1 ...This, ladies and gentlemen, is karma in all its full, unfettered glory. I follow Free Press on X, and it's always thoughtful and honest even if I don't necessarily agree with it. The CBS staff is already freaking out (and that's not an understatement) so it will be a joy to see who makes their performative exit...or who swallows their pride, shuts up, and keeps coloring.

4 It is interesting to consider the reactor core of the conservative internet in the years directly after 9-11. It sort of like paging through my high school year book. I read LGF, Donald Sensing, Belmont Club, Winds of Change and Samizdata. It is impossible to go back. My hero’s were Bolton and Rumsfeld. I remember when I thought Tulsi Gabbard was my enemy because I thought she would become what AOC is. I may take a trip back to the beginning of Rantburg to visit my old self and our friends.

It’s well worth doing, Super Hose. The conversations are information-dense and so often hilarious — and so often I’d completely forgotten.
