Some personal news!

I am beyond thrilled to announce that today we are launching the next phase of @ArcDigi.

We've taken our talents to @SubstackInc. That means our time on Medium has come to an end.

This is the biggest piece of Arc news since our founding. So please share.

This move is a dream come true for me.

For a long time now, all that I have wanted is to run a publication, and for it to have access to the resources and reach that can help it become the best pub of all.

We have that now. I could not be happier.

I am asking all of you to consider becoming a member.

It costs $8 per month, or $80 for the year.

This is what makes our project possible. Oh, and you get amazing content and exclusive access to a wonderful community of readers and writers.

To our Patreon subscribers: even though this will ding us a bit financially, since many of you are currently giving *more* than 8 per month, please do shift your support from Patreon to our page on Substack. Thank you for believing in us.
Lots of folks are lauding us as some new form of Substack configuration. It's certainly true that, as @jacobgrier put it, we're "like multiple Substacks in one."

But don't forget that @thedispatch, @BulwarkOnline, and @JoinPersuasion have *been* representing for a while there.
Asked the engineering team to show me our subscriber stats so far, and they prepared this advanced model. Let me know if you need help understanding it.

At this point, climate scientists are trying anything they can to provoke us to take action.

C*CK GETS BIGGER

Simple as that. As far as campaigns to raise awareness, we could do much worse.

Where would you want to live if you didn't factor in things like where your family is, where your job is, etc.? Pick strictly based on the allure of the city/town/country itself.
I'm basic but, for me, in no order: L.A., Chicago, NYC, or DC.

Wild card: Kansas City
hell yeah

This is actually one of the funniest techniques to use in a contentious situation.

"Yes, I affirm your insult. But only after I reframe it as a virtue."
"Guy called me 'completely irredeemable' and the 'scum of the earth'

It's true. I am. I am seen as 'completely irredeemable and the scum of the earth' by PEOPLE WHO ARE THEMSELVES BAD. I fully admit that."
Hmmm, am I 'disgustingly cruel'?

Yup. My opponent is dead right about that. I really am disgustingly cruel toward views I think are even more disgustingly cruel. Guilty as charged!

Donald McNeil, the former NYT science writer forced out over his mention of the N-word, just released a 4-part series on the episode.

It remains absolutely wild to me that McNeil, a 40-year Times vet up for a Pulitzer for his COVID coverage, was unceremoniously dumped over this.

This is incredibly lazy.

You don't prove that "the media" hasn't given preferential treatment to a particular figure by pointing to individual instances of negative coverage. The analysis has to take into account much more than just that.
The positive coverage the "MSM" gave him, and the negative coverage they ought to have given him but didn't, overwhelmed the bad press they did give him. The latter, the critiques they did give him, failed to meaningfully shape the Cuomo narrative-forming process.
My impression is that a fuller analysis of mainstream coverage would bear this out. It would require determining a number of things.

(1) how much negative coverage, in newspaper inches or total journalistic output, Cuomo received
(2) how prominent the negative coverage was

James Lindsay is lashing out at @CathyYoung63 for being nuanced. It is literally impossible to be familiar with Cathy’s work and believe she is soft on “wokeness.” Image
Cathy literally just posted this as Lindsay was constructing his bum ass tweet lmao
