Victim of Racism?

Because I didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot last night, it’s difficult this morning to feel sorry for the $45-million-a-year quarterback.

And again from the Other McCain - Joe Biden Has COVID — AGAIN!

Double-vaxxed, double-boosted, and COVID-positive.

Legal Insurrection - Lyft Faces Complaint for Covering Abortions But Not Offering Same for Moms Who Carry to Term. Cover actual health care? You can't be serious.

AFL [America First Legal] accused Lyft of “multiple violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978.”

Chicago Boyz - Reslience and Renewal. On Germany and Japan. I would say it also applies to the UK and the US, but...

We’ve often talked here about businesses and other kinds of organizations that missed the turn…that failed to react intelligently to market or technology changes and disappeared (or at least suffered great harm)…or, in the case of military organizations, went down to defeat. Sears failed to take advantage of the excellent fit that the Internet could have offered with their direct mail strengths. The French Army of 1940 was so focused on the lessons of World War I that they failed to understand the tactics that would be used against them in the coming war. None of the traditional US steam locomotive manufacturers became a force in the diesel-electric market. The big integrated steel producers failed to exploit mini-mill technology. And so on.

Meep at STUMP - Public Pension Returns Start to Roll In for FY 2022

The results have not been looking good.

Remember that fiscal year 2022 ends for many (if not most) public pension plans on June 30.

The Federalist - British Veteran Arrested At Home Under UK Censorship Laws After Reposting LGBT Meme That ‘Caused Anxiety’. Western Civilization was nice while it lasted.

British veteran Darren Brady said Hampshire police were “impeding his right to free speech” by tracking him down for reposting a meme featuring the LGBT “pride” flag arranged in the shape of a swastika.

In viral footage of the arrest taken by political activist Laurence Fox who created the meme, officers tell the 51-year-old at his residence in Aldershot that “someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post. That is why you have been arrested.”

OldAFSarge at Chant du Départ - The Great Wave.

The ship we were on was Norwegian Majesty, a "small" cruise ship as such things go, had to be to fit through the Town Cut to get into St. George's Harbor (see below). She was less than 700 feet long. Pretty big, but the sea is bigger.

Once more from The Other McCain - Lena Dunham Is Totally Triggered About Abortion Rights (Even Though She Had a Hysterectomy More Than Four Years Ago)

Nothing is ever private with Lena Dunham. Remember the 2014 memoir in which Lena described molesting her little sister? Remember how she described being raped at Oberlin College by a Republican, except that it never actually happened? Because she inhabits a narcissistic bubble in which her own feelings and experiences (real or imaginary) are the only thing that matter.
