Josh Blackman at The Volokh Conspiracy starts things off with I Can No Longer Rely On Uber
More recently, I've re-emerged into a post-pandemic world. Yet, I've found Uber increasingly unreliable. Consistently, I am not able to find rides, and when I can, the fares are surged.

The Other McCain - Aspiring Rapper Update: ‘Slowkey Fred’ Busted for Philly Gun Trafficking Ring
When I was a kid, Villa Rica was a rural crossroads on Bankhead Highway. The idea of this once-tranquil town being home to an interstate criminal conspiracy is just mind-boggling, but I guess that’s how “progress” works.
Mike Rowe - Off The Wall: Vacuuming in the Nude. His mother has a new book out.
I can’t tell you if my mother actually vacuums in the nude. If she does, I would prefer not to know. I can tell you that she has written a very funny book about the business of rejection, perseverance, encouragement, and the many things people do to get attention.
