SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of June

Top blogging of June

A bit late, but reading was surely slow over the three-day Fourth of July weekend.

As usual, not all of the most popular posts were from June. Just, they got read then! In fact, the first two are not.

The first? It's from 2010, in fact, and is about the LEMON of the early Chevy Volt.

No. 2? About two and a half years ago, after Adam Silver instituted the play-in tournament for teams 7-10 in both NBA Eastern and Western Conferences, and I called out LeBron James and Luka Doncic for bitching about it.

No. 3? From last month, I said COVID likely has killed 2 MILLION in China, not the 5-15,000 it reports and that is uncritically repeated by Western health data sites.

No. 4? My thoughts on Californians Californicating Texas, who, moving here any time from fall 2020 to spring of this year, largely the tech-neolib types, specifically my thoughts on them having a mild summer last year and now shitting their pants and overstressing the electric grid with real Texas summer.

No. 5? The rest of the story behind that Putin-Macron phone call over Ukraine in February.

No. 6? The Fraud, I mean the Squad, showed their lack of true environmental bona fides by voting with all other House Dems for Biden's newest water program, which includes Ike Dike money for the anti-green Corps of Engineers.

No. 7? Totally different. My thoughts on the future of entry-level digital SLR cameras from Canon, Nikon and others.

No. 8? Back to Russia-Ukraine? Just who IS the Institute for the Study of War? Answers here.

No. 9? I noted that WHO still wants the "lab leak hypothesis" on COVID investigated further, even as a tribalist like Orac won't back off his initial claim that it's a conspiracy theory.

No. 10 and from late in the month? My callout of Texas Green Party gubernatorial candidate Delilah Barrios for being a Second Amendment absolutist, along with call out of her muse on this issue.
