The 7-day average of daily U.S. deaths from COVID-19 was 712 on October 17; 849 on September 17; 1,349 on August 18 (Aug 17th was an anomaly); and 901 on July 17. If you fail to see a soaring death toll

Something that will affect the Chinese American community tomorrow is the WeChat ban, which I've been thinking about in recent days. When I first heard about it, I kind of shrugged. While obviously

I know that nobody cares about truth and all that matters is your feelings, but it still bothers me when people use the term "civil disobedience" to describe acts that are not civil disobedience.

Actually, it’s not for Q idiots, because they’re too broken to think. Incapable of learning or changing. This is for everyone else, I suppose. Pedophilia and sex trafficking are major global (and American)

In honor of the late Chadwick Boseman, I think it would be fitting to take a look at the moral and political economy issues raised by the "Black Panther" movie. I should note that none of the

Information is still incomplete. There are probably bits here that will piss off people on both sides. :-/ First, I've seen no evidence that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist. He was clearly a police

Unrelated to any current events, here are some interesting bits from genealogy and genetics. If you trace back through your mitochondrial DNA (inherited almost exclusively from your mother), you'll eventually

Thought for the day... Dr. Scott Jensen, an honest and courageous physician for the past 35 years and a Minnesota state senator, called out corrupt CDC-directed misattribution of deaths to Covid and he

I have time today to comment on either this or the Israel-UAE deal, but not both. So I will pick this, because I'm a bit more likely to say something that hasn't already been covered by others: This is

Are police the sole problem? I don't think that it can be stressed enough that there are proximate and root causes. When it comes to unjustified police killings, usually, the police aren't the root cause.

For a long time we believed that sophisticated civic organization was kickstarted by Ancient Egyptian, Minoan, Sumerian, Indus Valley, and Ancient Chinese civilizations around 4000-5000 years back. However,

This is the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Three days ago was the anniversary of Hiroshima. I have two unpopular opinions about the bombings, one ethical and the other historical.

To believe that racism or genetics explains all the disparities of outcomes (whether health, income, incarceration rates) for minorities, or that sexism explains why women earn less than men, is akin to

It's pretty much impossible for me to support military intervention against China; but, there's a reason why I've had a few "happy dreams" about blowing up a few government buildings in Beijing.

This post will be of interest to absolutely no one, except on the off chance you're curious about how we know that "5G radio waves" don't cause cancer, COVID-19, extra-limbs, or spider-like super

When we woke up this morning, the only ones who knew what had happened to Garrett Foster were those who were there. The rest of us only knew that he was shot and killed at a BLM protest. That he was a

Dozens of government officials and media talking heads use phrasing like “we must”, ”if we don’t”, ”people who do/don’t” to precede other phrases like “lock down”, ”wear a mask”, ”restrict xxxx activity,”

I have to say something extremely uncomfortable. I fully support the arrest and prosecution of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia. The video we saw contradicts a key detail of their statement and

I want these people who are calling for renewed economic shutdowns to get serious about the target they're setting for re-opening, how long they think it will take to reach that, and how long they think

One thing I learned recently about the Apollo program is that it wasn’t just about proving that America was superior to the USSR’s Communist system. It was more specifically about proving that America
