Melbourne is not having this latest lockdown. I don’t support needless violence, but a real protest and nonviolent civil disobedience there has been sadly, and badly, needed. Good to see it.
How I escaped Twitter
The latest protest song from @FiveTimesAugust is beautiful.

It occurs to me that I don’t know, and I have never actually interacted face-to-face with, any of the oddly fascinating people shared by the Twitter @libsoftiktok account.
But then I am a 53-year-old work-at-home Ohioan, so.
If I can’t fully participate in your network from client software I can easily install, which is just one of several software options, on hardware I own, then your network is not really decentralized. #decentralization
Murray Rothbard wanted a “free market in children.” He declared, “Superficially, this sounds monstrous and inhuman. But closer thought will reveal the superior humanism of such a market.” 🤮 Maybe I’m not a libertarian. mises.org/library/children-and-r…
Jim Jordan demands to know whether DHS intends to use third-party contractors to “spy on the social media communications of American citizens” for “extremist” threats.
Get ’em, Jim!
While Feedly still exists, curiously, nobody has bothered to make an Internet-wide blog voting system, doing for the long tail of obscure blogs what Medium does for its digital plantation. Why not?
If you want the fascinating history and theory behind Wikipedia and the participatory Internet more generally, get my book.

Hey @NYCMayor. I’m not a New Yorker, but I’d like to know: what makes you think you have the right to require your subjects, I mean citizens, to inject stuff in their bodies just to engage in commerce? You’ll never live this down.
That perfectly illustrates the imagination of the unthinking leftist: you are “frothing” (rabid, insane) if you object to being forced to submit to the state injecting whatever it likes into your body.
You and the nasty Levant are frothing for the out of touch minority. 80% of BC residents support vaccination mandates.

“Sources say” 10,000 Americans were left behind in Kabul alone, as Afghanistan falls to a regime that would almost certainly exterminate them like so many cockroaches.
At least they haven’t abandoned the airport yet.
Not to be outdone by either socialist San Francisco or Canada, Bill de Blasio has “mandated” proof of vaccination for employees and customers of indoor facilities and businesses.
Splain how this is constitutional.

I’m shaking my head in disbelief. Canada is forcing vaccinations on all their federal workers and those traveling on airplanes or trains. A stammering Trudeau laid down the new law.
The Canadian Human Rights Act, the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Charter of Rights grant other exemptions too, including for reasons of conscience, religion, creed, etc. He’s a tyrant, telling us he will break the law. pic.twitter.com/rKFDoCJRth

No, I do not “accept that pedophilia resides in each of us.”
This perverted woman, Delphine Lecompte, like the pedophiles she defends, deserves be shunned and roundly condemned.
No tolerance whatsoever for pedophiles, period.
