Really not beating the charges on unions just being their own special interest for rent-seeking.

Happy to announce that my latest academic article, "Does educational philanthropy shape democracy? A tale of two schools in San Fernando de Béxar," is now forthcoming in Philanthropy & Education!

What other category of public employee — cop, firefighter, sanitation worker, DMV staffer — is encouraged to be an activist?

I remember a bunch of supposed free speech types telling me the GOP was better on this issue than Democrats

Years ago I tried to explain to some professional Democrats that far lefties were not just liberals who were truer believers, but an entirely different intellectual tradition with different priors. I couldn't convince any of them of that. But it's true.

The country is not a reality TV show with cliffhangers and teasers: Either tell people what has “shocked you to your core” or hold your tongue until you can. Anything else breeds suspicion, mistrust, and cynicism.

I often find Drew annoying, but if he follows through with this, he has my respect.

Scott Howard We're basically living through yet another Masonic conspiracy wave, except this time the Masons are the Jews

the pitch to carmakers right now seems to be “build in the US and you’ll have to pay a 50% tariff on your steel and a 25% tariff on your car parts. Or build in EU/Japan and you’ll only have to pay a 15% tariff” What are we even doing here

With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

RIP Ryne Sandberg, one of the most underrated Hall of Fame second basemen. He could do it all: he was an MVP, had a 40-homer season, a 50-steal season, and won 9 Gold Gloves. He was just terrific. Ryno was only 65 years old. Heartbreaking for baseball and for the Cubs family.

My kingdom for a political party whose views on economics aren't "I miss 1975" or "let's be like Norway (I don't understand Norwegian economics at all)" or "Mao wasn't that bad, actually."

I've been reading this NYT article profiling some of the last living veterans of the Imperial Japanese military in WWII. This passage hits like a ton of bricks, no matter your country. nytimes.com/2025/07/28/wor…

Jhoan Duran has not been traded. He was just hugging his bullpen catcher because that's what friends do sometimes.

After some hiccups, it's nice seeing Texas A&M University return to FIRE's Nice List.

If the reports surrounding Oprah's private road are true...utterly despicable, and may God have mercy on her soul.
