I do appreciate OMWC leaving me the opportunity to memorialize one of the truly brave men in the history of the world. Today, June 5 is the day in 1989 when a man bet his life on the basic humanity of the men commanding tanks for the PLA and won. And I mean that. At least one tank commander that day said to himself something like, “it would be inhuman to use all of the power of this tank to destroy a single man who means me no harm, and could do me no harm if he tried.” Whether any courage of Tank Man transferred to that commander and stayed his hand in later brutality is unknown. So I leave to you my friends this hope, that over the next few days, both those who seek change and those who seek order will find moments of courage and see the basic humanity in each other.

I knew I could count on Florida Man! The cops went easy on him though: According to court documents, Alcalde faces a misdemeanor charge of refusing to admit an officer and a warning for violating the state order closing restaurants.

Pretty cool, someone figured out how anesthesia works.

And you guys told me elephant serial killer was far fetched. What an asshole.

Reuters: U.S. labor market unexpectedly improves; recovery years away. Remember when bad economic news happens to Team Blue president, it is always unexpectedly. When good economic news happens to Team Red president, it is always unexpectedly. Seriously, they were expecting -8 million jobs, and got +2.5 million jobs. That’s about as wrong as you can be. Although they’re right about the recovery. As long as businesses are shut down by fiat order, there’s no chance.
