#OtD 2 Sep 1962 Oswald Mosley and his fascist blackshirts tried to hold a meeting in east London while the British National Party attempted to assemble nearby. Both were attacked by anti-fascist locals. Mosley's meeting collapsed and he fled www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...

This is such loser behavior man. It's never not remarkable to me how many people on Bluesky treat the platform like its primary purpose is as some public accountability referendum on morality, without realizing obsessive gatekeeping bullshit like this *IS* what's keeping people at bay.

Even putting aside the political stuff (which I obviously don't love) Substack didn't deliver on any of the stuff they promised me to help me grow. Haven't had one regret about leaving and I'm making significantly more money now.

I have to say this offseason has been my biggest three months of growth ever (between the sale, Yang Hansen and Dame's return) and I would have been very annoyed if I was still giving up 10% of my revenue to Substack.

Beehiiv and Ghost charge flat monthly fees, then Stripe takes a processing fee. Substack tithes 10% of your income *before* the stripe fee, and is now going to force Apple’s involvement. The company profiting off literal Nazis should’ve been enough to make people leave, but if not here’s a sign

began enabling Nazis years ago but I was lazy and didn't get my tail off it until earlier this year not letting creators keep their subscribers, which they promised me they would do in 2017 they take 10 percent (to spend on Nazis natch). when you make your own website where they take zero percent

The original Trump drowned while trying to take a drink out of a Mar A Lago toilet in 2017. The second Trump died of covid. Rudy Giuliani wasn't in a car crash today. He's being surgically transformed into Trump number four. Just in case

Said with respect, I genuinely do not think it is hypocrisy. The gun culture tells white men that they are police, protectors, virtuous warriors. See, for example, Ahmaud Arbery's murder. They do not see the MAGA government as tyrannical.

he sucks but he was close to 15 because Jerry Sloan called every play, even off offensive rebounds, the only one to do that even then. And the plays he called were all set up to earn Stockton a stat. Watch 90s and 80s Jazz and it's like they're trying to earn him contract incentives for assists

spot on, though I'd argue they are replete with fun and interesting writers that deserve to be on TV: Herring and Kram and Windhorst/McMahon/Bontemps need to be on more, and ESPN needs to do the obvious: Steve Jones Jr. would be HUGE on ESPN.

sad thing to pass along but if you tell them they wait two hours after waking to have caffeine, then they won't come down so hard off the initial energy drink jolt. The caffeine replaces the natural get-up-and-go and sustains throughout the day, don't need to chase. Sigh. Sorry.
