Oh yay! I'm rounding up the 'best of' posts for my December newsletter, and will add this to the 2022 list. In the future, perhaps Substack can also do a year end "movers and shakers" type list, where you share the top 10 most subscribed newsletters in the network for that year?
I LOVE Jade Rivera's new newsletter about cognitive diversity. Neurodiversity in K12 students is something we all need to know about in order to shape better educational options for our kids and the leaders of tomorrow.
I’m a big fan of Cafe Anne. Her recent post about two NYC bagel shops operating right next to each other was full of funny characters and I learned quite a lot about the bagel business too.
Thank you for curating great content that I might not have seen were it not for you. The diversity is mind-boggling. Amazing. Joining the Substack family has been the best single thing I've done this year. Here's to a great 2023 ... for all of us.
When Princess Diana got to Buckingham Palace for the first time, she found Prince Charles Chasing, Gay Footmen around the Long Corridors; playing Grab the Gonads. The Head of Palace Security was openly Gay, and Diana promptly Sacked him. The Source for this gossip was one of the Palace Chefs.
Charles defended ,by letter , a Paedophile Scottish Bishop. Also He and Camilla have never had any Known Children; even though he "Knew" Camilla long before he met Diana ,and now they are King and Consort. He had William and Harry as an "Heir and a Spare" ; and Stopped when he had done his Duty.
When Harry met Meghan the UK Tabloids fell on Meghan like a Shoal of Piranha, because she was Coloured. Diana was murdered because she was in a Relationship with Dodi Fayed; a Cofee Coloured Egyptian.
Appreciate the great year of curated reads & thank you for putting this together! It’s interesting that the top two (I know link guessing isn’t an exact science) haven’t posted since the summer. Not sure what that says about the challenges of writing a great newsletter (or if it says anything at all), but I found it curious because clearly those writers were getting a solid audience, at least on those pieces.
You’re the best source of objective journalism to be found today! Thanks for enlightening us daily!

My writer/comedian friend Nick Holland recently launched a Substack and his first post is about AI art. Love his writing style and perspective

Really enjoy this list...especially the insightful and nuanced writing of @DanT.
Thought I'd share my most popular post of the year: an explanation why I will never, ever visit Channel Islands National Park: https://noonatthepark.substack.com/p/i-will-never-ever-visit
The Reality of the Individual Life
by John Koethe
As one who thinks of poetry
As a way of talking to yourself,
I probably do too much explaining,
But that’s what talking to yourself is like:
The things you can’t explain to anyone
Are suddenly made clear to no one, as though
Nobody mattered but yourself. And it’s the same
For each of us, whether you’re listening to me or not:
An enveloping cloud of not-quite-language
Hovering on the verge of sense that puts you
At the center of a world that doesn’t quite get you,
But of which you’re part, a world in which
Each individual life is so completely ordinary
And at the same time so extraordinary it never ends
Until it does: each individual life eternity
In miniature; each life a world.
Yet here I am, lying on my bed
In the middle of the day, feeling the years
Tick by with nothing much to say about them,
As though I’m supposed to. That’s the point though,
Isn’t it? Without the sense of an individual self
Creating time and bounded by it, I wouldn’t be real,
I wouldn’t matter, nor would you, despite our
Sentiments and appetites and dreams. It’s how we
Differ from our animals, however much we love them —
Something you and I know, but Daisy, sleeping
At the foot of my bed, can’t know. Dream on, Daisy.
I spend more time writing comments on others’ ‘stacks than writing posts. There is so much great writing on this platform.

I tend to spend time reading spiritual posts and commenting on them.Noone as of yet,has subscribed to my publication,"David's Newsletter."
We have solutions to these problems if we want them. Transparency. Decentralization. And all of us collaborating back as problem solvers. https://joshketry.substack.com/p/worried-about-voter-fraud-lets-build
