I sincerely doubt the world is ready for a complicated waterless toilet that has to be professionally serviced every six months. Bill and Melinda Gates disagree.

Thank you, New Yorker, for being realistic enough to recognize the hand of ISIS at Ohio State.

Will it really be “Bye Bye, Obamacare” followed by something much closer to market-based insurance? We can hope. Tom Price is one of only two Trump picks so far that don’t just seem like authoritarian business as usual.

Everything Trump says is nutty, except it wasn’t nutty when Hillary said it. (Except in this case it’s nutty — and dangerous — when either of them say it and my take on the issue is “ditto,ASM & Borepatch.”)

This black guy explains why whites would inevitably win a race war. Even if you can’t understand a word he utters (and I can’t), the visual message is plenty clear. 🙂

On that OSU “active shooter,” here’s Joel’s take (preach it, Bruthah). And here — please keep your barf bag handy — is what purports to be the opinion of the university’s diversity officer.

Well, here’s a big suprise. The (former) records supervisor for the Albuquerque cops has filed an affidavit stating that the notoriously violent and corrupt police department routinely altered or deleted videos of them shooting people.

Kit Perez on the laziness of digital self-surveillance by freedomistas.

They haven’t reached wheelbarrow stage yet, but Venezuelans now can’t carry their inflated currency in ordinary wallets.

A look inside the “doomsday vault” that backs up all the world’s other seed-storage systems.

Lone Ranger arrested in California! (Humor. I think.)

But you never know. British government censors charming, light-hearted ad. For the children, of course.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today I am grateful …

For the Commentariat, all my blog readers, and everyone determined to live free;

For Her Royal Highness Princess Ava Prettypaws, ACD, BC, even though she is an awful attention seeker who intrudes on my hermitude;

For the nearly 15 years each that I had with heartdogs Robbie and Jasmine;

That Hillary Clinton isn’t about to become president of the U.S.;

How dangerous is the alt-right to American Jews?

Over at The Zelman Partisans I speculate on that question.

The great Glenn Greenwald hands their asses to the media stars who attended that “secret” meeting with Trump on Monday then blabbed about how hurt they were by his attitude.

Borepatch on the blindness of the educated class. But really on culture. Great read. BTW, @Borepatch is now on Gab.ai.

And once again Gottlieb’s denatured JPFO (and Bearing Arms) comes out in favor of anti-gun laws.

OMG. Someone’s planning a flying selfie camera. None of us will be safe from Other People’s Idiocy. (H/T MJR)

True, Glenn Greenwald. And very well observed. Now, if the R-party had actually have done anything about all its noble self-criticism …

Sigh. We’d probably still end up with a CIA director who wants Edward Snowden dead and an AG who thinks anti-gun Project Exile is the bee’s knees.

A Friday ramble

Happy Friday, everyone. Here, for your perusal are a few nice finds and random thoughts. —– I found the above image via Gab.ai, which is now having an influx of libertarians, anarchists, and pro-gunners following the infamous Twitter purge. —– And here’s a polar bear patting a sled dog. This isn’t the first polar-bear-and-dog buddy image on the ‘Net. But it may be the most lovable. —– Seems everybody’s got a hopeful agenda for Donald Trump, who remains (despite media certainty that he’s Adolf Hitler reborn) quite the blank slate. Some of those hopeful agendas are worth getting behind. But…

Did anybody here think the MSM really meant all those editorials about how they were going to be more politically unbiased from now on? Here’s USA Today defining the entire alt-right movement as “espousing white nationalism.” And here’s Alan Dershowitz having to point out that Steve Bannon is no anti-Semite. I’m not fond of either the alt-right or Bannon. But get real, media. Get real. Your life depends on it.

And they ask — they seriously ask! — “Will America Now Have a Pravda?” No, you willfully blind jackasses: America has had a Pravda and an Izvestia for many years now.
