Why is that when you say "I believe we must legalize/decriminalize all drugs," every single person follows up by asking "Even heroin?" Bitch. What do you think "all" means?

There is nothing more terrifying than a contextless man who clearly knows you saying “Hi, I’m Mike!” and nothing else.

It's a good thing I'm not a proud man. Otherwise, I might be a little offended by this article using all the reporting I ever did on the straw stuff without a single Reason credit or citation.

This is quite the paper!
It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town.
Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03442

Today on the @Reason Roundtable I learned that @kmanguward, @nickgillespie & @ENBrown are the kind of sickos who prefer QRT codes and phone-fumbling to actual paper menus, which I think probably explains everything wrong with libertarians, or something. reason.com/podcast/2023/0

What’s the driving force of American politics? Class? Race? Economic factors? Cultural forces? In my latest essay for , I argue it’s probably zoning. 🧵

One of my favorite things is when my vanity Google alert returns results for the Mangu Ward, which is a political district in Plateau State, Nigeria. I get these periodic peeks into the minutiae of their elections and it's fascinating

One reason why I’m becoming more libertarian: in reflecting on my life, I realize there were things I was once adamant about, yet I was ultimately wrong. Given our fallibility, the law (the ultimate expression of our adamance) should tread as lightly as possible in our lives.

Clearly untrue. Y'all are wearing big dumb sneakers with your suits these days, when we've been doing that in D.C. all along.

I feel compelled to note that the lack of a comma in this episode description makes it seem like I _am_ ’s hobo disaster. Listen and decide for yourself, I guess.

"ACKSHUALLY, the new 'Magic Mike' is about the evils of zoning and historical preservation committees" is the most on-brand take imaginable

People have been complaining about the State of the Union being a petty laundry list for a long time, but using it to complain about concert ticket service fees and resort fees is a new low
