Comedian Louis CK is not joking about why we should open the border
There is a small possibility that Louis C.K. just changed the outcome of the 2024 election. This could be the tipping point. People could wake up and see what the extreme left stands for. Someone might ask, "What do they stand for?" It is about giving away everything you have earned.

A clip of comedian Louis C.K. on the Joe Rogan show has been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) this week in which he goes on and on about how opening up the southern border would be a good thing because Americans shouldn't have such a high standard of living compared to the rest of the world, how poor people in other countries just want what Americans have, and how it's not fair that we have so much. "It shouldn't be so great here," he says. So open the border and let them pour in.
It's possible he's joking, that it's just a comedy bit he's practicing. That's what my friend Inez Stepman thinks. Get liberals to nod along in agreement and then expose the consequences of such an insane idea. You can judge for yourself:
I don't think it comes off as a joke but as an almost perfect distillation of globalist liberalism. Louis C.K. cannot fathom why Americans should have a say about who comes into their country and who does not. He clearly has no real allegiance to his country or countrymen, and is actually embarrassed by their prosperity — and presumably his own as well.
There is nothing special about America, according to this view, and no reason the rest of the world should not enjoy her ill-gotten riches. Opening the border is the least we could do for the cause of justice.
Whether it's a joke or not, the substance of what Louis C.K. articulates is the logical endpoint of leftist ideology. It's what the mainstream left believes — and the Biden administration has been actively working to accomplish at the southern border.

Suit Accusing Burger King of Undersized Whoppers Proceeds

Something is wrong with society when massive and expensive lawsuits happen over the size of a hamburger. I like Burger King. If I were unhappy with the size of their burgers, I could go somewhere else. Let the free market decide.

Eric Weinstein Reacts To Sam Harris On Modern Wisdom
I don't know this person, but he is interesting to listen to. He sounds like a conspiracy theorist but also plausible.

My father used to say that you should never feed a wild animal. I didn't understand at first, but the problem is that many animals can have rabies and not show symptoms. This includes raccoons.
Wild animals are not pets.
Migratory birds only fly south when the food runs out. I noticed that people would feed ducks who then stuck around till winter. This can't be good for the birds.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

This does not represent 98% of whites nor conservatives. Conservatives are the most accepting people I know. Unlike the political left, we don't try to divide people into (arbitrary) categories.

When did the name United States of America originate?
September 9, 1776
On September 9, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted a new name for what had been called the "United Colonies." The moniker United States of America has remained since then as a symbol of freedom and independence.

Doctor Who
I am concerned about the next version of Doctor Who starting around November, which is the 60th anniversary of the show.
They hired a gay actor to play possibly a gay Doctor Who.
The previous versions of Doctor Who had some relationships which clearly identified the character as heterosexual. If they decide to change the character without a good explanation, then it seems to me that this would destroy the character.
They retconned the previous version of Doctor Who in a way that completely rewrote the history of the character. For the most part, the fans aren't happy about the change.
The Doctor Who series was extremely good about 13 years ago, which is why I am still interested in the show, but it went slowly downhill after that.
Best wishes,

Statement on 'Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses' review | Cochrane
Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation.
It would be accurate to say that the review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses, and that the results were inconclusive. Given the limitations in the primary evidence, the review is not able to address the question of whether mask-wearing itself reduces people's risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses.
The review authors are clear on the limitations in the abstract: 'The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.'

I Can't Stop Thinking that People Who Deny Climate Change are Lying
1 second ago
I am not aware of people changing where they are on the climate belief scale. I can't speak for everyone, especially attention-seeking YouTubers.
Of course, human CO2 emissions have caused the atmosphere to warm by about 1 degree Celsius over the last 140 years.
However, this issue is far more complicated than that. Climate Alarmism very much depends upon as of yet unproven positive feedback mechanisms. The solutions to Climate Change are likely more expensive and damaging to our economy than they are worth.
There are many factors that contribute to people's doubt, which is maybe why it would appear that people are shifting positions. Just to name a few: The politicization of science. Poor past predictions. The urban heat island effect. The uncertainty associated with clouds. The large error bars in the models. Temperature data that is estimated based on models. The alteration of past temperature data. Climategate "hiding the decline". One third of the people on the IPCC are members of an environmental lobbying group, which is a conflict of interest. The IPCC refused to hire anyone who did not already believe in catastrophic-man-made warming, which is what they are supposed to evaluate. (You don't do science by starting with the conclusion.) The former head of the IPCC called catastrophic-man-made warming his "religion". (No bias there!) A former IPCC member said that it wasn't about climate but about doing away with free-market capitalism.
Some climate scientists said that they were afraid to speak out against climate alarmism because they would lose funding. There is no 97% consensus. There are many actual climate scientists who think the alarmism is overblown.
We are in a brief interglacial warm period. All of human civilization arose during this brief warm period. We are halfway between the Earth's maximum tilt, which melts glaciers, and its minimal tilt, which allows glaciers to grow. Over the very long term, global cooling will be the problem. What humans have done to the atmosphere is trivial, and we will be running out of most fossil fuels by the year 2100. We might run out of oil reserves in 40 years.
Most climate charts go back to 1880 which was an unusually cold period that killed many people in North America. Cold kills far more people than heat, and the 1-degree increase since 1880 has been an improvement. It would be an unlikely coincidence if we were currently at the optimal temperature for human beings.
