Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
We may be approaching the spookiest day of the year, but it's the government that give grownups nightmares on all the rest of them. California isn't ordinarily a place where suspenseful midterms happen, though our first guest Lanhee Chen has something to say about that. Running to be the Golden State's top fiscal watchdog, he's getting dangerously close to becoming the boogeyman for California's bureaucratic spendthrifts. (Support his campaign here!)
Next we have John Yoo. Now that the Supreme Court has entered a new term, we revisit Dobbs and wonder about Moore v. Harper and The Students for Fair Admissions case against Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill. Pork is also on the docket–and the McRib is in the news!–so John delivers an elegy on cuisine at its finest. There's even a murder plot...
Two segments filled with so many treats, we hardly had time for tricks. We decided to let Elon Musk handle that for us this week; but, of course, the hosts have some thoughts on that too.
Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Rob Long, with guests JYJohn Yoo and Lanhee Chen

Funny "McRib" story, a few years ago, the first time I'd been to a Dairy Queen in years/decades, back in Phoenix, I tried some kind of caramel apple tart dessert, with ice cream and caramel sauce. It was great! Next time I tried to get one, they said it was discontinued. So I went on the DQ web site to see if any other locations in my area still had it. And I found that only one DQ, at some airport I think in Bahrain, still offered it.

James, it's not a remora, it's an Alien face-hugger.

RE: The McRib - I'm guessing it's going to be a like an Eagles Farewell tour.

I have a better idea. Distribute the Plan B pill widely and have no restrictions. Start there. The abortion rate drops 20% instantly and you get more GOP votes.
