Folks wouldn't have a problem catching MAHA Blast if they'd been doing their RFKegels.

How good of a chance do y'all think I'll have inviting pals over to watch LAFC matches once the World Cup is over?

People of America, the literary event of the century is happening this Thursday! Please join me and @sachajudd.com as we discuss fandoms, donuts, families, why no one can get a job, and the importance of washing dishes. It’s a good hang! Somehow this is all free. www.eventbrite.com/e/1990820294...

Been reading “On The Road” for the first time in ages and while Kerouac can turn a phrase, Dean Moriarty is the most intolerable AuDHD motherfucker in the world and I might actually hate him.

I've got an old 12TB external (Western Digital, outside of warranty) that is clearly dying. Who's the plug for HDDs?

@hibf.bsky.social Would y'all be interested in the audit log data we managed to get from the CPRA request we sent to the City of Bakersfield, CA? archive.org/details/bake...

I also make a browser extension for Firefox and Chromium derivatives. For when you wanna look at something on Substack but not send them any actual traffic: github.com/anticapitali...

Hi there! I label Substack posts. I know that there's another labeler that already does this. But I publish what I catch as filter lists. Point uBlock Origin or your Pi-hole at these and (hopefully) never look at Substack again: kys.makersfield.co/substack-fil... kys.makersfield.co/substack-hos...

Running an extension like #KillYrSubstack isn't for everybody. So I made a uBlock Origin filter list that nukes 14k+ custom Substack domains, plus `*.substack.com`. You can just set it and forget it: kys.makersfield.co/substack-fil...

People who’ve been laid off aren’t victims of a natural disaster. Their story has a villain. They don’t need your pity, they need your help plotting revenge.

Made a QR code for the non-profit I volunteer with this morning and just remembered this lil PSA: Don't search "QR code generator". You'll almost always land on some site that gives you one that dies after a week or 10 uses or whatever unless you pay up. Use this instead: justaqrcode.com

Just a QR Code

I put this up years ago as a reminder to make shit when I’m unhappy with the state of things instead of spending all day complaining online. It doesn’t always work. A lot of my favorite projects have started with me saying “well this fucking sucks” tho.

A neobank I used to use had this great feature: open their app while you're taking a phone call and an undismissible banner would take over the upper third. "We're not calling you. If someone says they're from [neobank], hang up." Honestly, every other bank should copy it.

Even though he technically died in 1994, I'm going to have to say John Candy.

You're Gen X. You can bring back one thing from the 80s. What is it?

Anybody want to beta test an ad blocker filter list that targets ~14k Substack sites running on custom domains AND everything at `*.substack.com`? HMU!

The more I think about it, the more I realize that snobs are doing something useful. Having strong opinions is a form of caring. And caring about quality is genuinely rare right now.

A "recruiter" reached out about a dev advocate role at Automattic. Their (clearly) AI written response listed comp at $750,000 to $900,000+. Sure. Absolutely. Very real email, I'm sure.

Checking DNS records on ~179m domains for… reasons. #KillYrSubstack

Maybe this will help:

Once again; if you are telling us we need to fight fascism, and you are telling us this on Substack, you are literally telling us to do something you’re not willing to do yourself. Spine the fuck up.

I shared that I was thinking about killing the Latin option on Hipsum yesterday and someone from a single IP in the UK (176.25.80.54) sent almost 3000 requests.

Girl! I wanna take you to the Zabar's I wanna take you to the Zabar's I wanna take you to the Zabar's, Zabar's, Zabar's

Quiet (but big) release on Monday. #KillYrSubstack now ships with a Ghost Archive option for folks who'd rather not send traffic to `archive.is`. github.com/anticapitali...

Shout out to LinkedIn for sending me a job posting for the same position (that has never actually been accepting applications) every single day this past week. 🙃

Thinking of moving hipsum.co off of #WordPress. Mostly because running an ipsum generator on WP in 2026 feels lowkey ridiculous. I kinda don't want to spend time building out the hipsum+latin bit on the new site tho. 😅

You can make a mortadella banh mi if you wish. It is legal, and it is socially acceptable.

Anyone interested in trying a version of #KillYrSubstack that allows you to change the archiver from `archive.is` to Ghost Archive? I'll probably have something ready to test either tonight or tomorrow morning. HMU if you're down!
