Yascha Mounk and Persuasion is really great. I tend to like writers that have more of a scout mindset.

Bari Weiss’ Common Sense, Scott Alexander (the comments here trashing him are wrong, easy to tell by reading him), The Diff by Byrne Hobart is one of the best finance blogs online, Noahpinion by Noah Smith, Zvi Mowshowitz has had good writing about Covid.

Andrew Sullivan’s the weekly dish has different politics than I do, but he’s also a good writer with a scout mindset imo.

Outside of substack, Coleman Hughes, Kmele Foster, Sam Harris, Ben Thompson of Stratechery, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Julia Galef are all great.

Sam Harris in particular is a really good, smart, interviewer.
