If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

Oh hey, thanks!

Two of my worlds coming together in unexpected and unsettling ways

know I’m AI-posting a lot today, but holy shit read the linked lawsuit for this. this is probably the worst of these so far, by far (contingent on the brief being accurate, which isn’t guaranteed). the other ones were people with existing ideation not being stopped, this actively pushed him.

And yeah, I get it, you have an established subscriber base and change is scary, but talking about how the old Nazi bar is bad while the new bar owner is malevolently grinning as he polishes an Iron Cross etched shot glass really ain’t it

This is important information but also goddammit people, you need to leave substack, you are assisting in The Horrors

Tired: Opening Day in 23 days

What games came out when you were 12?

THIS is how i find out we are the exact same age

The best part about baseball starting is every day is a chance for a new group of people to find out The Roundtable was cancelled and ruin their day. This is something that happens with all podcasts that are unpopular enough to cancel.

A Complimentary Profile Of Jason Lee That Was Surprisingly Difficult To Publish | Defector If you walked down Colorado Boulevard in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles at some point in the past three years, you might have noticed a modest, pueblo-style beige building with “PHOTO” painted above its door. And if you had decided to go in, there was a decent chance you’d know the pers…

This @defector.com story is a good (non-political) example of why it’s not enough to have a bunch of individual reporters with newsletters running around. You need some kind of institution with the resources (and principles) to publish despite legal threats. defector.com/a-complimentar…

This has me crying in real life 😂😂😂

A plaque on a door that says "FIVE-TIMERS CLUB"

A bit behind on my guest tracking, but I want to give a belated welcome to AJ Cassavell as the 65th member of the @ewpod.bsky.social Five-Timers Club!

Not only that but hopping around on the video timeline always de-syncs the audio, it's a nightmare

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Tell. Them.

I collected EVERY room in Blue Prince in 2 hours and 47 minutes.

Id like to announce I am becoming mr. indie
