My favorite substacks
I subscribe to many, some with which I agree and some with which I disagree, and mostly substacks can teach me something.
Compass Star Wordsmith by Ric Leczel. We have so little in common that I learn from him every time. Paid Subscription.
From Ebla to E-books, by Kathleen McCormick. Kathleen is a librarian, more properly, a librarian of libraries. Every post teaches me something I never knew and directs me to collections of knowledge that I invariably enjoyed.
Matt Taibbi, Journalist. His liberal credentials are impeccable and he is a responsible investigative journalist of wide repute whose political reporting was censored to protect an authoritarian left. He quit lucrative offline reporting to move to Substack. Paid Subscription He reads responses, and actually called me because I represented an experience set with which he had no familiarity.
Glenn Greenwald. Similar to Taibbi, better research, much – very much -wordier. Has fully abandoned the delusion that the Democratic Party is in any way liberal. Great snark. Paid Subscription
Euphoric Recall .by Brad Neaton. Paid Subscription A new discovery, another author of an eclectic column.
Charles Clemens’ substack, name not coming immediately to mind. A fellow Tennessean and Grumpy Old Man.
On Data, author unrecalled. Understands empirical data and how to interpret it.
Will add others as I think of them. Please don’t feel offended that I left you off; my IQ is dropping faster than Kamala’s polling numbers.
Best Bad Fairy by SCA. Her fiction is fabulous.
Two for their humor value; stuck so deep in delusion they cannot be brought forward. They shall remain un-named.
I'm honored. Thank you.
great list and cheers to your mind and its quest for knowledge. I value the knowledge you share
