The timeless beauty of former USAF Upper Heyford is at risk from another housing estate. A. N. Wibbler is on hand with a dyspeptic quote that makes no sense at all, while developers promise hedges, as they do
The row at Rousham: who is protecting the English landscape?
Gardeners are decrying the potential destruction of historic landscapes if planning for a housing development — and a new town — is approved. Could it be more than nimbyism?

I'm being told this does not involve pigs and the internet, but does involve Shakespeare. Some missed opportunities, perhaps.
without research, I am assuming that Hamnet involves (1) the internet & (2) Shakespeare &/or pigs.

The strong libertarian position on this would have been completely baffling to virtually any of the political thinkers on whom the founders drew (to be fair, they would have found many of the functions the modern state has accumulated likewise baffling, but the point stands).
There’s been plenty of debate over where to draw that line but to act like it’s not there or that it hasn’t been treated as a power to provide public goods of some sort since the founding of the republic just makes you look stupid.

I don’t understand why libertarians play dumb about the fact that the very first enumerated power of Congress is to lay and collect taxes to provide for the general welfare.

Some Democrats urge the military to 'refuse illegal orders.' What if the IRS, ATF, and EPA did the same?
Much of what the federal government does on a daily basis already flouts constitutional protections and offends human decency.

Airbus A320s are all grounded due to an issue where a plane suddenly descended from 35,000 to 10,000 feet due to a computer error caused by solar radiation memory corruption. The company thinks they can fix it with a software update.

You criticizing them for living online just shows you don’t grasp information warfare. They’re out there acting as a digital warrior, running constant recon, pushing counter-signal ops, holding the line while you pretend scrolling is a character flaw.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the broader point, but it does seem very plausible that Marjorie Taylor Greene may have miscalculated, if she has further ambitions in the Republican Party.
Why give in now, Northwestern?
Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people recognized that Trump isn't the future, but Northwestern's leaders apparently think it's the time to get on board.
Either they think this is forever, or they have no principles and concluded there's no downside to collaborating now.

Incidental aside—one of my closest law school friends is the daughter of a retired US Navy admiral. Her family lived near the law school, so I met him a few times, and while he knew his way around a nuclear reactor, he was totally Fox-News-brained and thought climate change was a hoax

Speaking of horses, I forget the exact quotation or the source, but I remember being very amused by a line in a book I was reading about the Industrial Revolution last year that described horses as a “key technology through the nineteenth century.“
