In yesterday's #6 buzzsawmonkey said: I know that I suggested "PostFacto" as an alternate name for "X" the other day, but it occurred to me...why not rename it "Malcolm?"

To be honest? I don't want any such nicknames to be connected to radicals,  unless it is done so in an ironic way. Which may be appropriate here, given the leftist censorship the government coordinated with Twitter. But then, that was the previous management.

PJMedia is off base on a post about Harvard, I think. The university put Provost Alan Garber in as president after Claudine Gay stepped down, and PJMedia claims this was a token move. 

I disagree. It is exceeding common for the provost to be the one to step in after a president is removed; I've seen multiple universities do this. PJMedia should apologize to Dr. Garber immediately. Garber could have done more to denounce the antisemitism seen on campus, and should have; but Rabbi Barclay's article isn't justified to dismiss Garber's promotion to interim.

The former Republican candidate for Illinois governor, Darren Bailey, is publicly and loudly proclaiming he will not comply with the state's new law about unregistered "assault weapons" and "large capacity" magazines."

I read about this story yesterday: Crypto hedge fund CEO may not exist; probe finds no record of identity

It's hysterical if true.

Maybe. Personally, I put this down to human lying. No need to ask a computer to do it.

I think this gag has me realizing, more then ever before, just how little we in the US have taught our children about important life skills, like not dying.

Of course it won't be there, because he was oppressed, doncha know, and has to be lionized in death.
