I noted, in my previous post in this format:
that the links I listed would probably hold the same relevance and value over time, so there was no need to click them immediately.
that I’m not co-signing everything about an individual entry, only affirming that there does exist enough value that it might click with a reader.
To elaborate:
When I start posting manifestos and policy platforms, you’ll know. When I take direct political action1 it will be abundantly clear. Probably I’ll start by enabling the half-dozen features Substack has turned on by default that make it much more annoying to read emails, and that’ll be the sign for you all to start jockeying for cabinet positions.
In the meantime, I have some tabs to close down. My apologies for adding to yours with such profligacy.

Like the last dump, I haven’t read/watched/listened to everything above for the first time recently, but I have been inclined to visit or revisit it accordingly, and I think the links should be worth doing the same without specific context that brought them to mind.
Hopefully this post will serve to cleanse your palate as much as it has served to cleanse my palette; it’s been pallid, but there’ll be a whit I writ to whet your appetite on the next pallet.
All the best.
