A Jan. 6 conspiracy theory that hasn’t been disproven (Press Watch)
Said conspiracy is that the authorities did not take the threat of

making the decisions supported the idea of insurrection, or that they
had been ordered to sit on their hands by the Trump White House. It pretty clearly happened.
Experimental antibiotic kills deadly superbug, opens whole new class of drugs (Ars Technica) Since this would be a cure, and not a lifelong treatment, if this gets patent exclusivity, I would expect it to be over $10,000.00 a dose, because there is little profit in curing things.

This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.
It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy.
A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
