- Glenn Reynolds on 25-years of blogitude. Congrats professor!

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Rob Henderson: We Act Before We Understand. Lots of evidence of "nature" and very little for "nurture."
- VDH: Reactionary, neo-confederate Portland. He's not wrong.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Rob Henderson: Rage of the falling elite.
- Peter Attia on optimism for lithium orotate as a treatment for Alzheimer's. Perhaps a cause for optimism.
- Glenn Reynold: Oft Evil Will Evil Mar. I too couldn't help but think that by striking Charlie down they were just making him stronger.
More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Rob Henderson on Why Cancel Culture is Fading. Disagree with his takes on DEI and Cracker Barrel but his overall premise is correct.
- Glenn Reynolds from Rabble Rousing to Rabble Snoozing. The corporate media is evil.
- Why Washington's panic over Kennedy tells us he's close to the truth. Think it's a mistake to pair RFK Jr. with President Trump. His active allies are doctors the establishment tried to censor or cancel because they were speaking the truth about Covid.

A memoir of foster care, family, and social class.
Have a new book review of a book I highly recommend up on Substack.
Thanks to Bob for the copy!
"Even if a young man learns absolutely nothing during a military enlistment, that's still four to six years he spent simply staying out of trouble and letting his brain develop; the same guy at twenty-four is rarely as reckless and impulsive as he was at eighteen. The reason my life didn't go off the rails is because I was just self-aware enough to decide to have my choices stripped from me." - Rob Henderson Troubled
Was aware that Henderson had a rough childhood in foster homes but later made it to top colleges in Yale and Cambridge. Was ignorant of his time in the Air Force. Guess I should have read the read the quote from Jordan Petersen before hand.
"A captivating memoir about the travails of foster care, the discipline of military service, the imprtance of family, and the shock of what has become of the elite universities, told with a clear voice and focused determination." - Jordan Petersen
Thanks for the book Bob.
