1. The suburban YIMBY movement (NYT).

2. Chess Fever, a Soviet silent movie.  27 minutes, Buster Keaton-style.

3. Angus Deaton makes a nationalist turn.

4. Is Silicon Valley pricing academics out of AI research?  (I hope so.)

5. List of names you cannot give your Icelandic daughter (sorry Abigail! Aisha eventually was approved, though).  For men, they have banned Fabio, but not Elmer.  I believe in laissez-faire for names, but if you are going to ban anything, surely Elmer is worth some consideration?

6. Are Florida voters tiring of the culture wars?

7. “Mr. Musk has not hired any staff for his foundation, tax filings show. Its billions are handled by a board that consists of himself and two volunteers, one of whom reports putting in so little time that it averages out to six minutes per week.” (NYT, quite possibly he is doing this well?)
