The tech giants are secretly meeting to protect their platforms against political manipulation collude in a joint electoral strategy.

At least they later apologized, though. They didn’t come and taser her to death. That’s something. Bigger airplanes, smaller seats, weird proposals for change.

A judge knocks the latest Bloombergian nonsense off the Washington state ballot. Our own Comrade X had something to do with this. And the billionaire victim disarmers hoisted themselves on their own petard (i.e. their sheer incompetence).

Georgia cop tasers an 87-year-old grandma who was cutting dandelions. His department defends him, ’cause you know, an old lady with a knife has a “capacity” for attacking a cop, even if she isn’t.

He robbed the bank. Sixty years later he returned there for dinner. (H/T MJR)

Censorship is what happens when powerful people get scared.

Why young men are so drawn to Jordan Peterson — and why culture keepers fear and demonize him.

Artists claiming rights over their “public” art are being ridiculous.

Should gun owners fear the deep state? (For a minute, I thought the NRA had grown some balls; but it was just that they hired Jim Bovard to write this article.)

Big tech’s absolute, screaming hypocrisy on net neutrality and a truly open Internet.

Now that there’s a man and a father. Mom ain’t bad, either.

This doc wants to offer cheap MRIs. His state won’t let him. I’m sure you’ll be terribly surprised to learn a fedlaw is behind the state policy.

America’s most famous farmer talks about the “rogue food” rebellion — small-scale free markets in the face of ever-worse fed controls.

Gender fluidity — or at least the political aspect thereof — has its uses. It could save you guys some money.

Why it’s still okay to call people white trash according to NPR.

Just in case you weren’t already on “a list,” you surely are now, thanks to the TSA’s Quiet Skies program. Bovard has his usual sharp take on gov idiocy.

Pennsylvania is SO twentieth century. They got Defense Distributed to block downloads of 3D-printable gun plans. Lots of verbal hand-wringing. No acknowledgement that VPNs and proxies make physical location irrelevant.

Pity that neither the PA gov nor the Catholic church was so interested in protecting residents against 300 pedophile priests included in an upcoming “nuclear bomb” grand jury report.

We don’t need the future Silicon Valley is selling.
