The Best One Yet - 💆‍♀️ “2-night stay at our store (Butler included)” — Christian Dior’s fancified flagship. Disney+’s new-boss-old-boss. Boomflation’s triple crown.

The newest store from Christian Dior isn’t just a luxurious fashion flagship — it has a hotel, spa, and butler too. We noticed a trend: Streamers are launching bundled versions with ads. Which looks a lot like cable. And the monthly Jobs Report just hit the hat trick triple crown — that means Boomflation. Boooooooooooom. $CHDRY $LVMUY $DIS Got a SnackFact?

Everything Everywhere Daily - Why Wasn’t the Wheel Invented Sooner?

If you were to ask most people what the very first invention that humans came up with is, many of them might say the wheel. 


It isn’t a bad guess, but believe it not, the wheel was nowhere close to being the first invention. 


In fact, as far as we know, there were a whole bunch of things that were invented before the wheel, and in fact, probably had to have been invented before the wheel.


Learn more about why the wheel wasn’t invented sooner, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Daniel Chirot, “You Say You Want a Revolution?: Radical Idealism and Its Tragic Consequences” (Princeton UP, 2020)

Why have so many of the iconic revolutions of modern times ended in bloody tragedies? And what lessons can be drawn from these failures today, in a world where political extremism is on the rise and rational reform based on moderation and compromise often seems impossible to achieve? In You Say You Want a Revolution?: Radical Idealism and Its Tragic Consequences (Princeton University Press, 2020), Daniel Chirot examines a wide range of right- and left-wing revolutions around the world--from the late eighteenth century to today--to provide important new answers to these critical questions.

From the French Revolution of the eighteenth century to the Mexican, Russian, German, Chinese, anticolonial, and Iranian revolutions of the twentieth, Chirot finds that moderate solutions to serious social, economic, and political problems were overwhelmed by radical ideologies that promised simpler, drastic remedies. But not all revolutions had this outcome. The American Revolution didn't, although its failure to resolve the problem of slavery eventually led to the Civil War, and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe was relatively peaceful, except in Yugoslavia. From Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia to Algeria, Angola, Haiti, and Romania, You Say You Want a Revolution? explains why violent radicalism, corruption, and the betrayal of ideals won in so many crucial cases, why it didn't in some others--and what the long-term prospects for major social change are if liberals can't deliver needed reforms.

Daniel Chirot is the Herbert J. Ellison Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies at the University of Washington.

The Daily Signal - City Punishes Pub Owner for Opposing COVID Mandates

Government mandates and authoritarian COVID-19 rules have crushed small businesses in America. In the nation’s capital alone, hundreds of restaurants are now closed. Others are struggling to make ends meet.


Despite all the happy talk from President Joe Biden in last week's State of the Union address, some businesses will never recover. For every Democrat politician who is suddenly abandoning COVID mandates, there are scores of shattered businesses left in their wake.


For nearly two years, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Council have invoked emergency powers—imposing mask mandates for schools and businesses and requiring restaurants to check customers’ vaccine status.


A few courageous Washington, D.C., business owners spoke at The Heritage Foundation last week about the city's restrictive COVID rules. They've felt the effects firsthand.


One of them is Eric Flannery, a Navy veteran and co-owner of The Big Board on H Street NE in Washington, D.C. Flannery and his lawyer, Robert Alt, president and CEO of The Buckeye Institute, joined "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain why they're fighting for The Big Board's survival in a city where political leaders have amassed unprecedented power.
