IEEE SPECTRUM: Monkeys type 12 words-per-minute with brain-to-keyboard communication.

The blogosphere hasn't created any Shakespeare either.

(I'm waiting for someone to suggest saving the monkeys and using bloggers instead....)

AND YOU THOUGHT TRUMP IS A MISOGYNIST: Liberals have nothing but contempt for women.

HILLARY: clothing for the emasculated man.

Ought to be a big seller for the Pajama Boy brigade....

‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’ finds a new target - everyone.

TROLL MASTER: University of Michigan student successfully changes preferred pronoun to 'His Majesty' on class roster.

Mock them. Relentlessly.

TWITTER BRIEFLY SUSPENDED University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) for this tweet:

Reynolds responded:

Sorry, blocking the interstate is dangerous, and trapping people in their cars and surrounding them is a threat. Driving on is self-preservation, especially when we’ve had mobs destroying property and injuring and killing people. But if Twitter doesn’t like me, I’m happy to stop providing them with free content.

Bye, bye, Twitter ... I won't be missing you.

WAR CLOUDS ARE GATHERING. A hard rain is soon going to fall. I doubt that I'll be around when this next war happens, but my children and grandchildren will, which is not comforting....

U.S. ACADEMIC: Kill unwanted stray cats and keep the rest indoors. Personally, I'd rather let the environmentalists/social justice warriors starve in the cold and dark and confine their enablers to locked rooms in the ivied halls. My cats are far less destructive to the environment than they.

IN THE UNITED STATES, which are the most heavily armed?

Wyoming is the clear winner by a landslide, but look who's second: Washington, D.C., the 'home state' of our ruling elite. If that doesn't scare the pants off you, you're too damned stupid to be allowed anywhere near a voting booth.

BUT, BUT ... voter fraud is a myth.

FIXED: Successes that aren't obvious.

BLUE ORIGIN'S rocket test went better than thought possible:

Blue Origin just successfully completed its first in-flight escape test, during which the empty crew capsule was able to make an emergency separation from the booster just seconds after takeoff. It's a maneuver that could save lives if it happens on a real flight. But Blue Origin stumbled upon some extra success: It landed the booster too.

The linked video has the entire test flight. It's long - over an hour. Booster liftoff is at 51:00; escape capsule ignition at 52:00. The capsule drogue chutes deploy at 52:30 and main chute deployment occurs at 53:30. Capsule landing is at about 54:00. The launch vehicle itself continued on its planned trajectory, reaching apogee at 55:00, and made a succesful landing at 58:30.

A magnificent achievement.

THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA SAFETY NANNIES are hyperventilating (as usual) about Hurricane Matthew this morning. For some perspective, consider these numbers:

Hurricane Katrina killed < 2,000 people in 2005;

Traffic accidents kill ~ 30,000 annually;

Homicides take ~ 16,000 lives annually; and

Suicides account for ~ 32,000 lives annually.

When you watch your 'hurricane nannies' on television, remember it's not about keeping you safe; it's about keeping them in control.

IF ONLY...

We can hope.

OBAMACARE ARCHITECT EZEKIEL EMANUEL: If you like your doctor, you can [pay more to] keep your doctor.

I did, and my health 'insurance' premiums still went up....

GOOD NEWS! Leo DiCaprio has disqualified himself from ever holding public office.

TAXIN’ TIM KAINE pushed to raise taxes on the poor.

I lived in Virginia when Kaine was Lt. Governor and then Governor. He was - and is - a bozo. Luckily for Virginians, he was an incompetent bozo.

THOMAS SOWELL: A brilliant idea to pierce the 'Ivy Curtain'.

YOU CAN THANK OBAMA FOR THAT: Our corner of the Milky Way might be bigger than previously thought.
