Friday links, assorted

The Omg Lol Times: Disconnecting from Discord. My distaste of Discord is from their overall esthetics and not because they are snitches, but I am not surprised. Only in Hollywood do villains have taste.
Kyla Scanlon: 6 Economic Lessons from Books About Power, Propaganda, and Decline. Sure, it’s a listicle, but every item stands on its own.
Ruxandra Teslo: For clinical trial reform, we need more hobbits. There is also a quick follow-up. I will have more to write on this topic.
Scot Sumner: Breakneck. It is about Dan Wang’s book. Consider it a continuation of this list.
Derek Guy: Cuttings: Armani Obit, Republican Style, Office Wear, and Bare Chests. The man behind the @dieworkwear social media accounts has a blog which is, surprise surprise, much less engagement-bait-y and political than any of the media personas. The most recent article is “just” a series of excerpts from his recent big-media articles, but I imagine scrolling through the archive would be a good exercise for the weekend.
