- I'm old enough to remember when privacy zealots were content to have Gawker killed off, not realizing--or perhaps not caring--that it was the thin edge of a very dangerous wedge. (This op-ed warning about that was prescient)
- Well... my rageometer was already redlining in 2015 www.latimes.com/opinion/op-e...
- God forbid the Democrats nominate mealy-mouthed Josh Shapiro. He has a way of failing to meet pretty much every moment. He'll get whomped. www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
- And to those who think that it's somehow categorically wrong to refer to a bunch of masked thugs who are acting like nazis, as "nazis" until I suppose until the body count is ... what, 1 million? 2 million?--seriously, piss off with that bullshit.

- Das Freiburger Münster. Just now.
- Supreme Court’s (lawless) ruling killling affirmative action drops black/latino enrollment at highly selective unis, increases it at public flagships. Another reason for good people to direct their philanthropy away from elite private institutions. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...
- All hail Chandler.
- The Department of Homeland Security thinks this 29-year-old named Chandler is "the leader of Antifa" (seriously) www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-ident...
- Freiburg, this morning: memories of a better time.
- The story here is either (a) gotta close down for two years to install the marble seat armrests, or (b) everyone anyone would want to see is canceling. Which could it be?
