Can we all just appreciate how much better the substack experience is than the Patreon experience?

This is ableist AF of me, so please judge me a piece of shit accordingly, but every time I see that same stock photo of the leader of the Oath Keepers where he's got both an eye patch and a prescription lens in the part of his glasses over top of it, I can't help but think that just maybe this silly son of a bitch should've made his stand at LensCrafters instead of the Capitol building and 90% of America would've been on his side.

As a University of Kentucky basketball fan, I'm tickled shitless that Enes Kanter is a featured presenter at LibertyCon.

Can we talk about how well Kmele hosted Honestly? He matched the timbre of Bari's voice. Totally profesh. Xo

I sent Patreon an angry email, complete with screenshots, when I saw they'd charged me. Do I send an apologetic follow up saying "Sorry, it turns out this wasn't your fault, but the fault of a middle aged man confused by technology."?

Can't forget that Kmele doubled up podcasting that Central Park Karen story with former guest Van Lathan on Higher Learning, only for Christian Cooper to show up on the pod the next episode

Salman didn't get the Nobel. I've meant to read Annie Ernaux, fine, but come on, guys!

I just realized Matt Welch has routinely committed name-based-micro-aggressions against me. You fucking monster.

I had just randomly checked the Patreon and noticed it was still billing it. I appreciate you folx getting to this and I also just deleted Patreon since it's been rendered redundant.
