FMJRA 2.0: On An Even Keel

— compiled by Wombat-socho If you’re the sort of person who prays for others when they’re facing the Reflector Heads, please do so for Fritz, who blogs at A View For The Beach. He has been rendered humorless.  We started the week going 2-1 against Pete’s Brewers and ended it losing two out of three […]

Scandal-Plagued Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller Dies in Disagrace at Age 81

De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always wise policy, which Democrats never follow whenever one of their enemies die. Democrats hate without apology, but become indignant if Republicans return the favor. Readers might notice that the headline of this obituary is perhaps not a model of journalistic objectivity, but that’s the whole point. You see, […]

D.E.I. + A.I. = O.M.G.!

One of my sons is a lawyer, and the youngest is currently a first-year law student, and the stories they tell me about the use of AI (artificial intelligence) by both law students and practicing lawyers are disturbing.

Gavin Newsom’s ‘Cougar Crossing’ Is the Perfect Symbol of Californication

Behind schedule and over budget and probably doomed to failure — this is a succinct summary of what is officially known as the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, but is now being sarcastically called the “California Cougar Crossing,” a monumental waste of California taxpayers’ money. In January, World Animal News published a happy tale: A groundbreaking […]
