Nothing I have ever made would have been any good if editors weren’t involved. They make things better

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Thanks re: link. I am only taking patrons through the site cuz the payment processor gave me a loan and part of the deal was I use them exclusively.

Ok so I am trying to get 4,000 patrons for my podcast @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social by the end of 2025. To that end, I think in a the next month or so I am going to do a 24 hour live stream where every person who signs up can request me to perform a song, live, with no preparation. That sounds fun.

Hi friends, I am up for a best new podcast award but I am dangerously close to losing it to Michelle Obama. If you could vote for me that would be so so cool. You can vote by following this link. vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting...

Every time I accomplish something I always say “Obama never did that”

Please help me beat Michelle obama’s podcast with her brother. Show the industry that you want more strong narrative journalism in your feed!

Hi, I've never won an award before. Wouldn't it be a funny joke to play on The Signal Awards to have you all vote for me to win these two awards? Please follow the link to vote, and thank you ever so much.

An argument could be made that rain is god peeing and thunder is god farting. You’d probably need electroshock therapy for that too

BRO GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK

That thread has valid points even if it indulges in a bit of exaggeration.

We don't know how AI works, which means we don't know if it is sentient but we do know there is an argument that could be made for it...

To dismiss it summarily without that explicit knowledge is somewhat bigotry-coded.
