Some governors went out of control, but hey, that's our system. This is a very bad virus with high infectivity and low death rate, especially for children and young adults. Obama claims he left the guidelines. Yes, and I read the guidelines in JAMA and they were followed, but it isn't the job of the president to check the supply line to the hospitals, or to see if they are following them. (They weren't).

VA: Teacher Ejected From Board Meeting For Live Covid Demo

Henrico County Public School District is a Virginia school district that sits right beside Richmond. For the first part of the school year, they have been using distance learning, and finding it just as unsatisfactory as pretty much everyone else. So the board has proposed a phased in return to a four-day week (with Wednesday off for cleaning). Students will have the option of remaining full virtual if they prefer. Like many districts Henrico has done some surveying of its stakeholders, and as in many districts, it hasn't clarified much. 50% of families want to stay on line. About...
Death by a thousand cuts
Unknown, Accidental Deliberations - 12 hours ago
With the choice for many voters in Saskatchewan's election coming down to the question of whether the Saskatchewan Party's claim not to have cuts or fee hikes in the works can be believed, it's worth noting that it hasn't managed to live up to that standard *even within the campaign itself*. Within an election period in which access to home care is a major issue, we've learned that the cost of existing care is being hiked by hundreds of dollars for seniors without money to spare. (And the closest there is to an excuse is the concept that the province is once again trying to ensure...

The Washington Post would like to send in the U.S. military — which it thinks is a simple and obvious solution. That claim is dependent on nobody even thinking of the idea of cutting off the weapons.

Guns for disabled shooters: it's a real problem these days
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago
As regular readers will know, I trained disabled and handicapped shooters for many years. They have unique problems to deal with, and issues of limited mobility that make "regular" firearms and their handling a real challenge. For example, due to limited upper body and/or arm and/or hand strength, many can't handle anything in the way of serious recoil, limiting them to minor calibers. More than a few also have dexterity issues, making revolvers a simpler solution than semi-auto pistols (although reloading either can be a problem for them). I'd given up my training activitie...

A New Revolutionary Alternative For The People Of Venezuela

The Magical Thinking Of Reformism

Reform is best understood as a logic rather than an outcome: an approach to institutional change that sustains existing social, economic, political, and/or legal systems, including but not limited to policing, two-party electoral politics, heteronormativity, criminal justice, and corporate destruction of the natural world. To reform a system is to adjust isolated aspects of its operation in order to protect that system from total collapse, whether by internal or external forces. Such adjustments usually rest on the fundamental assumption that these systems must remain intact... T...

The Worst British Tank of the Second World War
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* The Valiant tank was designed to be heavily armored, but yet light. While it did achieve these two design objectives, everything else about the tank was flawed. During the Second World War, the British Army wanted a tank with very heavy armor, but that kept weight to a minimum. They wanted, in essence, a rolling contradiction. Despite the Valiant’s overall failure, it did feature some useful innovations. Perhaps first and foremost was the Valiant’s front armored glacis. In contrast to most tanks of the era, the Valiant’s hull featured a distinct...
