So, for seven years I have been building a real community online. When I say “real community”, I mean that together we share and strive for a common good: strengthening the habits by which we discover and communicate the truth. Last month, I was privileged to meet many of these people face-to-face for the first time. Along with many of our Faculty and some friends, members of the Lyceum came out to St. Louis for our first conference. It was a small gathering, but profound. It revealed the depth of relations we had formed, the vitality of that common good. Felt a touch overwhelmed, at times, to see so many friends turn up from far and wide so that we could have deep conversations about important questions. We are continuing to build our community. Visit our website (lyceum.institute) to learn about our many and growing educational programs. And if you want to see this initiative succeed—to see it continue its growth from the experiment I started 7 years ago into a lasting institution much larger than me—consider making a donation: lyceum.institute/beyond

Much stronger case even than the sea shell one.

"Today, the Big Five publishers are staffed almost entirely by women. According to the most recent data, more than 70 percent of staffers are women. More than 70 percent of editors are women. Even 70 percent of all interns are women. At the executive level, more than 60 percent of leaders are women. In 2026, American publishing looks like lululemon."

So much beauty in this world and still there are dipshits that can even conceptualize harming children and animals, and then using that harm to create even more harm through blackmail???? Do you need a hobby????

A friend today sent word to me from Paris--spotted on the shelves at Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin.

STEVEN DELAY'S "THIS PRESENT WORLD" One can know something without being able to prove it to others. For what does one acquire by proving to others what one already knew aside from the fact that one already indeed knew what one did? And so it is with knowledge of God.

Four works in Christian existentialism--Before God, In the Spirit, Faint Not, This Present World.

Why will Congress have worked only nine full days between July 1st and the Election? I used a nearly-forgotten parliamentary rule to claim time on the floor and give this speech on the ninth day.

🚨 Annie Altman responds to allegations from Sam Altman that she is mentally unwell and is only suing him for money: "We've seen this play before where there is one person talking about someone's actions, and the other person responds by making allegations about mental health." "There have been zero comments about my actions because those would only show me being mentally sound."

This is our home Ohio, this is my home. My entire family molded who I am on the streets and the cityscapes of this place. I love this place. What Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton represent is a rejection of what made Ohio great. They represent a rejection of everything that made it possible for me to be able to live a good life. Let’s send them packing on November 3rd and elect @VivekGRamaswamy and @JonHusted.

17 State Attorneys General have signed a letter supporting passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II that @RepRoKhanna, @RepTeresaLF, & I introduced. We’re just 2 signatures short of forcing this to a floor vote. I believe we’ll get them soon. spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisvi…

A wonderful capstone to Thiel’s lectures in Nashville with @realpamphleteer American culture is worth fighting for. It will take hard work, some of our labors may not be rewarded, but in the end it is right and just. God’s will shall prevail. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

17 State Attorneys General sent House and Senate leadership a letter in support of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. EFTA II is an unfortunate necessity to achieve transparency and accountability since @TheJusticeDept failed to uphold EFTA I.
