This week, we go it alone. And by that we mean no guest, just our guys performing some Rank Punditry® on the news of the day, energy on Texas, WandaVision (well, James tries to talk about it), Rob's recently completed trip to Kenya, Peter's sojourn in Wyoming, and various other personal and political points of interest. We've also got new Lileks Post of The Week, courtesy of David Foster (our apologies on the tardy jingle, David), and Rob tells us how to get forbidden cheese past U.S. Customs. Information for life.
Music from this week's show: Ladysmith Black Mambazo - (Mbube) The Lion Sleeps Tonight

If you listen to GLoP for the stories it will get even creepier!

Did anyone notice that right after James talked about the slaughterhouses using curved ramps and stuff, so that the cattle don't know where they're going to end up, Rob started talking in curved ramps and stuff about how he thinks the media culture etc should be fixed?

Rob is also wrong about Texas vs California, because California actually IMPORTS much of its electricity from outside the state, because they don't want to get their own hands dirty with things like POWER PLANTS. Which, among other problems, means that if the other states end up needing more than they can spare, California gets shut off. And California has no backup capability.

Re: Nuclear Power: Have they overcome the tendency of liquid sodium to explode on contact with any moisture, even the moisture commonly found in the Earth's atmosphere?
On the whole, if advocacy of nuclear power is what gets Bill Gates "cancelled," then opposition to nuclear power might be worth it.
