ah. they all got the memo

I regret to report that I wrote about Anne Helen Petersen leaving Substack for Patreon, and why does not in fact make the internet better for anyone, despite what people may think. Please stop building giant platforms and embrace decentralization.

This is insane.
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
