After Babel

By Jon Haidt

Using moral psychology to explain why so much is going wrong

Deeply Problematic

By Jonathan Kay

A substack newsletter from Jonathan Kay

Sauciest cultural-criticism type newsletter around. Whether you like his standpoints or not, the best thing about Jonathan is that he adamantly and absolutely refuses to surrender his sense of humour. Laughs out loud when everyone else is hiding their smirks.

A groundbreaking, newsbreaking project devoted to the straightforward and absolutely necessary work of translating Chinese-language media and revealing the shocking scope and scale of the Chinese Communist Party's overseas influence operations. Indispensable.

Year Zero

By Wesley Yang

An ongoing inquiry into the ideological fever that overtook the governing and chattering classes of America during the Trump years

Never mind "wokeness." What the author of The Souls of Yellow Folk is looking at is the "successor ideology" that has supplanted the liberal-left by appropriating its language in service of a utopian authoritarianism that brooks no dissent. Wesley dissents.

Adventures of Bad Hijabi

Oh hai. I’m disimpacting my brain.

The Cosmopolitan Globalist

By Claire Berlinski

Edited by essayist Claire Berlinski, this is Substack's top forum for the discussion of international news among readers and writers, around the world, who are concerned about the future of liberal democracy and the gathering storm of global war.

A project of the amazing Claire Berlinski. It's a bit like Foreign Policy magazine, except especially cognizant of this strange thing about our times: "global news coverage has all but disappeared from the Anglophone media." Eclectic, not Americacentric.
