Murray is one of the conservative profs who were "even-handed" & "tolerant" & hired, not just conservatives & other tolerant scholars, but leftists who would be happy to turn around & fire people like him, while his leftists colleagues were hiring just more dogmatic leftists.

I always found it interesting how a revolution is itself anti-authority, but when the revolution becomes the authority, anti-authority things get branded anti-revolution, ie. anti-anti-authority.
It's a very clever inversion!

Oh I'm totally in favor of refusing to use the word "violence" to refer to anything other than direct infliction of physical harm.
But many others aren't, hence the slogan exists...

Been a minute since we went down 🧵memory lane🧵
In what feels like ancient history, about a week ago left-leaning commentators advanced a conspiracy theory that white supremacists were the cause of violent riots that gripped the country.

Weakening the security of life and property is extremely far from libertarian.

Well no. If you want to understand me you should read my stuff.

The oppression felt by many Iraqis before the US deposed Saddam and GWB uttered that famous quote was also systemic and real, no?
I guess there's the nuance of acknowledging the reality of a problem vs supporting a particular solution....

Outcome-based contracting with multiple competitors is vastly better than cost-plus (especially if sole-sourced), as the former rewards results & latter rewards waste. Outcome contracting should be applied broadly within government. The difference in results will be incredible.

We’re working on new legs. Wider stance & able to auto-level. Important for leaning into wind or landing on rocky & pitted surfaces.

Forward thrusters are to stabilize ship when landing in high winds. If goal is max payload to moon per ship, no heatshield or flaps or big gas thruster packs are needed. No need to bring early ships back. They can serve as part of moon base alpha.
