I went to Substack controls to cancel the Free Press, which has become very disappointing. The straw that broke the camel’s back was an article on the Catholic Case for War with Iran, which might have risen to the level of sophistry if its premises hadn’t been lies, half truths, or post-hoc speculation.

When I got to the controls, I decided that what I really needed to do was to turn off notifications for the threads that have been consistently bad. There are a few remaining that justify the subscription, like Eli Lake on history, Coleman Hughes, Ruy Teixeira, and even Martin Gurri.
