Someone needs to create a version of steffen that keeps groups together (especially folks traveling with kids) and see how it compares to random.
Turns out there's a faster way to board an aircraft! Someone should tag literally every airline and show them this. 📹: bad_science_jokes

Very hot today. Mid-90s to near 100. Heat index 105 or higher at peak. Cold front sliding toward us means another round of late-day storms, some severe. Less intense Saturday. Hot with more storms possible Sunday. Details: capitalweather.com

In philosophy you can only really train for rigour and hope that insight comes of its own accord.

Revana Sharfuddin didn't just find mentors at Mercatus. She found the platform to take her research into rooms where policy actually gets made. @R_Sharfuddin_’s work on labor markets and AI has informed real policy conversations, with support that helped her get there. If you are a scholar looking to develop your research and bring it into broader policy conversations, applications for the 2026 Emerging Scholars cohort are now open. bit.ly/4dcmN6k

Can a philosophy of limited government justify collective defense? On The Street Porter and the Philosopher, @RMLLowe and @tylercowen explore a tension at the heart of classical liberalism: how do ideas of limited government, self-defense, and collective protection fit together?
