Rollins's Review, October 15
This column is late because the dog ate my homework I wanted to test out Substack’s scheduled posting feature. Rollins’s Review columns will return to their regular Friday schedule next week.
I learn something new I can use to better my life every time I read dynomight. He’s fantastic and you should read him.
Ines between Chairs of Raised by Germans writes about narcissism a lot. I’m boosting this column of hers in part because I like her and in part because I like my readers; if your sweetie does anything listed in her piece more than, say, once in the space of a year…I’d cut the cord.
Matt Stoller is the Chris from Karlstack of antitrust. He is one of the great archetype examples of public interest journalism. I can’t say enough good things about him.
I don’t think enough people understand just how revolutionary economist Bryan Caplan is. And by “revolutionary,” I mean fucking subversive, in the best possible way.
Holly Math Nerd on purity culture, wokeness, and masculinity. The article is top notch, and there are bonus New England foliage photos. Holly is one of my favorites.
I have no connection to the military other than friends who are or were in it (and they have my sympathy for the shit they have to put up with), but I like CDR Salamander. He’s unvarnished and salty, and the war stories about war heroes he posts a couple times a week are often poignant and always impressive. Worth a read.
I’ve boosted Harrison Koehli before and almost certainly will again. His take on political pathocracy (government by the deranged) is unusual in both its rigor and its readability; Harrison is a fantastic writer.
Ed West is a conservative Brit who writes eloquently about…everything, it seems like. He’s thoughtful and worth reading.
Addendum: The Economist thinks it'd be a good idea to put cocaine back on the menu.
Welp.
No way that’ll end badly.
Glad you found Ed West
Thank you.
