I didn't realize how bad Substack was. I unsubscribed my only two newsletters there. I enjoyed them too, but nope.

The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

I spent last Saturday and yesterday cleaning out my friend's house (we made a small dent). It's mentally and physically exhausting emptying out a person's life.

I have a friend in the hospital. She's been there awhile and will be there for who knows how long (f*ck cancer). Her FMLA will run out soon and she's got bills to pay. I feel so hopeless in how to help her. She's the friend who brings other friends together.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and inspiration, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

I'm stoked for America 250. I'm less stoked that the person in charge will make it about him. I'm mystified that a singer got supposed death threats for performing at the concert. I'm super liberal but I see this concert to celebrate the anniversary & not the person in charge. Am I being naive?

Here's the thing we Americans need to understand. If the American experiment fails, it won't be because we had bad policies or bad laws in comparison to our European neighbors. It's because fundamentally, we the people failed to reconcile the worst of us with the best of us and we let the worst win.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.
