I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.
So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?
(Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security)
Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

If I had 2 million dollars to throw at you, Substack, I would throw 2 million dollars at you...
(...then I'd turn into a monster and start making unreasonable demands, like British spelling for everything - "LISTEN UP, COLOUR IS SPELLED WITH A "U", DON'T MAKE ME REGRET MY INVESTMENT NOW" - and deliveries of pastries and beer to my front doorstep every single day...)
...but I signed up for a tiny corner of this thing, and that makes me very happy. You've been a career-changer for me, and if this i…
How much have you made from substack that changed your life, your career? Given there are only 2 million paid subs, I do not see how many can be getting rich off this platform after the intermediaries take their chunks out.
I didn't become a writer to get rich.
I became one to find a way to make enough money to keep writing.
That's what Substack has given me. (And a lot more besides.)
That certainly is worth mentioning as it implied there was a source of income to support calling it a career in the financial definition rather than a chance to publish. I agree, it is nice to have a place where a few thousand followers can read or see our works but the platform has much to do for the many contributors who are not making the income needed to live for them and a family. Thus, if you are one of the examples of a success that leads others to commit, invest, and share... I wanted t…
Sigh... this comment is so condescending. A career is a career, there’s no gatekeeping needed. And if someone is supporting themselves on their income from publication, it’s still a career.
What is it you’d like from Substack? You sound really upset, throughout the comments here. Can you help me understand what you’re angry about?
I am guessing that for you, a race is just for being in it, participation awards for all who are willing to enter though not put in the time or effort to win the races by outperforming and getting the prize, in writing, recognition, money, or publishing books that others read regardless of making money, true a career. But, support your family, your children, and call it your source of income that proves your success is valued by the society, that is usually what is called a successful career. N…
>>" simply wish to see if one of the few jackpot winners is the key salesman in the thread to get the writers already contributing the bulk of the value of the corporation that is running this platform."
I'm sorry - are you suggesting...? What? That I'm a salesman for Substack? Or part of some kind of behind the scenes conspiracy to get people to sign up?
Here's the truth: *I am not.* I am just a guy who writes a newsletter about science, on Substack. That's it. I also wanted to be a writer, and …
Then please add some logic and offer some balance in the conversation rather than just sound like a cheerleader and downplaying valid questions about getting some improved service while they might pay attention because they have not in the past.
