There's SCOTUSBlog for the Supreme Court. People often mistake it for being from the court, but it's independent. Legal Eagle on YouTube is good if you don't mind video.

Money, transportation, housing, referrals/interviews/jobs, a good time with safe people away from an unsafe but currently inescapable situation. Sometimes verbal or written, but that can be just what someone needs. I've perso

The problem with Substack (and Revue) is their publisher policy. The moment you turn on payments, you either bend to the ambiguity and only get your income from them, or you risk it with a Patreon or an online store for a purpose that isn

A weird advice worm ate its way through the blogosphere in the late 2000s and early 2010s that made people think that if content was "evergreen," it didn't need a time stamp. The reality is that even the best advice has a con

I'm experimenting with a once every other month newsletter using Revue + the Twitter integration.[0] Tweeting is about the only way I've found to get views on stuff I write nowadays, and Twitter's analytics say I get tens to

All the practical means of handling cryptocurrency involve exchanges where, sooner or later, regulatory scrutiny and the risk tolerance people have with money makes them as complicated as banks. This is the same problem people have making n

Challenger banks who launched thinking this often end up owned by or serviced by traditional banks. Some of that thinking is at least making its way into traditional banking, but it's a slow process with entrenched interests fighting e

There are markets where being seen as old-fashioned is fatal, so this might not be irrational. Just because it's internal doesn't mean they're not worried about the wrong people seeing it in an old-fashioned state. People who

The hardest and most important mindset shift for me was when I realized almost every person who supports terrible policies/politicians does so thinking they do it because they care, and they do from their particular perspective. I can&
