Don't Let It Go

I’m modifying my show schedule for the next while, both because of scheduling my interview with Dave Rubin (which is this Friday), and because of my upcoming move away from Southern California. I’m starting to get overwhelmed between moving logistics, doing shows and teaching my introductory logic class.

So: tomorrow I will not be having a show. Instead I’ll do a hangout for supporters/patrons/subscribers, at my usual showtime (2 p.m. ET). If you’d like to be included, pick the method of contributing that is most convenient for you:

Friday will be my interview with Dave Rubin about his new book: Don’t Burn this Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason (wow!) Make sure to not miss it by setting a reminder on YouTube:

Next Wednesday, May 13, I’ll be interviewing Ilya Somin about his new book: Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom, at my usual showtime (2 p.m. ET). And yes, I was inspired by my upcoming move 🙂

And after that, I’m not sure. I’ll do at least one show per week, hopefully on Wednesdays at my usual time. (That could depend on my guests’ schedules, as it did with Rubin.) But I may not do more than one per week until after I get settled in my new place later in June. So for now, I’m suspending the “None of the Above” series with James Valliant and focusing more on “Don’t Let It Go” shows.

Hope to see you tomorrow in the hangout; thanks for watching and for your support!

Yes, finally, the Yaron and Amy show returns! Today, after we catch up a little, we’ll talk about several power-grabs, actual or threatened, by various politicians during this time while everyone is (understandably) distracted by the threat of Coronavirus. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

UPDATE: The show was broadcast live on Yaron’s YouTube Channel; you can catch the replay here:

Are you a Patron/Subscriber/Supporter yet? If not, and you’d like to support my work, please do! (No, Yaron does not pay me, and I could use the help!) Bonuses include regular private Zoom hangouts, the ability to suggest future interview guests or questions for guests, and more TBD!

We’ve had weeks to work out solutions to these issues, and we could’ve done so if House and Senate leadership had allowed members to work on and debate today’s bill. Instead, they ignored members who asked for ways to deliberate remotely and negotiated this bill on their own.

Judge Timothy J. Kelly issued his opinion in United States v. Facebook late Thursday night. He’s now put into effect a settlement order in which the FTC & DOJ arguably will have warrantless access to your FB data for the next 20 years–or more. Read about it here:
