I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

Happened to find this - it's a useful little website if you A) want to know why you should drop Substack and B) want a list of alternatives.

A couple also have tools to import your old SS posts over.

this is a very good and incredibly sad piece about Canadian national treasure Robert Munsch, the author of phenomenal children's books Angela's Airplane, the Paper Bag Princess, Thomas's Snowsuit, and many others

Munsch has dementia. Fuck dementia.
