the quoted post here is naive for the obvious reason that starting a business is hard but also people are not subscribing to currently existing and incorporated companies! If there were tons of readers begging for ways to spend money then places like 404 Media wouldn't have like 5 total employees
People keep saying this and let me tell you, as one of way too many freelancers without a steady job, it is annoying!

a fun thing about doing research for a history blog is stumbling on stuff like this fucking demented plan for a 4th of July Party (from "Parties for Young Americans", 1940). I apologize for posting 6 real pages from a book but try reading this and not picturing a Get Out-style descent into madness

Say what you will about Dick Cheney, but a lot of republicans talked big about leaving if Zohran won and he actually did it

Good thread discussing some of the wider Elvis mania of the time
Beyond the punchlines, "Elvis is alive" was a pre-internet conspiracy theorist's rabbit hole that largely synced w/race.
Oodles of white people lustily worshipped a rock-n-roll hero who ganked his sound fr lesser-known Black music icons.

not to boil it down to "one thing" but to me the most upsetting thing about the Graham Platner story is how many people are mad at journalists for doing their job. You can't be pro journalism and also smearing journalists because they did rudimentary background investigations of a guy you like

Imo you can feel good about the No Kings protest without a sneering disdain for the people doing it. "Good for those idiots" is not a savvy take, it just makes you sound like someone primarily concerned with your persona as a hardened poster
