NEW: Headlines from DRJ
Newcomers might not realize that our friend DRJ used to be a guest poster here, many many moons ago. She has agreed to post headlines without commentary so that there will be more interesting topics to comment on here. I have posted the first one below so you can see what they will look like: pretty much a headline and a quote without commentary. I’m thrilled to have her keen eye searching out interesting topics. Please welcome her back as a sorta kinda blogger but not really.
The headlines will likely not be cross-posted at The Jury, I think. If you want to comment on them, that will have to take place here at the main site.
Thanks to both you and DRJ.

Time123 (353edd) — 5/17/2019 @ 8:55 amWithout exception, going back now well over a decade and a half on both my own blog and yours, I have found anything that interests DRJ to also be of interest to me. This is a great idea and a boon to your blog and its readers & commenters, Patterico. Congratulations!

There are various things to say about what is in the articles.

Mu hope is that Patterico does not become another aggregate site. Ugh.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 5/17/2019 @ 4:39 pmI have been reading the blog for quite a while. I am going to dissent from the majority opinion here and say that this is not an improvement. DRJ has always seemed a bit too sickly sweet passive aggressive for my tastes, while JVW, for instance, seems fairly forthright. Their politics differ, of course, but I enjoyed reading Dustinās comments while he was here. I didnāt agree with him, but he advocated transparently.
Bellman (c5f2e6) — 5/17/2019 @ 7:17 pmI like JVW and Dustin, too, Bellman, and thanks for the feedback since you probably won’t be reading my stuff much.
DRJ (15874d) — 5/17/2019 @ 8:54 pmEh, who knows DRJ.
Bellman (fc5c41) — 5/17/2019 @ 9:20 pmWelcome back to posting.
