I created a SubStack, THE RATES OF WRATH, for my work on insurance in Oklahoma. The page will grow in the months to come to include interviews, reviews, and accounts from industry whistleblowers.

I hope you will consider signing up to support this work.

If anyone here is dealing with misophonia, reach out to me. I had a conversation today with two parents on my 9’s soccer team about their dr in Provo, Utah that gave me chills, in a wonderful way. #misophonia #Neurology

This obituary of David Lynch was one of the last things I wrote for the Independent. I was hoping they wouldn’t need to use it for a long time.

Rarely is the question asked: But does Read have other plans?
