Link. “the entire CrossFit philosophy is essentially based on activities that last longer than 70 seconds, and a few of those bastards are pretty muscular.” Particularly important for Olds.

Link. An evil man.
The Trump recurring donations fraud — we need names.
Link. There were people who did this. People with names. Probably tobacco industry alumni. Society does need to know who they are.
“Watching Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) debate science with Fauci during committee hearings is like watching Albert Einstein being disputed by his dry cleaner.”

The Child on the Train. 2003.
Link. John Scalzi of 2003 reflects on a lost pregnancy. Came up in a recent post. I was ok until the last paragraph; but then I wept. He got the truth of it.
“Most people, I think, believe that it’s a slam dunk,” Harris said of the case against Chauvin. But he said, “the reality of the law and the legal system is, it’s just not.”
Link. 2nd degree requires intent. How do you prove that?
Bidenomics: “domestically focused engine of mass employment and distributed prosperity.”

Link. Well that’s nice. Also, it’s New Brunswick, not BC!!
The panicky M1 MacBook Air known as Crashy: something with fast user switching?

Link. For this and future pandemics: people can’t be trusted to stay home when sick. Denial, stupidity, and nastiness are common. Ventilation, remote work, distancing amd masks work because they are verifiable.
“we should think of China as being more or less the kind of place we used to be, but with better technology.”
Link. We are bad now, but we used to be a lot worse. Noah is arguing against exoticism, not providing comfort.
