If you're still on Substack but want to make the move elsewhere, I highly recommend Ghost. Email [email protected] and they'll take care of virtually everything. If you're worried about hanging onto subscribers, they kept everything in place from the old place. I've added 100+ new ones today.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Several years ago I stopped by Jones Bar-B-Q in Marianna, Arkansas on the way to visit my parents. Today, @atlasobscura.com newsletter included their post on Jones Bar-B-Q, featuring a couple photos I took on my visit. www.atlasobscura.com/places/jones...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is called a reframe.The focus is being shifted from the beliefs of the person in question to how they were exposed. The absolutism make little sense if you think about it - what if a reporter exposes crimes? What’s a “bad dude”? The goal is for moral outrage to cloud rational thought.

If a journalist doing their job, reporting important news, leads to someone being fired then maybe, that person shouldn’t have held the job in the first place? Also yesterday it was that little Twitler Youth resigned but today he was fired? Isn’t Twitler his boss? So who fired him?

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Elon Musk is a Nazi. Full stop. Substack is supporting and endorsing a Nazi, days after that Nazi told the world he was proud to be a Nazi. Decent people have got to leave Substack. Please. I'll follow you wherever you go, and I'm happy to give you my money wherever you land.

I deleted my Substack account today. It’s easy to do. There are other platforms if you’re looking to publish newsletters. @buttondown.com and @beehiiv.com are just two examples of good ones.

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week. These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

FFS he’s not the GD president yet. Can all of these people stop talking to him until they have to?

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
