1. The Howdy Doody longhorn steer car culture that is Nebraska, good video too (NYT). Who needs an old-style NJ hood ornament?

2. Investment is booming in Ohio.

3. Markets in everything: buy a government surveillance van for 26k.

4. The political economy of the Magna Carta.

5. Become an expert in something specific and boring.

6. Parfitian, Kafkaesque insects (New Yorker).

7. New Melissa Dell et.al. data set from historical U.S. newspapers, now with LLMs far more valuable than they realized when they started constructing it.
