Beats me why most dudes suck. Sure as hell ain't my scene.
What a tragedy that there was a poison leak at the ketamine factory, especially so soon after that team from Porton Down had gone to inspect it.

It's also a more nebulous platform, which really doesn't help writers set editing goals. A newspaper column, a podcast or a book each has a set length and detail level and directness. But so many substacks are simultaneously a blog, a transcribed podcast, and a serialised first draft of a book

Have a scroll through BBC Tees news, and then through the Teesside Gazette website, and think about which one is better for the news environment

If I had a time machine, I would use it to visit every translator in history and persuade each one in turn not to go too crazy with the rhyme and meter.

I like the idea that he hasn't noticed the cold weather has arrived, and now he's seeing black men wearing jackets. Soho has been suddenly invaded by roadmen, no doubt on their way to do a knifecrime, who will mysteriously vanish (probably to a mawkish ice cream parlour) when it gets warm again

Give him a few more months with Grok and he might genuinely get there. He's already generating artworks from the pure id of the internet, unmoored from any human consideration of what's aesthetic or funny. bsky.app/profile/jose...
AOC says we should pass campaign finance reform so everyone can “stop being so scared of what a billionaire man child thinks”.

Elon responds with a picture he generated by asking Grok for “images of AOC as sexy Pepe”.

We’re reaching levels of divorced dad misogyny previously unknown to science

Maybe not a coincidence that sex is one of the few things that you can't openly do on social media, so that drives the search for an angle that people *can* discuss on SM, and therefore into layers of meaning and subtext and symbols. Perhaps Bonnie Blue is avant-garde in her own bleak and tawdry way

This is something I've been thinking about too! It's slim pickings, for sure. Genuinely, someone like Aella (of the infamous Sankey diagram fame) is maybe the only kind of person who is putting on a life performance that is genuinely avant culture's garde.

To be fair, they said the global village would make the world smaller. They just failed to specify how small
