The Other McCain starts us off with ‘I Am Trying, and Admittedly Failing, to Understand How This Makes Sense’
Young people may not be able to imagine this, but there was a time when professors and researchers in such fields as sociology sought to understand and explain why things are the way they are, rather than beginning with the premise that the existing social order must be viewed as a state of systemic oppression.
Joel at The Ultimate Answer to Kings - That’s the way for neighbors to do Christmas.
The other day I got an extremely rare personal visit to the Secret Lair. My longtime neighbors and friends S&L came putting up in their ATV, having texted ahead first so as to give me time to a)be home, and b)have home, dog and self presentable.
Professor David Yamane at Gun Culture 2.0 - Emptying My Notebooks: The Could-Have-Been Titles for GUN CURIOUS
I brainstormed many possible titles/subtitles for what was ultimately published as Gun Curious: A Liberal Professor’s Surprising Journey Inside America’s Gun Culture. I recently found a couple of those lists. I’m happy with the title we chose, but below are some other contenders we considered.
Moonbattery - Jasmine Crockett & Co. Cling to Identity Politics
Cultural Marxist browbeating is no longer working. Only the woke and weak-minded (but I repeat myself) were willing to vote for someone as awful as Kamala Harris on the grounds that they had to because she is a Woman of Color.
Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony - Daily News Stuff 26 December 2024: Postprandial Edition
A record 18,000 games were published on Steam in 2024 - around fifty per day. (Tom's Hardware)
Of course most of these are small indie titles, but given that most of the tentpole AAA titles in 2024 were catastrophic failures - cough Concord cough - that's not only entirely understandable but a good thing.
Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog - ASML Exits, China Screwed
To summarize: Western nations have an advanced, highly interconnected semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem that China doesn’t have the technical expertise to replicate. In particular, China has nothing like ASML’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines (AKA a “stepper”) necessary to build the most advanced chips with the smallest feature geometries.
Pirate's Cove - On The Return To The Office For Federal Employees Debate, It’s Not About You The Taxpayer
Obviously, the rank and file of the Washington Post are all for working from home (and the beach, the mountains, in between Call Of Duty sessions and binge watching their shows), especially since those who run the WP have told employees they need to work from work. There is something interesting in this article
Standing By - Reason 2,574 Why We Need Guns
The article I am highlighting today was published on the 24th of December, but I did not have time then to include it for gentle readers meditations. The article in question is by D. Parker at the American Thinker entitled Are they going to say the horrific murder of the woman on the subway was caused by "fire" violence? Actually, they aren't saying much of anything because this doesn't fit into any of their "narratives." First, it was committed by an illegal alien who has been living here rent free and squandering some $30 a day on drugs. Second, it didn't involve a firearm.
