who seems far more truthful and thorough, on the things she writes about, than any other I've found (including Arnold! who's second).
I'm developing Hanania envy, and he's often great, and insightful, plus with the humility of maybe not being correct. Arnold doesn't like Steve Sailor, and he IS more snarky than I like, but I look more for truth AND brevity, than snark or not. I especially like truth that is anti-PC & now anti-Woke.
I'm sick of reading about COVID, tho The Zvi is among the best.
For news, Trump & GOP fanboy Don Surber remains the best for summary.
Rod Dreher is the best Christian Right thinker & networker; but Rod's almost as long as Scott Alexander, whose often good analysis is flawed by me not quite trusting his honesty/ truthfulness; tho I trust him more than "conservative" Sullivan who always votes for Democrats for President.
Bari Weiss, with a bunch of other writers at Common Sense, is a bit uneven.
Great for any interested in genetics based history of Anatolia, but not quite worth me paying limited cash & time for.
For much of the last year I enjoyed the great style of Freddie deBoer, but I'm about to cancel my paid subscription after buying his book, The Cult of Smart. Like with Glenn, the problem of how society should deal with low IQ young men is not yet being honestly discussed as the major problem it is, and the root of so many other problems discussed.
Infovores is now better. Tho I miss Handle's comments.
New to substack Brink Lindsey is right about the Permanent Problem - how, after economic survival issues are solved, should one live wisely, agreeably, and well?
I would add the Economist Magazine for it’s coverage of global news.
I am surprised that there is no economist on the list other than Tyler whose interests and writings have moved away from classical economics (which is a good thing given his great insights into so many areas). Thus, I would add the writings of Scott Grandis who blogs at http://scottgrannis.blogspot.com
Surprised about Henderson as I don't tend to find him as interesting (not as original?) as many others. What's a good piece that is representative of the best he has to offer?
Great idea to list your current reading. I really respect Glenn, and he's one of the few I pay for - but I'm tired of most racism discussion, too.
Besides here with Arnold, I always read Instapundit, and daily read Neo at https://www.thenewneo.com/

Razib Khan is fine, excellent on his subjects - but often those are not currently the most interesting to me, like this recent great piece https://razib.substack.com/p/the-turkification-of-anatolia-tales

Thanks for the shout out, Tom!
Does anyone know where Handle has gone? Where he comments now? I always appreciated his perspective on various topics.
This is off-topic, but I would be interested to know if you have any comments on this:

The links that he posts are varied and interesting.
Luxury beliefs is what he's known for, https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/status-symbols-and-the-struggle-for
But probably people read him more because of his background and unique perspective, see eg, https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/no-one-expects-young-men-to-do-anything
His review of Sadly Porn was fantastic.
