Rick Wilson is spot in. Retailers should have a policy of telling buyers how much of the price of their purchases is due to tariffs.

It is important to understand that claims that the dire wolf has been brought back from extinction are incorrect. The created animals are more gray wolf than dire wolf.

Strongly recommend “zero day”. Insightful commentary on the current state of the country.

I am a big fan of the HEB supermarket chain. My one critique is it’s cloning of other people’s products. While I don’t consider it legal intellectual property theft, it is certainly ethically IPT.

The Us history exam in Texas does not cover 1789 to 1877. 1877 is the end of reconstruction. This is the only statewide exam for Texas K-12 students. By skipping 1789 to 1877, Texas skips the trail of tears, slavery, the civil war, and the westward expansion into indigenous lands.

I think it is interesting to consider what will happen if fusion is achieved. Will the company share its intellectual property? Will its host nation allow it to do so? Will those with huge investments in fossil fuels run lobbying and PR campaigns against the adoption of fusion generation?

Part of me is excited with the resurrection of creatures such as the dodo and the thylacine, but part of me worries that we will view extinctions less seriously if we think we can just bring species back.

One by one the MSMs and the major social media moguls are displaying a sad lack of a moral North. The Acosta nonsense is just another example. So is the new Wapo mission statement. Time for all of us to exercise our freedom of speech and leave them.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a place in the world for anthologies of short fiction stories, but if I am paying for a newspaper, I want a newspaper!
