“Mr. Trump abruptly installed Mr. Miller as acting defense secretary this week — making him, at least on paper, Mr. Pompeo’s equal for the administration’s last two months.”
Link. Ooh, that must sting. Poor Pompeo.
Whacko idea of PA GOP picking electors is even more whacked than you think.
Link. Don’t give it much thought.
Is the Coup Happening?
Link. A long post by Dr Gelwan’s standards. He marshals the evidence. TLDR – maybe it is underway, but it seems farcical and incompetent. Trump’s saving grace.
“Because I’m a mammal,” the girlfriend replied, which only pissed Musk off even more.”
Link. Women who date billionaires are far above my station, but were I young and single I might ask.
“more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded”
Link. In 20 years every atom on earth will be part of Google Photo storage. Turns out “free” doesn’t scale. (Remember when free gmail storage cap increases routinely?)
How I think about the Trump voter and America.
Link. I don’t blame the White Left Behind. I don’t much blame the religious fundamentalist. I cannot be a friend to the elite who vote Trump.
Egypt: a military-authoritarian state.
Link. Democracy is a huge challenge.
Don’t stay at “Sea View resort on the island of Koh Chang”
Link. Thailand’s speech laws are worthy of North Korea.

Link. I had wondered. Did Trump know?
“bamlanivimab, should be administered as soon as possible after a positive coronavirus test, and within 10 days of developing symptoms”
Link. Reserve for highest risk patients — obese males with lung disease over 70 or adults with Downs syndrome.
“death rate among all patients with Covid-19 was 0.6 percent. By contrast, 1.22 percent of those with developmental disorders and Covid-19 died, as did 3.37 percent of those with intellectual disabilities.”
Link. This study didn’t call out Downs separately.
QAnon Struggles
Link. “Ron Watkins, a 8kun administrator who some believed was Q himself, announced on Election Day that he was stepping down from the site”. No more posts.
Turkish-German immigrant billionaire married COVID vaccine inventors.
Link. “The two billionaires live with their teenage daughter in a modest apartment near their office. They ride bicycles to work. They do not own a car.”
“Restaurants were by far the riskiest places, about four times riskier than gyms and coffee shops, followed by hotels”
Link. Limiting capacity dramatically reduces risks.
