While I was working on an article about the absurdities of our ‘leaders’ sending $40B to Ukraine, Glenn Greenwald wrote about the matter. I highly suggest that everybody read this, he hits all the major points. I’ll still be writing my article, I’m just shifting the focus to something that Greenwald doesn’t really cover. And I promise, my article will have the superior memes. A preview:
So this is as good a time as any for the monthly ‘paid’ article in which my wonderful paid subscribers can provide direction about articles they want to see. And because Screaming into the Void just passed 1,000 subscribers, this month I’m opening the thread to ALL subs, not just paid subs!
Thanks to ALL subscribers, we’ve got a thriving place where we can discuss today’s hot topics without worrying about getting thrown off the internet. This is your chance to have a say in what topics those are, so comment below about what you’d like to see!
There’s no doubt that Substack will continue to be in the crosshairs of the censors and the information tyrants. Sticking to libertarian principles, all actual content of the ‘stack is free, but hosting and putting your neck out there certainly isn’t. If you opt for a paid sub (even for a month), you’re helping strengthen Substack’s financial incentive to remain a haven for free speech. You’re also increasing the time I can dedicate to the ‘stack (you’ll have to decide if that’s actually a good thing for yourself! 😝)
TIL emojis can be in italics. 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Also, some terrible mews to share. Larry, He of the Big Balls, King of the Cat Tree, Nomer of Tuna, Chaser of Toys Physical AND Laser-Based, Ruler of all He Surveys, has passed on and is chasing critters in kitty heaven. Larry liked to make cameos at the end of depressing posts to keep up the spirits of readers. He asks that you not be sad that he’s gone, but be happy that he was ever here.
So sorry about Larry.
Sorry for your loss. 😞 Happy for your substack. 🙂
