We swapped out winter tires for summer tires this morning.

My 4 y/o daughter says, “If you got the summer tires on, that means it's corn on the cob and peach season!”

I like where your head's at, kid.

I like this idea and think

should look into something like this, or make it easier for the creation of Substack “Magazines” where groups of writers team up for a shared revenue stream across several sites.

If I’m not mistaken, Substack doesn’t offer a kitchen sink affordable monthly subscription model but it should. I mean an option like what many on here have suggested. Something like: $8.99 a month and you get access to everyone’s paid content and writers can be paid by the number of pages read. Individual articles should also be purchas…

IS THIS CHILD HUMAN, OR MONSTER? Why Is It Chained Up In The Basement?!

A mysterious child is chained in a basement by its parents. As the story unfolds, subtle hints suggest that the child is not entirely human – its body secretes green fluid, and it moves in unsettling ways. Hear the story “Born of Man And Woman” on Future Tense! | #RetroRadio EP0383

Notes have become the playground of my writing. Sometimes an article gets started and then gets revised as I fine tune what I’m trying to say. The picture in this case is one that I took when I was at Christ The Good Shepherd in Saginaw, MI. One of many pictures I have in my collection.

Which thief are we?

new profile pic, because the last one came from one of those face-making games on Twitter (possibly using AI) and it has to go. This is now a completely real, non-AI pic of baby Em inexplicably wearing a plate as a hat (says a lot about who I am as a person tbh), looking inquisitively into the distance. This is my facial expression typing away all of the AF dispatches. <3

I am frustrated by how many Substack Lives are just the same 15 people talking to each other.

I want to expand the aperture. I want to talk to new and different voices (although to do a Substack Live they need to have a Substack account).

So, I need ideas/recommendations. Ideally in the politics, culture and sports space. But honestly I will take anyone that is a little outside the box.

TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD? (major update)

The 4th possibility has already happened. Wagner is

going to Belarus and all charges will be dropped.

Frankly, I think it was great

performative bushwa. A

Victoria Brown's avatar

Why do I think this? 2 reasons. Putin never called

out his "Chef" by name and

the way too easy roll of Wagner through the reported

heavily defended military ops

center. COUNTEROFFENSIVE on Substack had a great photo of the laid back, sitting

around Wagner's before they

started the roll to Moscow.

Putting has weakened himself letting Prigozhin escapeikethis.

Victoria Brown's avatar

Maybe not, Tom. These 2 men have known each other a long time. Prigozhin has carried Putin's water in Syria, Lybia, Africa and Ukraine.

Still carries it in Africa.

He's an asset to Putin.

There's a reason he's

in Belarus. It's a lot closer to Khiv and now

Prigozhin has access to weapons he was not evidently getting from the generals. I

TCinLA's avatar

We shall see. If Prigozhin was serious with this "rebellion," then it was a mark of weakness that Putin let him off. Letting him off only opens the doors to the others who are dissatisfied with losing the war in Ukraine.

Yes, we shall see if it was a mark of weakness by Putin, or a canny way to stage reposition of Wagner, closer and better armed, to the enemy - Ukraine. I sincerely hope it's your assessment Tom.

Would Wagner be any more effective if they invaded from the north /Belarus?
