Other platforms, like Ghost and Beehiiv, may also do this, and if folks have details for that please tack them on. There is simply no excuse to stay on Substack. You know what they stand for.

Need to migrate your list? Let us do it. No matter how large your list is, we'll switch you over for free.

I get that switching platforms can be a pain in the ass, but there’s help. Buttondown, for example, will do all your migration for you. For free. buttondown.com/features/con...

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

I don't even think it will do that πŸ˜… All evidence about these tunnels suggest it will either A) never get finished, or B) be a slow-moving trail of Teslas that is, at best, a novelty with no meaningful impact to traffic.

As a Nashville resident for decades, I want no part of this πŸ˜… We need better transit options to the airport, but this isn’t it. Feels like an escalation in the ongoing battle between the fairly blue city and the very red state.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

I also wish they would factor in the weakening of the dollar to determine if these numbers are actually better. Higher dollar value doesn't necessarily mean "up" from a few years ago.

screenshot of a Hacker News post complaining that Svelte is 'woke' because it emits accessibility warnings. It reads:

Why does svelte have to be this woke? Please let me write this first, i will figure out accessibility on my pace, svelte be like no, do this or we are not going to let you do it at all - we will fill your editor with warnings in a way that you can't see anything.

even by HN standards this is an all-timer

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

Watching movies in which heroes stand up for the little guy, do the unpopular brave thing simply because it is right, help those in need, are kind to people different from them, and grinding my teeth in frenzied rage at this political bias that is personally attacking me, a massive piece of shit.

Darth it’s almost like giving them jobs they’re not qualified for didn’t magically make them qualified for them.

β€œIn a new paper published earlier this year in the Journal of Marketing, we uncovered a surprising pattern: The more knowledge people have about AI and how it works, the less likely they are to embrace it.”

again, such a high level of analysis compared to your average political communication

β€œSuperman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

this is interesting and balanced research and it confirms my priors so i'm sharing it (h/t @jenvalentino.bsky.social)

but also it makes sense β€” LLMs speed up the typing part, which often feels like the bulk of the job, but is actually dwarfed by the thinking part. and these things don't think good

one of the things you hear a lot is β€œyeah but AI is genuinely useful for some tasks” and coding is almost always mentioned

We should all be yelling at our state officials about the complete insanity of posting vital emergency information *exclusively* on Twitter/X and/or Facebook in 2025.

There is absolutely NO good excuse for this.

Many, many people don’t use those platforms. Many never did.
