Kicking Off a New Era of Powerful Takes
As announced this Friday, I am leaving The Unz Review.
Nothing is set in stone. I am considering various alternatives, from resurrecting my website as an active blog, to more exotic Web 3.0 options, such as urbit, where a WordPress clone might be ready as early as EOY. However, I suspect that most of my future writings, at least in the medium-term, will be on this Substack.
As such, if you’re interested in following my work, I would suggest you:
The frequency of new posts will drop, as befits what will now be more of a “newsletter” than a “blogging” format, though I will continue posting weekly Open Threads (henceforth, Open Takes) to serve as a focal point for the community that has aggregated around my scribblings. Going forwards, I will also be privileging “effortposts” such as longreads and book reviews, while shorter content will henceforth be relegated to Twitter.
Paying subscribers will receive additional benefits. I will work out the details in 2-3 weeks’ time.
Meanwhile, welcome to the first Open Takes on Powerful Takes!
