Nearly a month after the debate, and it is clear that this terrible White House nearly killed Joe. They still might.

They really need to start the mummification process now, if they want him to be embalmed by November.

The fact that supporters are mirroring the โ€œfake newsโ€ and rigged polls stances in response to any and all bad news is just amazing at this point. Iโ€™m loathe to make generalities about generations as theyโ€™re mainly created for consumer marketing, but it really does feel like a certain cohort refusing to believe that age is and should be a factor at all, and that in fact they should be the center of the world forever consequences be damned.

Well. I was recommended to your blog, and will now DISENGAGE.

I come to Substack for thoughtful and substantive discourse, not silly hackery like this. I got that on cable which I have also disengaged with.

I am also going to to make sure to inform the person who is recommended you to me of my disappointment in their curation.

It's very easy to read a few blogs on Substack before making the decision to subscribe. Caveat Emptor, good sir or madam.

Didn't subscribe. Just disengaging after reading.

A few articles were actually not bad, but leading with something so shallow as the obvious use of studio makeup was a huge turnoff. This is what I moved on from corporate cable to avoid.

โ€œa few articles were actually not badโ€ โ€” one of our best-ever reviews! thanks for sampling moe, sorry we werenโ€™t to your taste.

No worries.

I just prefer publications that are less cavalier and don't run pieces that lead with physical commentary. Had a skin condition in high school and had enough of that there.

You're leaving? You're making the gay birds cry. Do you even believe in irony?

You're not friends with Rayne over at Emptywheel by any chance? She's quite the gatekeeper on what Ivy League bloggers can post and comment about. High standards.
