hey #Manitoba people with secret phones, there will be an emergency alert test tomorrow at 1:55, so turn them off if there's a risk of anyone else hearing them.

Bougie vegans of the UK, did you know Costa's cherry matcha latte has dairy in the syrup even if you order it with non-dairy milk? Because I bloody didn't until ordering my third one

People keep sharing an image of a bird with a drop of water bursting on its head like a crown. It's AI, but people share it in good faith, believing it’s an amazing photo by a human of a real bird in a real moment of time. Meanwhile, humans who have taken amazing photos of real birds captured in real moments of time, like a hummingbird in ballet with a butterfly, get questioned in good faith by people who are tired of being cheated by AI-deceit. The way AI has broken social trust is distressing.

Substack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.

So I went ahead and made a browser extension.

Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.

Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.

Update: If you have problems with `archive.is`, Ghost Archive is now available as an alternative redirect as of version 1.2.1.

Everyone told me this account was stupid. They said it would never be successful. People told me to give up and delete it.

Long have I waited for the day I could prove my haters wrong. Take a look at what I made today. Who's the failure now, huh?

On this occasion of the launch of Artemis II, I need to reshare this.

This is a photo of 8 of the surviving Apollo astronauts, taken on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

The man wearing ... well ... a heat shield, is Buzz Aldrin. I have to imagine his arrival went like this:

PHOTOGRAPHER: Um, Mr. Aldrin, this is a formal portrait.
BUZZ: Do you think I don't know that, son?
PHOTOG: Well, your outfit sir, it's-
BUZZ: Son. I've been to the moon. The mother-lovin' moon. In a tin can running on a graphing calculator powered by a can of sterno.
PHOTOG: Yes sir.
BUZZ: I get to wear what I want, where I want, when I want, for the rest of my life. Do you understand me, son?
PHOTOG: Right this way sir.

And what really gets me is Charlie Duke. He's the guy in the tux with the gold trim. He thought he was going to stand out in this photo. Then in walks Mr. Moon Man.
