We’ve depreciated the blogroll. Many of the sites are dead and / or not updated.
We are looking to revive this, so please comment away with the blogs, twitter accounts or sites you feel would fit well and we’ll add them to the new ‘To be seen” column (aka blogroll)
Tim & Rich
‘Month after month during the Biden administration, the employment numbers looked good. But it was all a lie.
… approximately 2 million jobs that were supposedly created during the final three years of the Biden administration “have now been revised away”…’
If you have a taste for such doom and gloom, consider https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/
If you like the rapier plus the bludgeon there’s https://streetwiseprofessor.com/
For chat about US interest rates, bond yields and, above all, housing and property markets there’s https://wolfstreet.com/
And the Marginal Revolution blog still occasionally slips in a word or two about Economics whenever its cheer-leading for AI and uncontrolled immigration allows.

This chap used to write fascinatingly about his experience as a small businessman dealing with government regulators – especially in California. Alas, he seems to have drifted away from that line recently.

A couple of American blogs that are usefully sceptical about Global Warming and other quasi-religions of our day are:
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/
https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/
For demolition of Weird Ed and the carefully calculated lying of the Met Office try

And another thing: it strikes me that if you have the appetite to read a well-made argument about arguments then you might appreciate this chap.

Tim is altering the blog.
This 70s linoleum has seen a bit of wear…
Instapundit and Samizdata, for starters.
Nah, S still publishes in light lettering on a dark background. Not for my poor old eyes.
Samizdata has definite CIA/ MI6 influence – at least when it comes to the Ukraine War but most of it is good
PdH is a c*nt who deletes posts from people who disagree with him over the Ukraine war, while accusing them of being Russian shills, so scratch SD as a recommendation. One (small) step above Spud IMO.
Jim- Yes. Similar to PJF here I am sure Perry is enjoying his CIA/ MI6 stipend – I would say there’s some other better contributors than him
Depends how wide you want to spread the net. +1 for SWP of course, but some of these might be a bit too geeky:
https://www.theregister.co.uk – sadly no longer as snarky and irreverent as it was before they gave Tim the elbow, but useful tech news nevertheless.
Hacker News – very techy but there are often pearls from unrelated fields.
Bits about Money – interesting & detailed essays on aspects of the US banking industry.
Guido of course
Watts up with That – one of the best Gerbil Worming websites.
I don’t often read them now. Because I feel the argument has been won, but excellent GW sites are still
Notrickszone.com
And the redoubtable
Notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com
I do enjoy https://akhaart.blogspot.com/ and https://thylacosmilus.blogspot.com/ (Ambush Predator). Sadly, Irish Grandad is no longer with us. Does anyone have any idea what happened to https://billsticker.wordpress.com/?
Tallbloke’s Talkshop https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/
Market Thinker https://marketthinker.substack.com/
and somebody has already mentioned, but worth mentioning again for consistent high-quality writing and depth of thought:
News from Uncibal https://newsfromuncibal.substack.com/
Some great site already mentioned.
Five more:
For US politics, Ace of Spaces – one of the few who does sarcasm as well as we do: ace.mu.nu
Similarly, for his daily US posts, Jeff Childers at http://www.coffeeandcovid.com
David Turver’s global warming/economics /energy substack is excellent – davidturver.substack.com
For EU, mainly Germany, the excellent Eugyppius: http://www.eugyppius.com. He started out on Covid, but is now far more wide ranging. You have to pay to read some of his posts, though.
One more (there are so many): newsletter.doomberg.com
Depreciated?
Oxford English Dictionary: [Tech] “still functional but is no longer recommended for new use because a better alternative is available, or it’s scheduled for removal”
I hope this helps.
I think you mean deprecated
He means “winnowed.”
Small Dead Animals: SDA
Whatfinger News: Whatfinger (the weekly Top Ten is great)
Adam Smith Institute obvs: https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/
It would be more useful to recommend writers on Substack. Andrew Doyle, Matt Goodwin, Graham Linehan for a start. I have paid subs to them (a moral imperative in the case of Linehan) and some others, but your money’s yours to spend as you see fit.
