Jeremiah Johnson is a guy who resoundingly gets it, and his Substack is largely a discourse about The Discourse, which IMHO is just about the only thing the capital-D Discourse is good for.
Josh Barro's newsletter about politics, the economy and culture.
Josh understands economics and his writing is clear as a bell. He has radical views about mayonnaise that I don't endorse, but still an essential read.
It's fun to hear Katie and Jesse interact the way normal people interact, which is to say: Insulting each other constantly. And they always have smart takes on the dumbest news of the day.
I need honest-to-God leftists in my media diet, and Freddie's always a good read. He's also one of the few people on Substack who can hang with me, profanity-wise.
Noah's an outstanding economist who has something interesting to say on a wide variety of topics. He's pro-rabbit and I'm pro-cat, so we have our disagreements, but always an interesting read.
A newsletter about science, social-justice-activism, why they sometimes fight, and how to help them get along better -- plus a good deal of other, more random stuff.
We're experiencing an epidemic of shoddy journalism and crappy social science. Jesse sets a lot of that garbage straight.
