Bits worthwhile on Wednesday, but there&#8217;s been little content since.  Licking wounds, perhaps, but I&#8217;m wondering if I made a mistake heading back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, I&#8217;ve spent more money on a not-so-good dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>When I cut stuff off, I fell deeper into <em><a href=\"https:\/\/wethefifth.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Fifth Column<\/a><\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Moynihan had a good column on the fall of <a href=\"https:\/\/open.substack.com\/pub\/bariweiss\/p\/how-vice-tanked-6-billion-to-bankruptcy?utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vice News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheFP<\/a>.
