Does anyone here use Ghost as a supplement/replacement for Substack/Patreon? I'm intrigued, but I don't know any creators who use it! Curious to hear from the user side, too. Gimme your opinions, I desire them.

Under the Queensboro Bridge and its ramps, there is over 370,000 sq. ft across 15 lots owned by the city. Some used to be parks for children and now most sit empty or are used for storage, parking, and agency operations. It's time for that to change: queenseagle.com/all/2025/6/1...

Redirected me to a scam site. The only way it could’ve done this is if you’re allowing the ads themselves full js access to your page where you share my full email with outpost and every ad that loads when I’m logged in. I hope that’s not intentional.

AOL warned us of the dangers of logging on. It would play for us the screams of the damned. But we didn’t listen. We didn’t listen.

It’s not a bad show but this is a terrible episode where the characters are attacked by evil SecUnits. (That’s like the opposite of an oxymoron, since in the media, there’s no such thing as a non-evil SecUnit.) (Is there a word for the opposite of an oxymoron?)

I needed to stash my air conditioners for the winter and I took a look at my garage and said “absolutely not” so I designed and built shelving.

Life tip: Nobody is stopping you from putting a dot on the top of your USB cables

It takes 1 second and saves you trying both sides and somehow only plugging it in right when you look at it

True story: 14 years ago I wrote one of the letters of recommendation Guillermo needed to get a visa so he could live and work in this country. And now here he is congratulating the party of mass deportations. What the fuck, Guillermo. What the fuck.

NEW: Harrison Ford endorses Kamala Harris.

This is impactful, in part because it comes from someone without a long track record of endorsing candidates.

This 1000% as a hiring manager you have so little information and usually a bunch of good candidates.
The other important advice I give people is to stop taking it personally when you don't get hired. I know that's hard to do. But the hard truth is that interviewing is a dysfunctional game. It has very little correlation with your actual value. Just focus on getting past it.
