Pretty cool clouds appear to have foiled the plans of the King’s flyover

New essay: the tribe comes first, the philosophy comes second. Even for libertarians. Maybe especially for libertarians.

”That also taught me something important about jazz. It happens in the moment. And if you hear it one night, don’t expect to find it on an a record. You can even go back and hear the same band the next night, and have a completely different experience.” www.honest-broker.com/p/the-live-m...

“It’s innocent, it’s generous, it doesn’t lie, it has no agenda, it has no body, it can’t make things happen.”

I feel like there is a view among some self-proclaimed libertarians that racism is a personal belief and that personal beliefs should never be criticized. Their only concern is what the government is doing. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of this approach to promoting limited government.

I always assumed the “kid” part of “Kid Rock” referred to himself. Clearly that’s not the case…

This headline could’ve used some work.

This is very very good

“There are hailstorms, landslides, droughts, malaria and . . . the State. These are inescapable evils; such there always have been and there always will be.”

This is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.

Reading the comments on any story about housing is a great way to understand how we got a housing shortage.

Happy feast day of Saint Frances Xaviar Cabrini

I would very much like Selcouth Quartet to tour again.

Went from getting the MLB package because I had a baby to missing the entire World Series because I have a baby

🕰️ This Sunday, we change the clocks. But maybe it's not just an inconvenience, it’s a health risk. “Our internal clocks are aligned with the sun, not social schedules,” writes Dr. Jeff Singer. Let’s pick a time and stick with it.

Washington has “showered” the US steel industry with protection from import competition for decades. Yet the industry continues to struggle, and steel prices in the US are among the world’s highest. More protectionism will only exacerbate this long-term trend. www.cato.org/blog/folly-a...

Getting used to constant military jet flyovers isn’t something I had planned on

“Given the legal deficiencies in the Trump administration’s case, this shock-and-awe approach is understandable. Yet it suffers from a serious flaw: The underlying policy claims are ridiculous.” @scottlincicome.bsky.social @cato.org

Can free market policies in both AI and electricity create previously unimaginable levels of human flourishing and prosperity? @cato.org @jrhuddles.bsky.social

What do pregnant women with high fevers and people with severe chronic pain have in common? Increasingly, both are being told to “tough it out.” The Tylenol scare is built on shaky evidence, but it leaves women, like millions with pain, with nowhere to turn.

Cato filed an amicus brief in RAICES v. Noem, the case challenging Trump's Border Dictator order that purports to suspend all immigration law because it is "ineffective." Our brief describes how the government's arguments are baseless www.cato.org/legal-briefs...

We don't pull any punches in this one. And for those who may not know it, DHS publicly threatened my colleague @davidjbier.bsky.social for his superb work exposing their lies about one specific ICE misconduct episode.
