Friday Links - 25 August

The Other McCain with probably the funniest story of the week. (Of the day, anyway.)THEY’RE CANCELLING BIG BUTTS?

Great minds think alike, and so when word got out that “Fat Bottomed Girls” is omitted from an updated version of Queen’s Greatest Hits, Ed Driscoll asked if “Sir-Mix-a-Lot [will] be able to escape the PC police?”

Watts Up With That - Bernie Sanders: Confronting Chinese Tyranny is Undermining Climate Cooperation. (What's a little tyranny between friends?)

I never imagined Bernie Sanders would argue the case for throwing human rights under the bus, that he would suggest we should overlook state sponsored forced labor and genocide against an entire ethnic group.

Jews Can Shoot - City of Oakland’s Air Horn Personal Defense Advice is Stung by the Babylon Bee

In other words, “Be a good victim” and arm yourself with a really loud air horn. With bars on the residential doors and windows, it also begs the question of who the police are locking up. It’s obviously not the criminals.

Again from The Other McCain - A Smoking Gun, Next to a Bloody Corpse: Joe Biden Is Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

Now my buddy Matt Margolis at PJMedia is talking about the latest “smoking gun” confirming the quid pro quo of bribes from Burisma being the reason Joe Biden got a Ukraine prosecutor fired. Whenever I see that phrase now, I’m like “smoking gun”? How many more smoking guns do we need?

The Federalist - There Is Something Demented About Biden’s Lies

Though most politicians idealize or romanticize their past, it is unlikely that there has ever been a bigger fabulist in presidential history than Biden. Let’s again recall that this is a person who, during a presidential campaign, felt comfortable appropriating a stranger’s hard-boiled, mine-digging, poetry-reading life in Wales. And Joe didn’t merely steal Neil Kinnock’s words, as reporter Maureen Dowd noted in 1987, he copied the story “with phrases, gestures and lyrical Welsh syntax intact.” One might call that sociopathic behavior.

Tam at A View from the Porch - Space Race News

On the heels of the Russian probe making like a Baikonur lawn dart in the lunar surface, the Indian space program has successfully landed its probe and is ready to go lunar roving.

Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony - Daily News Stuff 23 August 2023: Unbaked Babies Edition

Facebook is one of the few honest actors in AI research right now, and even if they're doing it out of spite - firing open-source torpedoes at rival companies - it's still welcome. I'm not going to shed a tear if decades from now submersibles are taking vacationers to the wreck of OpenAI at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Clayton Cramer - A Case On Which I Worked Won

Columbus wanted its own assault weapons ban and limits of firearms possession by 18-21 year olds.

And my work on this will air condition my garage.

From The Other McCain again - Did Anybody Watch the Debate?

The Network That Fired Tucker Carlson™ hosted a debate Wednesday night between Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and six people who will definitely not get the Republican presidential nomination.

Moonbattery - Transparency Redefined

Transparency now means we can keep no secrets from the government. It was supposed to work the other way around. But now it doesn’t:
