It’s time to cut bait. How the Biden administration is still pushing this nominee is beyond me. The Reload reports: “Black ATF Agent Says Biden Nominee Falsely Accused Him of Cheating on Promotion Assessment.” And the DOJ Inspector General confirms that this accusation happened!

Adumbrations Of Aducanumab… At Astral Codex Ten: “Is the FDA too lax? Do bears go to the bathroom in spotless marble-floored lavatories? Is the Pope an Anabaptist?” It’s a little into the weeds, but it is a wild ride. Read the whole thing.

Time’s up. The “Cyber Ninjas” missed a deadline and Congress isn’t going to be happy.

Houston, we have a problem…

What's amazing is these people were literally just there to offer professional input. It's not like they had any actual say in the decision! But the notion of a monolithic "them" is just so strong in the minds of so many.

The parking lot after a school board meeting last night in Franklin, the wealthiest place in Tennessee. Parents harassed medical professionals who had spoken in favor of masks in schools. “We know who you are. You can leave freely, but we will find you.” https://t.co/SzR0uvMeE7

Here’s the video I tried to tweet earlier but wouldn’t go through. A man was being disruptive during the Williamson County Schools meeting and deputies escorted him out. Dozens of enraged anti-mask parents followed.
