I think "stay away from hate" is a simpler formula.
And beware of people who generalize individual behavior into large groups.
When I first opened Hot Air and saw this headline, my thought was "Boy, Ed has really lost it."
Surprise, this was delightful, and the kind of thing those of us who love this country should encourage every chance we get. Well done, and a great story to cover!

SpaceX appears to be how we crush the Chinese in the space race. Star mind is supposed to be 1million satellites!
Starship Flight 15 is Friday and scheduled to use the tongs on both the ship and the booster.

The solid black line is almost 4% a year for 25 years. And that’s the inflation government ADMITS to.

Just another example of how the "limited edition" tactic works.
Good for him.

Never is there a clearer demonstration of why the Left wants mass illegal immigration followed by amnesty.

Have spoken with many people on the Right in the past week. A recurring theme: must reconstitute the party behind someone who can combine free-market economics, effective culture war, foreign policy realism, and hyper-competent administration. DeSantis frequently mentioned.
He's wrong about one thing - most people dont reason from first principles because they dont know or understand those principles (physics) and have never been taught to reason from them. It's not inherently more difficult than extrapolation from the current state.
A battery cost $600 per kilowatt-hour. The materials it’s made of, according to Elon Musk, cost about $80.
REPORTER: Where does that gap come from?
ELON MUSK: Most people reason by analogy. They say batteries will always be expensive because they’ve always been expensive. That’s pretty dumb.
REPORTER: Why?
ELON MUSK: If you applied that reasoning to anything new, you’d never get to the new thing. You can’t say, “Horses are great, we’re used to them, and there’s no gasoline to buy, so nobody will ever want a car.” And people did say that.
REPORTER: So how should you reason?
ELON MUSK: From first principles, not by analogy. Normally we do something because it’s like something that was done before, or because other people are doing it.
REPORTER: What are first principles?
ELON MUSK: The physics way of looking at the world. You boil things down to the most fundamental truths and reason up from there.
REPORTER: Why doesn’t everyone do that?
ELON MUSK: Because it takes a lot more mental energy.
REPORTER: Can you give an example?
ELON MUSK: Batteries. Historically it’s $600 per kilowatt-hour, and they say it won’t get much better. I ask something else: what is it made of?
REPORTER: And what is it made of?
ELON MUSK: Cobalt, nickel, aluminum, carbon, some polymers for separation, and a sealed can.
REPORTER: And what does that cost?
ELON MUSK: At London Metal Exchange prices it comes to something like $80 per kilowatt-hour.
REPORTER: So that’s almost eight times less. What do you do with that?
ELON MUSK: Come up with clever ways to combine those materials into the shape of a battery cell. And then batteries can be much cheaper than anyone realizes.

It’s not so much that Douthat isn’t trying to gotcha Trump it’s that he’s not doing it to “take a stand” and make it about himself, which is a crucial part of the interview format that’s been almost totally lost… actually interviewing the subject
There is an easy answer.
Get the same equipment. When it happens, blast your favorite rock songs at the same volume back at them.
If they can do it, you can do it. If they don’t like it, they can negotiate volume reduction with you.
In Dearborn, the Muslim call to prayer blares from loudspeakers at dozens of mosques across the city, 5 times a day.
Everyone is forced to hear it, whether they want to or not, from sunrise to sunset.
Coming to the rest of Michigan soon.
