SpaceX: say what you want about Elon Musk, there's not many folks who could do this -- SpaceX launches 88 satellites into orbit and nails the rocket landing. Link here. Is it just me, but do these satellites simply seem like "drones" in space?
Coal is dead! Long live coal! Link to Charles Kennedy: more than two billion tons of coal mining capacity is about to come online.
Who owns the Fourth of July? Op-ed in The WSJ.
Let it also not pass unnoticed that while much of the country stayed home as ordered, workers in hospitals, supermarkets, drugstores, factories, distribution centers and other places awoke each day, went to their jobs and kept the country afloat, oblivious to the political obsessions of their at-home fellow citizens.
Another notable source of stability, largely missed by a media focused on Covid and racism, was that for much of the pandemic’s year, most of the nation’s religious, private and many charter schools heroically stayed open while public-school unions refused to let their members teach.

Hulu and the Amazon TV Fire Stick: can't say enough positive things about the experience. Auto racing, NBA basketball, The Third Man on TCM and that's just the start. Ice Age, also. It simply does not quit. Orson Welles in The Third Man --- holy mackerel -- Kelsey Grammer channels Orson Welles in The Third Man. The music is incredible. Black and white. LOL.
Duolingo: Sophia and I have 286 consecutive days -- have not missed one day since starting -- of a Duolingo Spanish lesson. Slowly but surely.
