Substack is 100% doing another round of big cash payouts for reputation laundering. A fair number of people accepting that money aren't hurting for it so I'm not clear on why they're doing it. BTW, if you're still on Substack, why, but also, here's a resource to get off: leavesubstack.com

I wrote about Naomi Klein joining Substack and why writers of conscience shouldn't launch new media ventures on platforms that court white supremacy for clicks.

People are really just out there blaming anyone but the billionaires actually responsible for every crisis we're dealing with.

I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ? TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged LANDERS: It wasn't though TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know? LANDERS: Your own AG said it TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

Man, it's going to really help my budget when I completely drop Marvel Legends and G.I. Joe Classified.

Someone please tell the CEO of Hasbro that separating the art from the artist doesn’t count when you’re paying the artist (this is about JK Rowling btw)

My next online talk will be a look at The Folklore of Ancient Buildings. I'm especially interested in how archaeologists and folklorists have worked together to interpret the evidence for traditional beliefs in ancient buildings... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-folklo...

I did it, I went to the Jack Kirby exhibit at the Skirball Center in LA today and it was incredible. I took photos of everything. My senses got overloaded such that at one point I just had to sit down for a minute. Totally worth the trip.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

This is how you tell the truth about Israel, genocide, complicity, AND sport.

The Swiss commentator is telling viewers about Israel’s war crimes that the team’s pilot has openly supported while the Israeli bobsleigh team is racing.

To be clear: punching Neil Gaiman in the face is still excusable and encouraged.

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

500,000 women: hey we all got assaulted by neil gaiman. here's details everybody: jesus, neil gaiman, what the fuck neil gaiman: neil gaiman: neil gaiman: [two years pass] neil gaiman: neil gaiman: neil gaiman: actually uhhh it was a smear campaign. didn't happen

Almost 300 people that I follow, still follows Neil Gaiman. Why the fuck would you still be following that piece of shit?

Neil Gaiman chose a really bad week to pop in to say that he, an insanely wealthy and powerful man, couldn’t possibly have done a bunch of sex crimes. The timing is so bad that I half-expect him to show up in the next batch of Epstein files.

Neil Gaiman has returned to the Internet to signal boost a Substack 'investigation' by an independent journalist known as "technopathology" which apparently proves his innocence the main thing it proves is technopathology needs an editor.

Somebody let Dr. Van Helsing know that some imbecile pulled the stake out of Neil Gaiman.

Thus, in sum, furthermore FUCK NEIL GAIMAN INTO THE SUN Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Bold of Neil Gaiman to try this shit. Especially right now.

Neil Gaiman should never be readmitted to polite society. A man with that much money and power, actively putting up a smokescreen of progressivism to conceal his predation, can never be trusted.

Oh, look, Neil Gaiman is still an asshole.

furthermore, fuck Neil Gaiman

In Neil Gaiman’s “I did nothing wrong ever” statement he says there’s been no good journalism about him or his assaults. There has been, of course. Thing is, he said the same thing in 2018 when @moryan.bsky.social reported on issues behind the scenes on American Gods www.moryan.com/a-burn-it-do...

There is a threat to Minneapolis so extreme that *every child in the city* has been forced to stay home from school. That threat does not come from immigrants. There has only been one murder in Minneapolis in 2026. It was federal agents' killing of a 37 year-old US citizen/mother in her minivan.

All republicans voted down a subpoena of all records and footage related to the murder of Renee Good by ICE agent

Total Toy Books latest release 'Star Wars Toys- The Palitoy Saga' has just landed, beautiful books, especially the slipcase edition. My contribution is a look at the influence of Star Wars and 2000 AD on each other and further afield in British comics. If you have backed this, you are in for a treat

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

The U.S. withdrawal from NATO and the U.N. will be announced in this way, if things continue as they are going.
