Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Psychedelic drug passes big test for PTSD treatment. "Two months after treatment, 67 percent of participants in the MDMA group no longer qualified for a diagnosis of PTSD, compared with 32 percent in the placebo group."

- Noah Smith - Pandemic UI needs a redesign. No it doesn't - it needs to end. Paying people not to work and sending them great big "stimmie" checks is a recipe for disaster. That Dunkin Donuts in Rutland is still closed because it can't get enough workers to staff it. And it's been closed for over a month now. That's the real world not some spreadsheet prediction.

- Still one of my favorite baseball highlights

- This gym class would lead to police charges today

- Matt Taibbi on former Havard President Larry Summers' comments on the proposed $2,000 stimulus checks. 

- 22 quotes from a recent Charlie Munger interview

- Kevin Simler - Ads Don't Work That Way (another long but interesting read)

- Heh Heh

- Good for Boris Johnson.

- Accounting for Stimulus Checks

- Heh Heh

- Urban foxes may be self-domesticating

Do you recall how it seemed almost every year the police of the city hosting the Super Bowl would run a sting operation telling wanted felons that they had won tickets to the big game? The wanted criminals would show up to the location all excited about winning some raffle they didn't remember entering and then BAM they were clasped into handcuffs and arrested. The sting seemed to work every year. In every city.

Can you imagine if ICE did something similar but instead of Super Bowl tickets they used phony Stimulus checks instead? The illegal alien shows up looking for their $1,200 and then BAM they get deported instead. The very same media that wrote glowing stories about the Super Bowl stings would write scathing articles about the ICE sting. You can picture it now.

The sting would absolutely work in Blue States because given the lawlessness of Sanctuary Cities - why wouldn't the government just be giving away money? Then BAM - they get deported.

Just a thought. (I know it would never happen but the thought amused me.)
