Wherein serial loser and drip admits to being very unpleasant, starting fights he loses to people he envies and resents, caving and apologizing, then coming back for more, and finally being driven off Twitter entirely: johnganz.substack.com/p/confessions-…
"I started it, but they are scoundrels." OK bro.
Bold prediction: He will be back and worse than before.
Anyone insulted by this nonentity needs only link to this post forever; nothing need be added to it
As if the post itself didn't make this context clear, I've put this thread elsewhere to spell it out explicitly and am leaving it here:
Needless to say, anyone that burns with uncontrollable and vindictive rage at @alicefromqueens is a total loser

The biggest Substack accounts tend to belong to people who started blogging in the early 2000's, accruing large email lists over the decades. Writers that didn't do that can't hope to compete.
They are fulfilling an essential function and mostly doing it quite ably:
Those who want the independence of Substack but don't have enormous pre-existing mailing lists can't be merely duplicative of what the big fish do.

Once you see the media as the orchestrators of an ongoing passion play expressing the values of a new quasi-theological monoculture that it has become, its behavior becomes more readily explicable andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/when-the-nar…
What's interesting is that in addition to the 16 pieces of propaganda restating the dogma, there is still that one piece of reporting that undermines the other 16 that still runs in their pages. You can still reconstruct reality based on what appears in the mainstream press.

I haven't really sent out anything on it yet, but 100 percent of my Twitter followers should sign up for my free Substack mailing list: wesleyyang.substack.com
And all my followers willing to pay for content should become micro-patrons of my personal venue where you can $1 (or more, at your discretion) for an essay by myself or a group of interesting contributors patreon.com/m/selectedcorr…
There is a paid option on my Substack, and a handful of people have chosen it even though I'm not posting any content.

For now, it's a way to give me a tip for the unpaid content I produce here and on Clubhouse, though if enough people joined, perhaps I'd start.....
