Quite likely! I haven’t yet given any thought to other scripts, but thanks for the prompt to do so 🙏🏻🫡

My test script suggests that yours *should* work — the first time I tried your handle, it said that it couldn't be resolved, but the second time I was able to get to the auth step (beyond which I obviously cannot proceed!) Where are you getting stuck?

Virginia Murdoch @virginia.alertbutnotalarmed.com · 11h

Fixed!

Virginia Murdoch @virginia.alertbutnotalarmed.com · 12h

I definitely should fix this! I’ll have a go now.

Good question! In theory yes, but in practice I have not been able to test it yet. I’d love to try to get this working with you.

Are you high

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

Charlie Kirk was killed by a Groyper, due to that group’s known hatred of his positions, and it’s as obvious as if his killer had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles, but the @nytimes.com and others refuse to cover it that way because they don’t respect their colleagues who know this.

“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.

Substack Did Not See That Coming

Let’s set Substack’s “Nazi problem” aside for a moment. What if the bigger issue is being stranded on a collapsing platform... with a bunch of Nazis?...
