Same, it wore thin quickly, and I found myself looking forward to a pivot that never came. I would have rather seen some no-bullshit “wtf is wrong with you” type rhetoric from him after the satire.

Dumbass freeloading babies…

Haha, I thought that said “until pings work”

Yeah, and somebody is going to have to start, so is that you?

I’ve only recently even heard of substack as some sort of social media platform. I’m almost afraid to ask, but what’s wrong with its owners?

Pronoia - the universe is out to help you and forces are stacked in your favor

I bet it has a few vibrate modes

Definitely had no idea you meant article 5
