Silicon Valley et Hamas delenda sunt.

I picked a bad decade to give up smoking and drinking

You would think that after a year or so of lugging my Surface tablet around the continent, including too many runs to Vegas to remember without the use of my phone’s calendar, that I’d have a checklist of stuff I’m going to need while on the road: syringes for insulin, magazines for my pistol…and necessary cables for the Surface. Which is all by way of admitting that this week’s linkagery was derailed by the fact that I absent-mindedly left a 4″ USB-B/USB-C cable sitting on my desk at home when I headed down to Las Vegas this week for an NSSAB meeting, which is why I’m scrambling to get caught up tonight and tomorrow. Probably not going to be able to link everything that deserves attention, but at least I’ll get all the Substackery included and most of the other important stuff. As always, I recommend that you follow the links to the home pages of the various and sundry blogs, because it’s just not possible to link to everything, especially for blogs like Behind the Black, Legal Insurrection, and Power Line who put out more content than any five linkmonglers could cover.

Speaking of the Nevada Security Site Advisory Board, we’re going to be closing up shop at the end of fiscal year 2027 since the environmental management & remediation that we’re providing oversight for is almost done, a year ahead of schedule. I’m going to miss being on the NSSAB; it’s been very educational in quite a few ways, and while the drive to and from Las Vegas is exhausting at my age (I’ll be 67 next month) it is nice to have the Department of Energy reimburse me for mileage, a couple nights in a decent hotel, and per diem. Guess I’ll just have to write and sell more fiction to make up for it.
