Mongolian Brief-toed Lark, Sühbaatar, Mongolia. I picked this lark for the title, however what a virtuoso!
Politics
Politics
“However what’s authorities itself, however the biggest of all reflections on human nature?” –James Madison, Federalist 51
“That they had discovered nothing, and forgotten nothing.” –Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord
“When the going will get bizarre, the bizarre flip professional.” –Hunter Thompson
Capitol Seizure
“Cheney says Jan. 6 panel will maintain extra hearings in September” [The Hill]. Cheney: “In the middle of these hearings now we have acquired new proof, and new witnesses have bravely stepped ahead. Efforts to litigate and overcome immunity and government privilege claims have been profitable, and people proceed. Doorways have opened, new subpoenas have been issued, and the dam has begun to interrupt.” • Nicely, I used to be uninterested in “the partitions are closing in” anyhow. So I’m hopeful the Committee can have a idea of the case in September, even when that’s uncomfortably near the midterms.
And talking of chopping down Presidential timber:
here is video of Hawley working to evacuate the Capitol after he egged on insurrectionists along with his notorious fist pump pic.twitter.com/aGg64ECFO1

Hawley working — the most effective a part of the video is the place they lovingly sluggish it down, so you may see Hawley working twice — has nothing to do with any idea of the case the Committee is attempting to place collectively, if certainly it’s doing so. It’s only a piece of oppo, dropped from Democrat strategists to choose up. I’ve no subject withi making enjoyable of Hawley, however a severe Congressional inquiry isn’t the place for it. (I believe, on reflection, McCarthy was tactically proper to verify solely By no means Trumpers have been on the Commitee, although Trump was ticked at him for it; there’s now no one to forestall the Democrats from over-reaching themselves, as they did right here.)
“Is the Secret Service’s Declare About Erased Textual content Messages Believable? (Up to date)” [Zero Day]. “Efforts by a congressional committee to research the January 6 rebellion hit a roadblock final week when it got here to gentle that textual content messages the committee sought from the telephones of Secret Service brokers could have been completely deleted final yr as a part of a scheduled gadget migration…. To search out out if messages erased in a manufacturing unit reset are misplaced for good, and whether or not the company was following greatest practices when it instructed brokers to again up telephones on their very own earlier than the reset, I spoke with Heather Mahalik, senior director of digital intelligence at Cellebrite, and Robert Osgood, a 26-year veteran of the FBI who labored for the bureau as a digital forensics examiner and is presently director of the forensics and telecommunications program at George Mason College. … Each Osgood and Mahalik mentioned that if the telephones underwent a manufacturing unit reset, then the messages will nonetheless be on the cellphone if the information has not been overwritten by different knowledge because the reset. However they mentioned the messages wouldn’t be readable because of the means manufacturing unit resets work, and subsequently would primarily be unrecoverable…. To stick to guidelines that require federal companies to retain authorities information, the Secret Service ought to have an automatic assortment system in place to backup issues like textual content messages regularly. Sadly, it doesn’t seem the company had such a instrument…. It must be famous, although, that having an automatic assortment instrument doesn’t assure knowledge is backed up correctly. In 2018 when officers sought to acquire textual content messages from the telephones of FBI officers Lisa Web page and Peter Strzok — a former FBI legal professional and agent, respectively — they found that the gathering instrument failed to gather knowledge from about 10 % of FBI units. Notably, though the FBI had such a set instrument in place on the time, its father or mother group — the Division of Justice — didn’t.”
“Watchdog launches felony probe over lacking Secret Service messages” [WaPo]. “The inspector common’s workplace despatched the letter to the Secret Service late Wednesday. The workplace instructed the Secret Service to stop its forensic assessment of texts and anything that might be construed as interfering in a felony investigation. The Secret Service then notified the Jan. 6 committee that it may not attempt to present them with paperwork conscious of their subpoena or examine methods to recuperate lacking texts. The letter from the inspector common’s workplace marked every week of escalating exchanges between the Workplace of the Inspector Normal and the Secret Service over the brokers’ messages.”
“Dramatic testimony: Pence safety element feared for lives throughout riot” [The Hill]. • Dramatic!
Biden Administration

For you!
“Senate Democrats roll out long-awaited invoice to legalize marijuana” [The Hill]. “Senate Democrats on Thursday unveiled long-awaited laws to finish the federal prohibition of marijuana, however opposition from Republicans and a few Democrats is predicted to pose a problem to passing the measure…. Schumer mentioned the invoice would legalize hashish by eradicating the drug from the Managed Substances Act and ’empowering states to create their very own hashish legal guidelines as a substitute.’ However the newly launched invoice faces powerful opposition from many Republicans within the evenly cut up Senate, in addition to resistance from some Democrats, threatening its possibilities of passage within the higher chamber.” • Who may have iknown?
2022
* * *
2024
“The Pete Buttigieg Pretend Governing Downside” [Matt Stoller, BIG]. “The truth is that our industrial methods are breaking down as a result of our authorities isn’t constraining the highly effective individuals who run them in line with short-term revenue maximizing targets. That’s why the airways, as an example, are a large number. Regardless of shopper complaints concerning the business being up 300% since 2019, and $5-15B of tickets that went un-refunded throughout Covid, the airways are unchastened. And the reason being that Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has created an atmosphere ripe for dishonest by having his company subject a document low variety of aviation enforcement orders….. The airways cheated folks through the preliminary levels of the pandemic, however so did banks. Financial institution of America, as an example, froze folks’s accounts who have been getting unemployment assist. However not like with airways, there’s a actual regulator on shopper safety for banks – the Shopper Monetary Safety Bureau Director Rohit Chopra. And the CFPB pressured Financial institution of America to refund prospects, and on prime of that fined the financial institution $100 million for “botching the disbursement of unemployment insurance coverage.” One other financial institution regulator adopted the CFPB and issued a separate $125 million high-quality. The distinction between Chopra and Buttigieg is stark…. There are additionally quieter levers helpful to governing. There’s a number of carping about unhealthy judges of late, and for good cause. However enforcers also can form how judges take into consideration the regulation. As an example, the Division of Justice Antitrust Division, run by anti-monopolist Jonathan Kanter, simply issued a ‘assertion of curiosity’ in a non-public lawsuit opposing trucking corporations that agree with each other to not rent truckers from one another. The Antitrust Division not solely enforces the regulation instantly, however shapes the regulation by way of these sorts of briefs. Kanter is attempting to create a authorized prohibition in opposition to these ‘no-hire’ agreements. It isn’t flashy, it isn’t prompt, however it restructures markets.”
Democrats en Déshabillé
I’ve moved my standing remarks on the Democrat Occasion (“the Democrat Occasion is a rotting corpse that may’t bury itself”) to a separate, back-dated publish, to which I’ll periodically add materials, summarizing the addition right here in a “reside” Water Cooler. (Hopefully, some Bourdieu.) It seems that defining the Democrat Occasion is, in actual fact, a tough drawback. I do assume the paragraph that follows is on level all the way in which again to 2016, if not earlier than:
The Democrat Occasion is the political expression of the category energy of PMC, their base (lucidly defined by Thomas Frank in Hear, Liberal!). ; if the Democrat Occasion didn’t exist, the PMC must invent it. . (“PMC” modulo “class expatriates,” in fact.) Second, all of the working components of the Occasion reinforce one another. Go away apart characterizing the relationships between components of the Occasion (ka-ching, however not completely) these components comprise a community — a Flex Internet? An iron octagon? — of funders, distributors, apparatchiks, electeds, NGOs, and miscellaneous mercenaries, with belongings within the press and the intelligence group.
Word, in fact, that the category energy of the PMC each expresses and is proscribed by different lessons; oligarchs and American gentry (see ‘industrial mannequin’ of Ferguson, Jorgensen, and Jie) and the working class spring to thoughts. Suck up, kick down.
* * * “The Tyranny Of Structurelessness” [Jo Freeman]. This traditional from the 70s is price studying in full. I’m submitting it away right here due to passages like this: “Elites aren’t conspiracies. Very seldom does a small group of individuals get collectively and intentionally attempt to take over a bigger group for its personal ends. Elites are nothing extra, and nothing much less, than teams of buddies who additionally occur to take part in the identical political actions. They’d most likely keep their friendship whether or not or not they have been concerned in political actions; they’d most likely be concerned in political actions whether or not or not they maintained their friendships. It’s the coincidence of those two phenomena which creates elites in any group and makes them so tough to interrupt.” • I have a tendency to consider factions (with Madison) as being knitted collectively by curiosity. It’s necessary, I believe, to incorporate friendship (and marriage) to our community evaluation, as Freeman reminds us.
“Massive Tech Lobbyists Butter Up the Dems” [ReadSludge]. “One in all Schumer’s daughters is a registered lobbyist for Amazon in New York and one other daughter works as a product advertising and marketing supervisor at Fb.” • Talking of friendship….
Realignment and Legitimacy
“Half of Individuals anticipate a civil warfare ‘within the subsequent few years’” [The Hill]. ” A examine launched Wednesday discovered that about half of all Individuals anticipate a civil warfare to happen ‘within the subsequent few years.’ Researchers from the College of California-Davis Violence Prevention Analysis Program and the California Violence Analysis Middle reported that fifty.1 % of survey respondents mentioned they a minimum of considerably agree {that a} civil warfare will occur quickly, whereas 47.8 % disagreed. About 14 % mentioned they ‘strongly’ or ‘very strongly’ agree {that a} civil warfare is imminent, whereas 36 % mentioned they considerably agree…. Two-thirds of respondents mentioned there’s a ‘severe menace’ to the nation’s democracy, and virtually 90 % mentioned it’s ‘very’ or ‘extraordinarily’ necessary for the USA to stay a democracy. However greater than 40 % mentioned having a ‘robust chief’ for the nation is extra necessary than having a democracy. Virtually 1 in 5 mentioned they agreed ‘strongly’ or ‘very strongly’ with that assertion.” • Hmm. I’d need to look intently at how the questions are framed in that ballot, given the enterprise the researchers are in.
“What Retains a Crowd from Changing into a Mob?” [Scientific American]. “A traditional idea in psychology prompt that individuals in giant crowds lose their sense of self and change into emotionally impulsive and inclined to the affect of others. As a consequence, the logic went, these in a crowd change into reckless, violent and damaging. Although this characterization of crowd psychology is outdated, it’s been arduous to shake. Many individuals nonetheless assume that teams will invariably interact in dangerous habits. Certainly, worry that crowds will behave badly looms giant in dialogue of reopening society. Our analysis on cultural occasions in Denmark gives a extra nuanced perception into these questions, knowledgeable by a recent understanding of group habits. Crowds are neither inherently smart nor necessa
rily reckless. As an alternative the attitudes and behaviors of individuals inside a crowd replicate the intentions that introduced them collectively within the first place. What folks do in a crowd is basically related to questions of what the group is (its “id”) and what it stands for or represents (its values and norms, for instance).”
#COVID19
Readers will recall that I used to be positive Leana Wen, M.D. would certainly win the coveted “Sociopath of the Day” award, however in the present day she outdid herself. Utilizing Biden’s bout with Covid as a newshook, Wen slithered into the OpEd pages of WaPo and emitted the next:
“Opinion Biden’s covid prognosis is a instructing second for the nation” [Leana Wen, WaPo]. “President Biden’s covid-19 prognosis is a chance for his administration to reveal the success of his management on the pandemic and what the coronavirus appears to be like like…. Biden, his medical workforce and others within the administration have performed all the suitable issues to reveal what ought to occur after a covid prognosis. Proper after he examined optimistic, his workers canceled public occasions. He entered isolation, and White Home workers close to him have been reduce to the minimal quantity. The administration started reaching out to these with whom he had publicity in order that they will comply with precautions and get examined.” Clearly, an “essental employee” has no, zero, zip, zilch, nada capability to do “all the suitable issues.” Contact tracing for Jane Sixpack? Actually? Wen actually is telling you to comply with Rule #2; that is the instructing second, right here: Elites have “entry” to what you don’t. I’m gonna stroke out if I learn to way more of this steaming load, however only one extra excerpt: “One other key lesson is that it’s inevitable that everybody — even the president of the USA — shall be uncovered to the coronavirus. That’s why vaccination and boosters are so necessary.” No! The dose makes the poison! That’s why — since, as everyone knows, vax prevents neither an infection or reinfection — air flow and masking are necessary: They reduce the quantity of virus you inhale, and so that you both don’t get Covid in any respect, or get a very delicate case. However oh, no, I simply needed to preserve studying: “ going ahead. Certainly, that is virtually actually not the one time Biden will get the coronavirus. He, like the remainder of us, may contract the virus or extra.” • Holy moley, the injury the virus inflicts is cumulative. Biden’s capsules received’t work in 2024 if he has two extra bouts; he received’t have two neurons left to rub collectively. I stored studying, oh gawd: “Biden is again at work and finishing up all of the duties of his workplace. That’s precisely accurately.” • No, it’s not. That’s a recipe for lengthy Covid. So, unbelievably, Wen is attempting to get Biden killed, together with the remainder of us! Not often have I seen a sociopath work so arduous to be acknowledged. Leana Wen, congratulations!
(Oh, and no point out of non-pharamaceutical interventions.) And right here now we have Ron Klain endorsing Wen by retweeting her:

• ”The pandemic and the boiling frog story” [Eric Topol, Ground Truths]. “Why do I stay optimistic? As a result of SARS-CoV-2 is a a lot simpler virus to prevail over than influenza. We have now by no means had a flu vaccine with 95% efficacy; we’re fortunate to have multivalent ones which might be 40% efficient. Tamiflu is a weak hitter in contrast with Paxlovid. The virus’s foremost protease (Mpro) makes for an enviable choke level to take it down SARS-CoV-2, regardless that resistance to the drug from mutations in Mpro will probably manifest within the months forward. Though the mutations with practical penalties have been appreciable with SARS-CoV-2, they’re minimal in contrast with the pinnacle of the influenza virus. Variant-proof ‘common’ coronavirus vaccines and nasal vaccines to dam transmission and an infection are our method to flip off the warmth and get forward of the virus’s evolutionary arc. . The boiling frog metaphor is contributing to the shortage of taking motion.” • Or we do know what we’re doing, and we’re doing it.
• Maskstravaganza: Individuals are nonetheless keen to put on masks, regardless of the propaganda:
It’s true that covid circumstances are up and fewer Individuals are carrying masks than ever, however it’s additionally true that most individuals consider they’d put on a masks if circumstances enhance.

Reveals you what a loud and obnoxious minority can do when backed by the media (and with elites solidly behind them).
When you missed it, right here’s a publish on my queasiness with CDC numbers, particularly case depend, which I (nonetheless) think about most necessary, regardless of what Walensky’s psychos at CDC who invented “group ranges” assume. However these are the numbers now we have.
Case Rely
Lambert right here: 91-DIVOC updating once more, happily; I assumet there was a glitch at Johns Hopkins, or a glitch that manifested there.
Case depend for the USA:
The practice continues to be rolling. There was a bizarre, plateau-like “fiddling and diddling” stage earlier than the Omicron explosion, too. This conjuncture feels the identical. Underneath the hood the BA.4/BA.5 are making up a larger and larger proportion of circumstances. Do not forget that circumstances are undercounted, one supply saying by an element of six, Gottlieb pondering we solely decide up one in seven or eight.) Therefore, I take the case depend and multiply it by six to approximate the true degree of circumstances, and draw the DNC-blue “Biden Line” at that time. The earlier depend was ~125,900. Right now, it’s ~123,000 and 123,000 * 6 = a Biden line at 738,000 per day. That’s fairly a number of circumstances per day, when you consider it. At the very least now we have affirmation that the extraordinary mass of case anecdotes we’ve seen have a foundation in actuality. (Keep in mind these knowledge factors are weekly averages, so day by day fluctuations are smoothed out.) The black “Fauci Line” is a counter to triumphalism, because it compares present ranges to previous crises.
Regional case depend for 4 weeks:
The South:
Florida and Texas, nonetheless buying and selling locations.
The West:
Positivity
NOT UPDATES From the Walgreen’s check positivity tracker:
1.1%. Up. (I’m wondering if there’s a Keynesian Magnificence Contest impact, right here; that’s, if folks encounter a sympotomatic individual, whether or not of their social circle or in regular exercise, they’re extra prone to get a check, as a result of they consider, appropriately, that it’s extra probably they are going to be contaminated.) What we’re seeing right here is the steepest and largest acceleration of positivity on Walgreen’s chart.
Transmission
Here is CDC’s interactive map by county set to community transmission. This is the map CDC wants only hospitals to look at, not you. For July 20, 2020:
Establishment, i.e. it’s a very not-over pandemic.
Lambert right here: After the transfer from the CDC to the laughingly named ‘https://healthdata.gov,” this discover appeared: “Efficient June 22, 2022, the Group Profile Report will solely be up to date twice every week, on Wednesdays and Fridays.” So now the administration has belatedly come to the conclusion that we’re in a BA.5 surge, and but important knowledge for making our private threat evaluation is barely accessible twice every week. What’s the over/beneath on whether or not they truly ship tomorrow?
Speedy Riser knowledge, by county (CDC), July 21:
Establishment for counties however extra yellow than crimson.
Earlier Speedy Riser knowledge:
Hospitalization knowledge, by state (CDC), July 21:
Numerous yellow. Haven’t seen so little inexperienced (good) in fairly a while.
Variants
Lambert right here: It’s past irritating how sluggish the variant knowledge is. I seemed for extra charts: California doesn’t to a BA.4/BA.5 breakdown. New York does however it, too, is on a molasses-like two-week cycle. Does no one within the public well being institution get a promotion for monitoring variants? Are there no grants? Is there a single lab that does this work, and all people will get the outcomes from them? Further sources from readers welcome [grinds teeth, bangs head on desk].
NOT UPDATED Variant knowledge, nationwide (Walgreens), June 30:
NOT UPDATED Variant knowledge, nationwide (CDC), July 20:
BA.5 shifting alongside properly.
Wastewater
Wastewater knowledge (CDC), Jul 18:
This chart works a bit like fast riser counties: “This metric exhibits whether or not SARS-CoV-2 ranges at a website are presently increased or decrease than previous historic ranges on the identical website. 0% means ranges are the bottom they’ve been on the website; 100% means ranges are the very best they’ve been on the website.” So, there’s a bunch of crimson dots on the West Coast. That’s 100%, so meaning “ranges are the very best they’ve ever been.” Not damaged down by variant, CDC, good job.
Lambert right here: This web page was loading so slowly that I started to surprise if that is how CDC had chosen to sabotage wastewater efforts. Nevertheless, after some experimentation, I discover I need to flip off my VPN to get this web page to load. Good job, CDC.
Deaths
Loss of life price (Our World in Information):
Whole: 1,051,235 1,050,702. I’ve added an anti-triumphalist Fauci Line. It’s good that for deaths I’ve a pleasant, easy, day by day chart that simply retains chugging alongside, not like every thing else CDC and the White Home are screwing up or letting go darkish, good job.
Stats Watch
There are not any statistics of curiosity in the present day.
The Bezzle: “Amazon’s self-driving robotaxi is ‘actually shut’ to human transport as car passes key security assessments” [The Sun]. “AMAZON’s robotaxi startup, Zoox, is the primary self-driving tech firm to attain a five-star federal crash ranking from the NHTSA [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.]…. The Amazon driving startup is reluctant to present a timetable for his or her robotaxi’s launch because the car will want approval from California’s Division of Motor Autos [DMV] and the US Division of Transportation [DOT]. Zoox has been a California-based firm since its inception eight years in the past. DMV and DOT approval would permit Zoox to function on public roads as a rideshare service.” • I hate the styling, which appears ubiquious amongst startups. You possibly can inform the designer needed to make them look innocent, and that’s why they appear terrifying, like psychotic Teletubbies:
Right now’s Concern & Greed Index: 39 Concern (earlier shut: 41 Concern) [CNN]. One week in the past: 26 (Excessive Concern). (0 is Excessive Concern; 100 is Excessive Greed). Final up to date Jul 22 at 1:33 PM EDT

On the thread, I discovered that Jan Needle’s The Wild Wooden is The Wind within the Willows, instructed from the perspective of the weasels.
The Conservatory
I used to be heartened by the readers yesterday who protested that, sure, there is good new music on the market. Mark Giselson:
Music thrives in unhealthy instances and proper now y’all are lacking a world of extremely fascinating new music. African musicians collaborating with German DJs, growing older reggae artists have attached with the London entice scene, plus one thing like one million musicians with dwelling pc studios and streaming capabilities. The residing/respiratory wing of the high-quality arts appear to be sliding into patron-sponsored occasions just like the Rilke Undertaking.
As certainly one of Gioia’s commenters factors out, folks merely aren’t shopping for music anymore. They pay for a streaming service or become involved with some type of sharing community with their buddies. Previous music nonetheless sells as a result of the individuals who take heed to it don’t know how you can entry music in any other case now that radio is seemingly for every thing however music.
Don’t fear concerning the youngsters. After many years of pop dumbing itself down, the youngsters are listening to some superb new stuff (in addition to some actually unhealthy stuff however Sturgeon’s Legislation applies).
Or Eureka Springs:
There was a narrative linked right here just a few years again about how few youngsters study to play devices in contrast to a couple many years in the past. Not lengthy after that on a whim I went right down to New Orleans to catch Maceo Parker at Tipitina’s. Now I’ve been to NOLA sufficient in my life that I may drive a cab like a neighborhood however I at all times managed to overlook Mardi Gras. Nicely we get to city/TIPS within the backyard district and the streets are crammed with Mardi Gras parades of younger folks in marching bands – enjoying actual devices. Children from throughout a number of states. Funky jazzy stuff. Not that soccer band merde. That gave me extra hope than Obama leaving workplace.
On the style entrance, there are too many making all of them virtually meaningless. What they name R&B now has neither R or B to it…..
I used to scour the web just a few instances a yr with many bookmarks to get me began and in just a few classes I may have a pleasant lengthy playlist of recent to me stuff. Even some complete album/CD’s. How uncommon it’s now to search out younger bands who compose an album as an entire work. Virtually all of these bookmarked for revisiting for leads during the last 20 years are gone or as ineffective as Pitchfork. final yr I believe my singles playlist ended up with half a dozen songs, fairly than 50 to 150.
One must know and perceive some critics. Right now’s critics with most who like to speak about artwork, they actually don’t talk nicely. And naturally search engines like google and yahoo are crap and locations like amazon evaluations, notably music, aren’t the place to learn. I’m at a whole loss as to how you can discover new grooves.
All that mentioned… Jack White, Patti Smith, Aaron Kamm and the One Drops, Massive Smith have all been wonderful reside exhibits this yr.
