The app for independent voices
Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
The media asking Zelenskyy if he wants to apologize to Trump is everything wrong with the media. They should be asking if Trump wants to apologize to Zelenskyy. Most Americans are humiliated at the trash behavior by Trump and JD in the Oval.
Did anyone else see the horrific display in the Oval Office last Friday as a ritual exercise in male domination? I don’t want to insult great apes, but I’ve seen similar performances at the zoo. Trump and Vance sought to humiliate Zelensky, treating him with the same disrespect they treat … well, women.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling.
You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

Regardless of RFK Jr being confirmed as HHS secretary, I will continue to provide evidence based health education on social media. We need more helpers now more than ever.
I wish every living former U.S. President would stand up, hold a press conference, and tell the world Trump’s treatment of Zelensky is not right. Who’s with me?

Trump and Vance beclowned themselves in their meeting with Zelenskyy. They came across as weak, petty little bullies. Zelenskyy’s position will now be strengthened around the globe while America continues to sink further and further into disrepute.
World-class writing

Most people will do anything to avoid being alone with their thoughts. They drown themselves in entertainment, distractions, mindless scrolling. They're running from themselves. But solitude is where the strongest minds are forged. Learn to be alone. It's a superpower.
it’s important to understand the centrality of male dominance and misogyny to Trump’s world — and to connect this to what other authoritarians and neofascists are doing around the globe.

I encourage everyone interested in America’s place in the world to read this — extraordinary analysis and presentation of the facts. Also, I just donated to one of the charities he lists at the end. I think it would be a good idea for as many of as possible to do the same, send a powerful message that we, the American people, stand with Ukraine and democracy against Putin and tyranny.
Hi, I’m Walt. I’m a songwriter and musician and I’ve been in the band The Walkmen in one form or another since I was 12. Literally. These days I make a lot of music under my own name and write songs for film and TV and commercials.
I’m also a record collector and music nerd so on my Substack I now host a weekly, hour-long radio show wher…
Hi Walt! Can you recommend your favorite vinyl player and set-up? I miss surround sound that isn’t compressed and metallic sounding..
Hey there - as much as I’m a music nerd and record collector type, Im not much of an audiophile. I’ve always just used pretty standard record players and they’ve always sounded great to me — and all the same to my ear. Right now I use an 'Orbit basic record player by U-Turn Turntables and it’s great. But honestly I picked it because I thought it looked cool and was cheaper than others. If you get any working record player going into any decent amplifier into decent speakers you can spend less than a few hundred dollars and have a thrilling sound. Long answer, but I firmly believe paying for high end audio gear is silly.
Reminds me of that Marc Maron bit where he buys the $7000 McIntosh amp and he’s like “… does this sound like $7000?”
I’ve got some old Yamaha with a cheap tube amp and some random speakers. I think it sounds great and I can really hear the difference in quality from streaming. That’s all that matters!
Amen! I honestly believe that if the system looks cool and feels cool and has cool knobs, it’ll sound amazing - as long as it works…
Thank you! My dad had a record player, amp and large speakers and the first Beatles song I heard on it was Penny Lane. I remember begging him to let me turn the record player on… I had to get “lessons” 😅😅
