The view from the Upper West Side.
The SWPL lifestyle typically includes things that normal people do (because that’s what normal people do) like cooking only as a sort of eccentric hobby, like origami or flower arrangement.

Wong and his team set out to “miniaturize,” the process of harvesting atmospheric water using electrospun polymers.
Electrospinning can produce polymers as small as a few tens of nanometers across, which means that a huge surface area can be packed into a really small space. That makes the nanoscale-polymers super-efficient at collecting water, even in arid environments. The device, which could be powered by a lithium-ion battery, would also be able to filter water because the surface of the material would slough off any microbes or bacteria present in the water vapor.
While that may seem complicated, Wong said it’s not much different than how people in the Andes, and Namib beetles collect water — it’s just at a much smaller scale.

Scott Adams calls it out.
Trump critics have taken a page from the Climatistas. They wring their hands over the bad consequences in store for Trump IF the things they assume are crimes actually are crimes, but really aren’t.
Just as the climatistas are basing their OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE predictions on something happening that they never show actually happened (well, we PREDICT that it will happen, and that ought to be good enough for you Dirt People), so the Trumpernickles predict vast criminal penalties for actions that, when Real Lawyers look at them, aren’t crimes at all.
The sky is falling, women and minorities hardest hit, film at eleven, etc. etc. It makes you wonder how these people manage to make it to work in the morning without being carried off by the Vikings that aren’t there.

The New York Times, undeterred by its failure to find any nuggets by digging through Ashley Kavanaugh’s emails as town manager of Chevy Chase, Maryland–“the records were … mundane dispatches about town business, from snow removals to local newsletters”–has now served a request for the records of any 911 calls made from Judge Kavanaugh’s home for the last 12 years.
The New York Times requests digital copies of all policing pertaining to Brett Kavanaugh, a resident of Chevy Chase Section 5. Specifically, we request all policing records, including police reports or calls of service (911 calls or otherwise), pertaining to Brett Kavanaugh, his wife, and their home address.
Somehow, I’m guessing there aren’t any. But when it comes to a Supreme Court nominee, the Times “had to try.” Of course. You remember how hard they tried to dig up dirt on Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, don’t you? Don’t you?

Kimberely Strassel blows the whistle.
Prosecutors can claim all they want that they are applying the law equally, but if they only apply it to half the suspects, justice is not served. Mr. Mueller seems blind to the national need for—the basic expectation of—a thorough look into all parties. That omission is fundamentally undermining any legitimacy in his findings. Lady Justice does not wear a blindfold over only one eye.

If, of course, that’s what you want to do.
Rather than invest much more in homeless shelters or free mental health services or needle exchanges or anything that would require having to deal with smelly, dirty, poor people, the city has set aside an additional $2.8m for a “Hot Spots” crew to spray down the areas where these people live, an additional $2.3m for street cleaners, another $3.1m for portable toilets and – this is the best part – nearly $1m a year for a so-called “Poop Patrol.”
Creating government jobs for correcting a government-caused problem FDR would be so proud.

The French town of Calais has been no stranger to public disorder in recent years, with recurrent battles between police and migrants or striking ferry workers making headlines across the world.
But now the port town is facing a bizarre new threat, according to its council: an alliance of hunters and farmers seeking to take revenge on vegans bent on turning the largely carnivorous French off meat.
The risk of trouble was so great that the council decided to cancel a vegan festival due to be held in the town centre on September 8.
The move was the latest episode in an ongoing battle between vegan militants and butchers and other providers of meat in the north of France.
It’s usually a bad idea to get into a pissing contest with people who kill things as a hobby.

The Other McCain peeks behind the curtain.
Julia Salazar is not Jewish. Nor is she a working-class immigrant. Her mother is an Italian Catholic from New Jersey and her father, a native of Colombia, is a commercial pilot who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1982. Julia grew up in a middle-class home in Florida and graduated from Columbia University, an elite Ivy League school where the annual cost of attendance is $80,826 including room and board.
All of this information, available from public records, was discovered by Tablet magazine for a fascinating story about how Julia Salazar invented a fictional identity as a working-class Jewish immigrant in order to run for a state senate seat in New York, as a progressive Democrat.
It’s amazing how many Fashionable Minority Victims went to Ivy League (or equivalent) schools. This chick went to Columbia; Alexandria Occasional-Cortex went to Harvard Law.

I have an idea for a legally protected class called Registered Antisocial, with an insignia of some sort like an armband or a lapel pin or a T-shirt.
For those who join the class, if anyone speaks to them (except for police or fireman or such like) without having been spoken to first, the class member is entitled to punch them in the face without legal liability.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.

As I wrote here, the Left is outsourcing censorship of the internet to the tech companies of Silicon Valley, all of which are happily–if you are a leftist–run by liberals. What the government can’t do, on account of the First Amendment, private companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube can do with impunity. Increasingly, conservatives are persona non grata on social media platforms.

Steve Sailer points out that California is crazier than you can imagine.
I doubt that the nice Jewish mayor lady with the two kids and the pan-Catholic hubby Salvatore Fahey is really a racial Leninist, but she’s running for re-election against an Angry Black Woman. So she apparently feels the need to say stuff that is fairly nuts. But it’s not like anybody who matters is going to call her out on it, are they?

That’s because minority students are more likely to be violent criminals. Check the statistics.
My wife has a friend who taught in the Dallas Public Schools until the day that a ‘minority student’ slugged her in the back of the head hard enough to make a doctor visit necessary. Nothing was ever done to the student, and nothing was ever done to ensure that such a thing couldn’t happen again. Needless to say, the Dallas Public Schools lost a good teacher that day.

New York City will be spending $2.06 billion on its Department of Homeless Services. There are 61,421 homeless people in the city which is spending $33,539 per homeless person.
That’s only a little short of the starting salary of an FDNY firefighter at $39,000.
Well, now, you have to realize that that amount includes government workers i.e. Union members i.e. Democrat voters who administer the program.

The Senate was designed to represent the interests of the States as States, semi-sovereign political entities, from the Federal government. The Civil War decided, by force of arms, that the States had no rights against the Federal government, so the 17th Amendment was really only the last nail in the coffin. It was, of course, touted as a way of ‘correcting’ the ‘undemocratic’ provisions of the original Constitution. Any changes to the election of Senators or to the makeup of the Senate will, of course, be founded on the notion that States having equal representation in the Senate no matter their size or population is a violation of the ‘one man one vote’ rule now in force since the passage of the 14th Amendment.
