This was, ultimately, the point of substack: throw money at reactionary bloggers, claim that this is a new media and not just fissioning off the clicky bits from legacy publications, then let the price of media giants drop enough for all the worst people to buy them up and install their media pets.
lol substack's cofounder has a new post claiming the sale of weiss' grievance blog—which substack heavily promoted & shares an investor w (technofash goob marc andreessen)—proves the platform offers "an immense opportunity for ambitious new media founders to build a new generation of institutions."

I think a lot about this ages-ago gonzo @carolinehaskins.bsky.social essay on AirPods and how it is still right www.vice.com/en/article/a...
AirPods Are a Tragedy
Apple claims that AirPods are building a “wireless future.” Many people think they're a symbol of disposable wealth. The truth is bleaker.

And the reason why I keep banging on about it is because the politics we get if more of us understand this technological shift and its implications is a hell of a lot better than what we get if we think that we have to protect ourselves from privation and suffering, even if it means dooming others.

My level of optimism or pessimism about whether any particular group of humans will get their act together and actually do it varies by the day. But that it’s now physically and technologically possible to transition to renewables and to use that energy to close materials loops isn’t in doubt.

Do you know about my most recent book, Support Craft? It was nominated for the Cartoonist Studio Prize and flattered by Thomas Campbell as “one of the biggest surprises I’ve come across in comics in quite some time.” You can get it here, at Parsifal Press.

Left or right, what strikes me is just the total male domination of this chart.
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

i coordinate a reading program like this at my local elementary school. it does make a big difference and everyone gets something out of it
Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now.
Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.
