USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

As some of you may already know, I have some health issues.
These are chronic, but since September they have been getting worse and making my life difficult!💔
The pace of my drawings will therefore slow down for a while...

The median American has $8,000 in savings in the bank. In other words, this is like giving the median American an opportunity to make a massive, scandalous crime go away for a fine of $240.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Republicans want to kill the post office and the media is there for it, which is why you have never seen a news story about how the police department has never turned a profit and is a waste

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Btw this is one of the biggest reasons why it’s not as easy as people think to start up independent newsrooms or just be an indie journalist on substack. If you are actually holding powerful and rich people to account, you WILL need legal representation. Not a matter of whether but when
I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

This is dead serious, do not do this. It opens up a ton of liability and actively decreases the likelihood (or fully eliminates) that what you want or hope to happen will happen.

It is trivial to do translation badly, so people don't realise how difficult it is to do well.
It isn't about "this word means that word" but understanding cultural references & deeper meanings; to believe it can be automated is a failure of thinking caused by prioritising STEM over the Humanities.

People really do not appreciate the skill required to translate even passibly accurately let alone WELL and it's deeply annoying
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin
