Really good post here on a large shadow change in criminal justice policy in DC that to my knowledge has not been adequately explained.

This is an excellent piece on the qualitative difference between Fox News propaganda and the kinds of normal journalistic failures that happen elsewhere in the media.

Good piece here from @JessGrose about how basic marketing incentives can lead pharmaceutical companies and other to push for overly aggressive diagnosis of mental health conditions and questionable off-label uses.

Great piece here about how pharmaceutical marketing incentives, resource scarcity, and the perennial search for shortcuts can undermine sound clinical practice.

Great thread here on the long-term housing catastrophe in the UK.
