You may have noticed that while the vibes in San Francisco are fucked beyond all belief, Oakland is still good and chill. We dispatched @redford.bsky.social to make sense of it. www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/the-great-vi...

The great vibes divergence

Why does San Francisco feel so weird during this tech boom while Oakland is more or less still Oakland?

What gets you booted from Substack? Andrew Tate still seems to have a newsletter there while charged with: 10 counts of rape, 3 of trafficking for sexual exploitation, 3 of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, & making/distributing indecent images of a child. possessing extreme pornography.

I cannot imagine in 2026, with the full breadth of the internet available to you, choosing to move your newsletter to substack. There are so many other platforms out there that don't directly put money in the pockets of fascists.

It sucks to come across an event that looks possibly cool for the @coyotemedia.org calendar and seeing that they clearly used AI generated art for the flyer. I don't put those on the list. There are SO many events out there, I can skip the ones that don't care about the lives and work of artists.

Catching up on the Kentucky/Louisville match and at what point in the season are the announcers going to stop endlessly talking about DeLeye's torn meniscus last season, I stg they mention it at least 5 times every match. Please come up with something else to talk about.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

I say this both as a disabled person and as someone who does disability studies, we don't get to be uncritical of the technologies that use our bodies and identities to silence dissent around Big Tech, even if they are useful for some of us. Thats not how any of this works.

“I have really thought it was responsible,” Currier told me. I asked Currier about privacy concerns around Meta glasses; he told me he was not “real invested in knowing what any sort of policy or answer should be moving forward,” but feels the positives outweigh the negatives.

I am so so so glad that Paulina Borsook is getting a moment, and having her work republished and discussed and seen for how important it was and is. I would also love folks in tech journalism to perhaps think about who today's Borsook is. Or at the very least, who else has been overlooked.

"It feels very frustrating to me that people will say whatever, we need to curtail the abuses but the thing itself is fine, while not actually understanding or taking a bigger look back at who’s being surveilled, what it looks like to be surveilled, what the goals of that surveillance might be."

Depends a little bit on exactly what you're looking for (purely emails sent out to people? a more website/blog-like experience?) but there are SO many guides to this and all the options out there. Here's a good list from Buttondown (a great option in and of itself) buttondown.com/alternatives

Anyway, every time I see a new person start a Substack I feel bone deep despair because if folks can't even make a simple choice to not pick the worst newsletter distributor then I don't see how we can rely on them to do anything.

Reo Eveleth @reveleth.com · 15/09/2026

But STARTING a Substack? Now? After all we know about that platform? The way it promotes and supports Nazis, transphobes, racists, etc? If you wouldn't start a new Twitter account to promote your thing, then why the fuck are you starting a Substack? There are so many alternatives?!

This is the core philosophy that undergirds my own approach to worldbuilding. Every world (including the one we live in right now!) is built of complex, interacting systems. Worldbuilding is choosing which systems to feature, how closely to examine them, and how to weigh their products and outcomes.
