The only difference between NPR and mainstream media is that NPR is a nonprofit…

**Schools Are Retaliating Against Students Who Exercise Their Right to Free Speech**

Since October 7th, on campus antisemitism has become so horrifyingly common that many people simply ignore it -- or justify/dismiss it because of the atrocities in Gaza. As if two wrongs make a…

I will never forget the day the “not guilty” verdict came down.

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I remember the faces of people who erupted with joy and applause as a murderer was acquitted.

Unquestionably, many Black men and women have lost their lives at…

If you’ve been wondering why inflation is out of control now, this might have something to do with it.

The class divide is about to get wider.

A 3-minute gem from Steve Jobs about the magic created when a team works to bring great ideas to life.

Elon Musk What applies to employees at a company also applies to society at large. Through friction, debate and conflict often come magic and beauty.

Wow, so disappointed to hear this Eli Steele. Substack has managed to resist censorship longer than many of us expected. If #KillingAmerica makes them nervous, I’m putting it on my watchlist. #freespeech #censorship

Others talk about speaking truth to power, but Michael Shellenberger truly does it.

Thank you for being such a bright light in a world that desperately needs it! And thank you Elon Musk for having his back 💪

At TGS this week I speak with investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger about his work on the 'Twitter Files'. In this clip he reports on the role that Elon Musk has played in opening things up at that platform to a wider range of discourse.

Very bad surprises! 😂

Take a close a look at what’s happening in our country now.

*This* should be front and center in the 2024 election.

If you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants together in a jar, nothing will happen.

But if you shake the jar, the ants will start killing each other.

The black ants will think red ants are the *enemy*, and the red ants will think black ants are the *enemy*.

But the real *enemy*…

Kinda strange how all these chickens are given buckets of antibiotics while being raised yet somehow all get sick anyways. Interesting..

Teachers locked kids out of classrooms for 1.5 years while telling them in-person school doesn’t matter.

Now teachers are opting to take more sick days.

Teachers — if you refuse to prioritize your own school attendance, don’t act surprised to see student absenteeism rising too.

I'm confused by the brouhaha over BEYONCÉ. I think both 'sides' have it wrong:

1. Yes, black cowboys have a long and rich history in America, so in this respect she is *not* appropriating white culture.

2. No, black women do *not* naturally have long, straight, blonde hair, so…

Many thanks to J.K. Rowling for standing tall, as always! The good news Caitlyn Jenner and Maria Bartiromo is that Scottish police have determined that J.K.'s comments 'are not assessed to be criminal.'
