“I went ahead and made a browser extension.
Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.
Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.”
what a great workaround 🤗
Lol removed but in case you were curious www.techbuzz.ai/articles/bal...
Nope. This shit is 100% another proof point in the 'were fucked' column. National media should not, and can not, be subject to the whims of the billionaire class, even when they throw a few bucks at the shit some people like. Also, it's not as though NOR is out there speaking truth to power RN.
This gives the game away. If there are enough people who are 'with you on 90%' of issues but you keep losing, I don't know, maybe consider running candidates that will bring in those 10% instead of shitting on them and running to the right.
Just once, I'd like this to be the case. Just one time...
The fix even, but maybe it will hallucinate a fox.
This is peak 'we create a problem and then sell you the fox' Silicon Valley bullshit. techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/s...
This is part of a wider strategy by Disney, Nick, etc to do 'cultural refreshes' on the IPs they own. It stems from the media consolidation strategies which sees them rehashing the same old shit for new generations and hoping that some portion of it hits with the desired audience.
"Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long"
Steal Something from Work Day April 15, every year
April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!
Bosses, landlords, and billionaires steal from us continuously. It's not just wage theft—they've robbed us of the entire world, reducing everything to private property, commodities, or wreckage.
Let's snatch back what we can.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

I too have found a way billionaires can save newspapers...
New GTA 6 teaser just dropped.
I think the issue here was that only two get through the primary here and as of this week it looked like it would be Swalwell and a Republican. So Steyer's camp (who I assume are the culprits) needed to sink Swalwell to get ahead, and also because he was also a pro AI candidate splitting the AI $$$
No reason to not toss this guy right now. Morally he should, at the very least, exit the race until this can be investigated. And for those of you who are concerned about 'canceling a good man' I'd point to the frequency and length of time his inappropriate behavior with staffers has been known.
What's your go-to response when someone tells you they're going to the bathroom? My partner is a 'have fun!' person. Personally I'm a 'don't fall in' person myself.
The 'I did the thing experts said could kill you and it did not immediately kill you' is definitely a sort of guy that does very well in the manosphere.
Hey, wanna see a bunch of normie dems show you that it's not just MAGA that lacks critical thinking skills? Check the replies. Industrial levels of not understanding how politics works.

I'd like to suggest the Coup's Pimps (Free Stylin at the Fortune 500 club) as our new national anthem. I feel it captures the vibe of "America at 250" that we're all feeling.

I saw this shit result in all sorts of cutbacks in STL and the surrounding municipalities after the Ferguson protests. They cut child and senior services, animal control, disabled assistance and basic infrastructure to make sure they could pay out for the violence and increase the amount of cops.
Of course this is the 'solution' these ghouls come up with. These fucks love using public infrastructure to get rich and then want to kill it for anyone that came after. Also Khosla is the asshole who tried to block access to a public beach so only he would have access.

I'm sure your bosses are working hard to get that number up above 50%
Have you ever wondered what Trump would sound like if he were his signature brainrot, but also a shady attorney?

Also, in case this wasn't clear from the hundreds of people dunking on you, but your being white isn't the thing that causes this. This isn't to say you don't absolutely be-clown yourself in ways that white guys of a certain age often do. But, as one old white guy to another? Apologize and move on.
