Saturday assorted links

1. Very nice Spectator coverage of Conversations with Tyler; I believe the author is an undergraduate. My favorite sentence was “He embodies the American work ethic.”

2. The guy who creates the Planet Money economics videos on TikTok (NYT).

3. Ivermectin efficacy continues to completely fail in the more serious studies. Here are further words of wisdom. This one’s a wrap, and has been for some time now.

4. Very close relatives to Covid-19 found in bats in Laos. Lowers the probability of the “gain of function” hypotheses.

5. Good Nathaniel Popper thread on NFTs.

6. The Pfizer pill is now more available (Bloomberg).
