Look, I’m tech agnostic. Use what works for you! And still… I fucking hate Substack.

And the social aspect of Substack is almost certainly overrated! The reason people’s newsletters grow is because other authors mention them and link to them. That has *nothing* to do with the platform! Other platforms (Ghost, Beehiiv, Wordpress, Buttondown, Medium) have better economics, too.

Ghost is that platform. @theradr.bsky.social has written about how Ghost is an ethical nonprofit. It’s not that much of a pain. People like the convenience & social networking aspect of Substack. Then they try to convince themselves that’s more important than not giving a fucking inch to fascists.

My kid is into Big City Greens on Disney+ and they had an episode on misinformation and the internet. I was blown away. An excellent conversation starter. 9 yo: but *why* would people spread misinformation? And on purpose??? Me: … well, my sweet child. People are … assholes.

As I break up with social media, tech monopolies, and all in one tools, I'm reminded of the internet of old. It required a lot of effort to find what one was looking for. It was a simpler time. Not necessarily easier. But it was absolutely more enjoyable. More intentional. Ah. So this is 40.

Thank you for the @, Lex - escaping Google is difficult, but I am finding it worth the effort to try. I just gave up Workspace. Always happy to discuss! I'm more available on my Discord, but I pop in here occasionally (hence the late reply)

Astrology and capitalism go well together because their priorities both boil down to “doing business in the daytime.” There are dozens of ways this cross-contamination shows up in your astrological practice that you likely aren’t aware of. My workshop on Tuesday will fix that.

If anybody is worried about this, I will gladly play the role of "dude with the red string on the cork board" so you look sane by comparison. Because the reality is the richest person in the world is a nazi who snuck in at midnight to steal every American's data so he could shut down the government.

When people keep asking, “What can I do?” when referring to improving the state of the world, you can wear a mask. It’s one of the easiest ways to protect minorities and create community care. It also shows noncompliance. You want to be a revolutionary? Wear a mask!

Generative AI is essentially copy paste but with large datasets analyzed probabilistically. Maybe that's useful but it's not intelligence and doesn't justify the absurd amounts of investment it's attracted
