“The world’s first major private geoengineering start-up must have known it’d have skeptics. The basic premise — dimming the sun to artificially cool the planet — has been called reckless by scientists and climate advocates; military analysts have said it has real security risks. (Don’t even get conspiracy theorists started.) Still, Stardust Solutions, an American-Israeli company planning to build a solar-reflecting system in the next few years, has enough fans that it raised $60 million in 2025. Now it’s trying to bring around the public and ease concerns over a technology for which its founders would prefer there wasn’t any conceivable global need.” (04/02/26)

“Brussels has accused TikTok of adopting an addictive design and is demanding changes, extending the Digital Services Act (DSA) from a content regulator to the design of platforms themselves. Motivations aside, such a move would deepen the micromanagement of Europeans’ digital lives, while such regulatory reach increasingly imposes standards that end up shaping technology worldwide. For years, the European Union (EU) has been engaged in a battle against large technology companies. Through regulations such as the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Brussels has created a complex, bureaucratic, and punitive regulatory environment that makes it difficult for truly competitive European tech companies to emerge and grow.” (04/02/26)

“In a non-elected dictatorship, the dictator doesn’t need to secure anyone’s consent to initiate a war. He simply initiates it on his own by ordering his military to attack another country. It’s possible, of course, to have a dictatorship within a democratic form of government. Dictatorship depends on the extent of power wielded by the ruler, not by how he got to be ruler. Thus, a democratically elected ruler can end up wielding and exercising the same types of omnipotent, totalitarian powers as an unelected dictator who has simply taken power by force. In a democracy, however, a ruler must seduce the citizenry into supporting the war, especially since war inevitably involves the destruction of people’s own freedom at the hands of their own government.” (04/02/26)

“The desire for quiet women — really for silent women — in every public forum is neither about adherence to Biblical truth nor the revelation of natural law.” (04/02/26)

“Nah, it’s just Democrats who think that, because I won’t vote for their proposed constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to redraw my state’s congressional districts. The official question on the April 21 ballot reads: ‘Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?’ What, exactly, is ‘fair’ about this amendment?” (04/02/26)

“First off, I’m writing this before President Donald Trump speaks to the nation tonight, where I expect him to declare victory and announce something about when we’ll be done in Iran. Good. That doesn’t change my opinion about what comes next, so the submission deadline does not negate what follows. The Iranian regime wants to die; help them with that. Whatever shell of a government is left is launching rockets randomly at its neighbors, which indicates they’d rather fight until they’re dead than reconstitute itself into something that isn’t threatening to the rest of the world, so we should facilitate that end. How do we do that? Well, we’ve weakened them to the point that the people of Iran could rise and rip them apart – pull a Mussolini and string up their oppressors.” (04/02/26)
