Observation for the Substack team. We’re supposed to spend time here on Notes, to build our stacks. But it’s slowly turning into exactly the same kind of dumpster fire that made me leave Twitter after a decade and a half. Writers shoved aside by big guns moving across to hawk their political wares. Psychos in the comments. What’s the incentive? I think you have to curate this place or it’ll die.

One of the things that most revolts me about the RepublicaMAGA party is their pretense to care about Ukraine. You lie. We know you lie. You just want them to capitulate. You’re assholes.
