I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

For years, this man has profited of off writers and refused to listen when they said “Hey this platform and its changes aren’t working for us.” Now he’s throwing a tantrum when those writers leave. Because he thinks no other platform will love them as much as him.

Getting off Substack is the right move. I would compare it to moving from an app like Garageband to Ableton or Logic. Or switching from clip art to creative stock images. My business has grown. My readership has grown. Substack fills your list with junk signups, takes your money, and holds you back.

(Also this is Ronald Reagan’s fault.)

THREAD.
Some thoughts on moving a subscriber list away from Substack - for various reasons, some political, some personal, some about not wanting to give part of my income to venture capitalists - and something very very strange (and a little scary) that has happened as a result of it...

This is especially true given the entire regime is plainly and openly discussing ways “around” the constitution. I don’t want to hear “it’s unconstitutional, he should be arrested if it happens” - I also want to know what they’re doing to actively PREVENT it.
