A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

"Time for annual review. First, the standard question: Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?"

"I have quit this job. I work at a consultancy called "No #Slop", rebuilding and fixing non-maintainable #Vibe coded systems.

There is way too much job for us, we work overtime to make sure critical infrastructure is working so society does not collapse. The pay is amazing, I make so much money, but the stress...

I drink fancy drinks and drive fast, expensive cars. I don't drink now, but 5 years from now, I guess I gonna have to. I have taken onto doing this to distract myself from the horrors at work. Regular people envy me, those that got fired because #AI slop was all they knew how to create, hate me.

Every night, I secretly cry myself to sleep, knowing I have become what I hate, what I promised myself I should never become. I am rich, I have everything, but really, I have nothing. No life, no real joy...

Please, help me prevent this future from becoming my reality"

Israeli soldiers have been looting civilian property on a large scale from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon with the knowledge of their commanders, Haaretz reported on Thursday.

As Israeli troops leave Lebanon, they openly load stolen goods onto their vehicles without attempting to conceal them.

Today is an important anniversary.

75 years ago, on April 23, 1951, in Farmville, VA, Barbara Johns led a walkout of her segregated high school to protest the unfair and deplorable conditions of her school.

What?! You don’t know who Barbara Johns was?

She led her walkout more than 4 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus, and before MLK, Jr. embraced nonviolence as the way to equality. After she and her classmates turned the rural town of Farmville upside down . . .

There’s no such thing as “parental rights.” There is only parents exercising their child’s rights in trust until they reach the age of majority.

As parents, we have a duty to seriously consider what our children want and value when exercising those rights, and to confine our activities to what the child themselves would approve of.

Failing to do so seems to be a demonstration of bad-faith and exploitation. You don’t get extra rights to control government policy simply by having kids.
