Podcasts about substack notes

A ver si te suena esto: publicas contenido, revisas las métricas de YouTube o de donde sea, intentas descifrar qué funciona... pero sigues teniendo esa sensación de hablarle a una masa de gente que no sabes muy bien quiénes son ni qué quieren de ti.Es casi mejor ni pensarlo.Como creadores, nos perdemos fácil mirando solo el numerito gordo (visitas, subs...).Pero la realidad es que no todos los que te ven son iguales.Entender quién tienes delante y cómo llega a ti es fundamental si quieres montar un sistema que funcione a largo plazo, que no te queme y que te permita vivir de esto.Ya sabes que soy un rayado con la audiencia, intereses, mi enfoque… y escuchando una entrevista estos días llegué al concepto de Audiencia PCN. Son las iniciales de Principal, Casual y Nueva.Pero antes de seguir:Mi colega Víctor Millán acaba de abrir las puertas de ECO30 y creo que es justo lo que muchos necesitáis.ECO30 es el método-reto de 30 días para escribir sin bloqueos, con una rutina de publicación consistente que te ayudará a construir tu propia audiencia.Sin rollos, sin teoría infinita.Si estás empezando a crear contenido o quieres darle estructura a lo que ya tienes, échale un ojo. El precio de lanzamiento (47€) solo está hasta el 12 de mayo, y después sube.Ver ECO30 aquí →Audiencia PCN: ¿Qué es y para qué te sirve?Pensar en tu audiencia con estas tres etiquetas te da un mapa mucho más claro para decidir qué crear, cómo presentarlo y dónde poner el foco.Así que vamos al lío:Audiencia Principal (P): Los de verdad.* Quiénes son: Tu gente, tus reals. Los que te apoyan, los que pillan tus coñas, comentan, comparten y están ahí, no solo por lo que haces, sino por cómo lo haces (¡y por quién eres!). Son los que se apuntarán a Comunidad Factoría Creativa o comprarían lo que saques casi sin preguntar. Son la audiencia que va a consumir todo lo que creas.* Por qué son clave: Son la gente que te va a hacer crecer, te dan el feedback bueno, te aportan estabilidad y muchas veces difunden la palabra siendo tus mejores comerciales.Audiencia Casual (C): Los que te tienen en el radar* Quiénes son: Les suena tu cara. Consumen algo tuyo si se lo encuentran y les cuadra (un vídeo útil, un tema que justo buscaban), pero no hay una conexión fuerte. Ojo, que en plataformas de exposición como YouTube, ¡estos pueden ser fácil el 50% de tus visualizaciones! Estamos hablando de un perfil de audiencia muy amplio y del que no para de entrar y salir gente.* Por qué importan: Son el gran caladero. De aquí pueden salir tus futuros fans "P". Son una oportunidad gigante si sabes cómo tratarlos.Audiencia Nueva (N): Los que ni saben que existes.* Quiénes son: Gente a la que le molaría tu contenido, pero que todavía no ha tenido la suerte de encontrarte. La vas a encontrar en los canales de exposición, ya te hablé de ellos hace unas entregas.* Por qué son vitales: Sin ellos, no hay crecimiento. Punto. Si no piensas en cómo llegar a gente nueva, te estancas.¿Qué hacemos?Vale, Guillermo, muy bonito. ¿Y cómo leches hago para contentar a todos?Buena pregunta.No hay varitas mágicas, ya me conoces. Pero sí hay formas de meterle cabeza y sistema:A tu audiencia principal (P): Mímala.* La clave: No experimentes.* Cómo: Dales lo que les gusta, pero también sorpréndeles con contenido más específico, acceso anticipado o un trato más cercano mediante comunidad. Escúchalos de verdad. Que se sientan parte del proyecto.A tu audiencia casual (C): Engánchala rápido.* La clave: Claridad y un buen "envoltorio".* Cómo: Aquí el packaging es rey. Títulos, asuntos y miniaturas que se entiendan al vuelo y que apetezca clicar. Contenido que dé valor rápido, sin necesidad de ser un experto en tu mundo. Son personas que ya te conocen pero que necesitan un motivo extra para ver esa publicación que has sacado.A la audiencia nueva (N): Que Te Encuentren.* La clave: Descubrimiento y valor de entrada.* Cómo: Piensa como Google o YouTube. ¿Qué busca la gente? ¿Qué problemas tienen que tú puedas solucionar ya? Crea contenido pensado para que los algoritmos lo recomienden. Y cuando lleguen, dales tanto valor de golpe que digan: "Hostia, ¿dónde ha estado este tío toda mi vida?". Se inteligente y guíalos desde este tipo de contenidos a los otros contenidos que tengas publicados y proponles que formen parte de tu "Audiencia Principal" mediante una suscripción a la news… bueno ya sabes cómo va el tema.El reto: mantener el equilibrio Intentar gustar a los de siempre y a la vez atraer a gente nueva... es un lío.Si te enfocas mucho en los nuevos, los fieles pueden sentir que cambias.Si solo haces contenido para los fieles, no creces.Mi estrategia (por si te sirve): Yo mismo, para intentar poner orden, he acabado dividiendo también los públicos por canales.Tengo mi canal de YouTube donde busco más esa exposición para "Nuevos" y "Casuales", y luego sitios como esta newsletter o la Comunidad para profundizar con la "Audiencia Principal". No es la única forma, pero es como yo me organizo este tinglado.En resumen:Olvídate de ver a tu audiencia como una masa uniforme. Empieza a pensar en estos tres grupos (Principal, Casual y Nueva) y verás cómo tus decisiones sobre qué contenido crear y cómo "venderlo" se vuelven mucho más claras y efectivas.Para que rumies esta semana: ¿A qué audiencia le estás haciendo más caso ahora mismo? RecomendacionesMi trío de la semana:* Entrevista a Paddy Galloway: uno de los estrategas de YouTube más importantes de la actualizad con el que vais a aprender un montón de conceptos.* David Löhlein | Boiler Room: un artista nuevo a seguir con un estilo muy divertido.* Descubrimiento: el cocolate 85% en porciones que venden en los supermercados DIA, es el mismo que en el Lidl. No digo más.En qué ando metidoEsta semana he lanzado una prueba de publicación en Substack Notes.De forma silenciosa he creado un listado de 30 Notes que voy a estar publicando de forma diaria para ver qué efecto tiene en mi perfil dentro de la plataforma y en suscriptores.Tengo algunas conclusiones, pero me espero a que pasen estos 30 días para contarte.Estoy creando las publicaciones juntando varias herramientas y esto es algo de lo que estoy hablando en Factoría Creativa para que los que están dentro tengan una opción de probarlo al mismo tiempo que lo hago yo.Y es que Factoría Creativa es precisamente eso: la comunidad de pago único (pagas una vez y es para siempre) donde comparto todos los 'cómo se hace' detrás de FailAgain. No solo las herramientas o prompts específicos de experimentos como este de Substack Notes, sino los sistemas, las plantillas y las estrategias prácticas que uso día a día para crear contenido de forma consistente y eficiente.Es el lugar para creadores que, como tú y como yo, buscamos formas realistas de sacar adelante nuestros proyectos sin morir en el intento. Dentro encontrarás:* Acceso directo y exclusivo a todos los recursos prácticos: Plantillas, prompts, guías... todo lo que menciono en la newsletter o YouTube y que realmente uso. (¡Incluido el paso a paso de experimentos como el de Notes!).* El curso "Transforma tu Proyecto" incluido (valorado en 69€ y con actualizaciones).* Sesiones "Analizando Creadores": Donde vemos qué funciona a otros y donde tu propio proyecto puede ser analizado.* Una comunidad real: Para conectar con otros creadores, compartir dudas y encontrar apoyo (¡se acabaron los llaneros solitarios!).* Voz y voto: Para influir en los próximos contenidos y recursos que prepararé.Si quieres dejar de acumular teoría y pasar a la acción con sistemas probados, tener acceso directo a la 'cocina' de FailAgain, aprender de los experimentos en tiempo real y rodearte de gente que está en tu misma onda, Factoría Creativa es tu sitio.Es una inversión única que te da acceso permanente a un valor que no para de crecer.Entra aquí a precio fundadorPDLa semana pasada envié un correo que no salió público desde Substack y he tenido muy buen feedback. Básicamente, os contaba cómo va a ser el tipo de publicaciones que aparecerán públicas ahora en FailAgain, siendo por fin YouTube el canal que tome la delantera en cuanto a contenido mensual.Para ello, he decidido seguir formándome y justo ayer empecé un curso nuevo de estrategia para YouTube, creo que puede ser un buen plus. Contaré también en la comunidad los aprendizajes que pueda ir extrayendo conforme avance. Get full access to Creación de contenido - FailAgain at www.guitermo.com/subscribe

Substack está en boca de todos.Su facilidad de uso y, sobre todo, sus mecánicas para hacer crecer tu lista (recomendaciones, Notes, red interna...) son un caramelito muy apetecible si eres creador.Es brutal para los que empiezan, y si comienzas a explorar todas las posibilidades técnicas que ofrece, en un momento tienes instalada la APP, creado un podcast, vídeos y si te descuidas, una membresía de pago con su chat y tal.Substack no quiere que salgas de Substack.Como cualquier red social que se precie, están transformando sus mecanismos principales para aumentar el tiempo en su APP y generar un ecosistema de contenido más cerrado donde el email cada vez tenga menos peso.La pregunta entonces es:¿Puedes aprovechar todo el potencial de crecimiento de Substack sin sacrificar aspectos clave como la segmentación, automatizaciones y evitar terminar con una audiencia poco alineada?La respuesta es sí.Y hoy te comparto la estrategia que estoy siguiendo (y testeando) para que exprimas Substack sin morir en el intento:¿Estás suscrito?1. Publica en Substack SIEMPRE, pero NO envíes desde allíAquí va la estrategia clave: publica todas tus entradas en Substack para que sirvan como archivo público y accesible, pero gestiona el envío principal de tus correos con una herramienta externa.* Usa Substack como tu CMS y tu escaparate público: Publica aquí cada entrada. Esto te beneficia a nivel SEO por tener un archivo online que se indexa en Google y también obtienes la posible visibilidad dentro de la red Substack.* Utiliza un gestor de email externo: ¿Por qué? Principalmente por el control sobre la entregabilidad y las funcionalidades avanzadas. Las plataformas especializadas en email marketing suelen ofrecer más garantías y opciones especiales como automatizaciones o segmentos.Yo personalmente uso Flodesk. Me decanté por ella por sus automatizaciones y su simplicidad de uso, algo que valoro mucho. Me permite crear correos visualmente atractivos sin complicaciones y mantener un control más directo sobre la entrega. Tienes un post donde la analizo.Si quieres echarle un vistazo y probar Flodesk, puedes hacerlo a través de este enlace con un 50% de descuento el primer año.Gestionar dos plataformas requiere un pequeño esfuerzo extra, sí, pero para mí, el control que ganas sobre tu activo más importante (la lista y su comunicación directa) compensa con creces.2. Acuerdos de Recomendación: privados y con FocoLa función de recomendaciones de Substack puede atraer muchos suscriptores... pero también muchos que no tienen ni idea de qué va tu contenido.Crecer por crecer no te sirve si la audiencia no está interesada.Una estrategia más PRO es crear acuerdos de recomendación privados.* Busca calidad, no cantidad: Identifica a 3 creadores de contenido con temáticas muy afines a la tuya y audiencias similares. Que sean proyectos que realmente respetes y cuyo contenido consumirías, y lo más importante, proyectos que crezcan.* Propón un acuerdo directo: Habla con ellos y recomendaros mutuamente en el sistema de recomendaciones que tiene Substack. Es muy importante que sean solo 3 porque es el número máximo de recomendaciones que promueve Substack en el proceso de suscripción.3. Substack Notes: útiles, sí, pero con estrategiaLa tentación con "Notes" es usarlo como un mini-Twitter para hablar de todo un poco y ganar exposición genérica. ¡Error!Mola ver los likes, comentarios y repost, pero no tengo claro que esto te traiga suscriptores a tu lista y menos que sean de calidad.Usa Notes, pero que tengan relación directa con el contenido de tu newsletter.* Comparte una idea clave de tu último post* Lanza una pregunta sobre tu temática principal* Crea pequeños post que expandan un concepto que tratasCada Note debe ser una mini-píldora que refuerce tu autoridad en tu nicho y atraiga hacia tu contenido principal.4. 2 Hipótesis finales: ¿Monetizar Ayuda al Alcance? ¿Hablar bien de Substack ayuda?Y aquí una reflexión personal, una intuición basada en observar cómo funcionan estas plataformas: Tengo la sensación de que explorar las vías de monetización de Substack (activar las suscripciones de pago) podría darle una señal positiva a la plataforma.No puedo asegurarlo, pero es posible que Substack dé un sutil empujón en visibilidad y alcance interno a aquellos creadores que demuestran un compromiso mayor con la plataforma, y activar opciones de pago es una señal de ello. Es algo a considerar y, sobre todo, a experimentar.¿Has notado algo parecido?Por último:* Hablar bien de Substack le gusta a Substack* Explicar cosas de Substack le gusta a Substack* Hablar de crecimiento y éxito gracias a Substack, le gusta a SubstackParece que tenemos un algoritmo que se activa cuando se menciona Substack y mide el sentimiento de los textos.No tengo pruebas, pero tampoco dudas.RecomendacionesEsta semanita, 3 cosas chulas:* Estoy empezando a usar una herramienta para programar redes sociales que pillé en AppSumo RobinReach. Todavía estoy en fase de configuración y demás pero tiene buena pinta. Os iré contando.* Sigo explorando Google Gemini 2.5 Pro: muy potente en razonamiento, también estoy viendo sus "GEMs" lo que serían proyectos en Claude, pero sigue sin darme buenos resultados en generación de texto.* Sesión Folamour muy de domingo. Qué estoy haciendoEsta semana ha sido cortita con solo 3 días de faena y he tenido tiempo de trabajar en cositas que tenía pendiente para FailAgain.Lo primero he creado una secuencia de bienvenida para todos los que se suscriben por correo electrónico.Por fin, 4 correos donde me presento, cuento qué puedo ayudar, propongo unas ideas y presento la comunidad de Factoría Creativa.He mostrado todo el proceso a los miembros en un vídeo para que puedan ver cómo juntar Substack y Flodesk con una secuencia de bienvenida.Recuerda que Factoría Creativa es un espacio donde compartir con otros creadores tus proyectos y retos en el que además te comparto recursos extra que no puedes ver en la newsletter.Puedes entrar en la comunidad con un solo pago y acceso vitalicio.Te dejo el link aquí.Además de todo lo anterior, estoy regrabando el curso de "Transforma tu proyecto" y va a ser un buen cambio.He actualizado el nombre incluso y a partir de ahora se llamará "Creador Pro" porque es una formación que precisamente lo que permite es pasar de un nivel inicial de creador de contenido, a un nivel Profesional.Esta formación está disponible para todos los miembros de la comunidad.Todavía quedan unas plazas para miembros fundadores, así que entra hoy al mejor precio y con un pago vitalicio.PDEstos días de "vacaciones" se me han hecho cortísimos.¿Cómo ha sido para vosotros?Yo recuerdo el miércoles con un pedazo de puente por delante y ahora ya todo está listo para sentencia.En la sección anterior te he contado todo lo que estoy haciendo, pero me han quedado fuera unas cuantas tareas:* Grabar 2 vídeos de YouTube que tengo escritos* Formatear el PC que ando con problemas* Revisar una idea de contenido para Instagram* Terminar una web que tengo a medias…Siempre igual, la realidad pasándonos por encima.Un abrazote y buena semana :) This is a public episode.

Hi all,This morning I popped LIVE on the Substack app to chat a little more about the current situ with Notes and how we're all feeling. Over on Notes, it's less of a water cooler moment with our colleagues and more of noisy airport where most of the flights are delayed and everyone has their phone on LOUD these days… This is my third Substack LIVE and the only one I felt happy to share… Thank you Susannah Conway ,Jo Hutton, Ingrid Fernandez, and many others for tuning into my live video! Substack are quite keen on us testing lives and I think we all know that it will make this space busier and noisier. That being said, I felt I had something of comfort and value to say in the here and now and this was how I chose to share it…We always have a choice… ✨Here are my points summarised for you. I'd love to invite more comments and questions. It's a fascinating topic… You can join my private chat space to share or if you're not a member or leave a comment below… 1. Purpose of Substack Notes: I reflected on how Substack Notes has shifted from a cosy, conversation-based space to feeling more like traditional social media. This change has impacted how we experience it, often pulling us into comparison and distraction.2. Coping with Overwhelm: I shared strategies to help avoid the overwhelm of the Notes feed. For example, I suggested setting the Substack app to open on the newsletter "inbox" rather than Notes so that we're not bombarded with content that might disrupt our calm and pull us out of being creative. 3. Intentional Content Consumption: I talked about how important it is to consume content mindfully. Personally, I only follow people whose content aligns with my interests, like travel and self-care, to create a calmer online experience and steer clear of stressful topics.4. Engagement Alternatives: Instead of relying heavily on Notes, I suggested engaging through thoughtful comments on articles/ posts and using recommendations to build connections and grow on Substack—these feel more intentional and less overwhelming. There's MORE reciprocity and a deeper human-human connection. 5. Organic Growth Tips: A lot of my growth on Substack has come from organic ‘recommendations', and I really encourage others to leverage this too. Collaborating with other writers you connect with is also a great way to reach new and ‘good fit' audiences.6. Depth over Virality: I value “depth of connection” over trying to go viral. While virality can bring a quick influx of subscribers, it's not as meaningful to me as creating joy and building real connections with my community. I've never gone viral anywhere online although I have supported clients to. When we see a feed full of viral notes it's just what Substack has chosen to show us not what is ‘actually' happening… 7. Empathy and User Experience: I encouraged everyone to take a mindful approach when using Notes. We can all adjust our engagement based on personal boundaries and content preferences, making our Substack experience more fulfilling and positive. For more joyful growth join our community and connect to like minded folks who share your passion for creativity and a life without burn out. Thanks for tuning in and let me know if you'd like me to do more lives nature!Any questions? Thoughts, comments on Notes and how you using showing up to connect without feeling flat? Claire ✨PS - Here's some more on recommendations and how to use them here on Substack… ✨ This is a public episode.

Greetings, bonjour, what's happening?Welcome to Lager Time. Still not quite back in the rotuine yet of putting bits out, or to put it another way, I'm inbetween projects at the moment but I'm really enjoying it. I've been tinkering with little poems, stories and anecdotes which I've been sticking up on the Substack Notes section. So for this month, I've taken two of those bits, plus one older poem and played about with sticking some sound underneath.#1 - On Lockdown#2 - On Laughter#3 - The Unlicensed DiverI'll stick the words to each one below, so scrowll down if you want to read.If you can, please subsribe and or recommend this to a friend. It's slowly growing and Lager Time will be 3 years in old October; imagaine that!

Stand Up is a daily podcast. I book,host,edit, post and promote new episodes with brilliant guests every day. Join Christian Finnegan JL Cauvin  and more on August 22 in Queens NY ! Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 700 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls Today I have your headlines, clips and my interview with Aaron Rupar which begins at 27 mins Over three years at Vox, Aaron established himself as one of the foremost chroniclers of Trumpism, explaining what's happening on the American right for a largely progressive audience. He immersed himself in right-wing media and watched Trump rallies so you didn't have to. And he still does that here, with some help from friends. Public Notice is fair, but not impartial. We think democracy and free and fair elections are good things and, unlike a lot of mainstream coverage, are not shy about saying so — or about holding major outlets accountable when they equivocate. I'm extremely proud of the quality and quantity of work we publish each and every week. Recent highlights include my national headline-making scoop on how Sinclair injects deceptive right-wing attacks into local news broadcasts, in-depth explainers of the Trump trials and Supreme Court shenanigans , spicy Q&As with prominent political commentators, the case for Biden as a historically underrated president, and a big picture breakdown of Trump's horrifying second-term agenda. Follow Aaron on twitter (@atrupar) for lots of live video, commentary, and occasional snark. (I also post regularly these days on Threads, Bluesky, and Substack Notes). Email him (atrupar@gmail.com) to pitch story ideas or just get in touch.

Comenzamos la segunda fase de esta “Pretemporada Creador 2024 - 2025”.La semana pasada nos pusimos analíticos y se supone que ya deberíamos saber qué contenidos han funcionado mejor, qué herramientas estaría bien incorporar a esta nueva temporada y cuál va a ser la estructura y calendario editorial.Si no lo tienes, no te preocupes porque todavía estás a tiempo de prepararlo todo.Yo te voy a ir compartiendo cada punto en Notes para que puedas tomarlo como ejemplo y cualquier duda podemos verla en los comentarios.Pero ahora toca seguir avanzando porque falta mucho por preparar:¿Ya estás suscrito a Fail Again?1. Mejora tú mismoTodos tenemos áreas donde podemos mejorar. Yo, por ejemplo, siempre he sido un desastre con el diseño gráfico. ¿Que cómo lo sé? Mis thumbnails parecían sacados de Paint en 1995.El invierno pasado dediqué tiempo a aprender cómo crear miniaturas para vídeos y eso me permitió mejorar sensiblemente en estos diseños.¿Quiere decir que me he convertido en un profesional del diseño gráfico?Ni mucho menos, lo que pasa que ahora entiendo mejor su funcionamiento y he adquirido unos mínimos conceptos que me permiten sacar unas imágenes que para mí ya están aceptables.¿Qué habilidad crees que podría dar un salto de calidad a tu contenido? ¿Copywriting? ¿Edición de video? ¿SEO?¿Storytelling?…Elige una y dedícale 30 minutos al día esta semana. Te sorprenderá lo mucho que puedes aprender en 7 días.Y recuerda, no quieres ser profesional de esa nueva habilidad, simplemente mejorar ese área que se te da “muy mal” para llevarlo a un nivel “aceptable”.2. Networking estratégico"Si quieres ir rápido, ve solo. Si quieres llegar lejos, ve acompañado." Tremenda cita jamás usada.Identifica 5 creadores de tu nicho con los que te gustaría colaborar y que te conozcan. Pero ojo, no les pidas nada... todavía.Estos próximos días, tu misión es:* Seguirlos en todas sus redes* Interactuar de forma genuina con su contenido (comentarios reales y con sentido, no solo emojis

For the past six weeks, a version of the podcast has aired on WTJU 91.1 FM at 6 a.m. For most of this week, I've only posted print editions because I need to more time now to make sure the audio is produced correctly. I spent a good chunk of Friday getting this ready for the airwaves and this Saturday morning all of my energy wants to turn to the next set of stories rather than create a new edition.Town Crier Productions is an experiment in the practice of journalism and this is the latest iteration. There are many more readers than listeners to the podcast, but audio production has been at the heart of my reporting for the past four years. Anyway, take a listen. What's coming up next? There's a Week Ahead tomorrow. After that, stay tuned. And if you want to know more about the production schedule, follow me on Substack Notes. Sometimes it's a print newsletter. Sometimes it's a podcast. Charlottesville Community Engagement always seeks to inform. In this edition:* Charlottesville's City Attorney has filed three motions seeking to dismiss a lawsuit that claims the city's new zoning code is invalid (read the story)* The City of Charlottesville is seeking a new member of the Planning Commission after one member resigned publicly in protest (read the story)* A UVA geriatrician wants you to get a COVID vaccination if you're over the age of 65 and especially over the age of 75 (read the story) * Albemarle Supervisors agree to advertise increases in personal property tax, lodging tax (read the story)* Albemarle Supervisors learn that funding is in place to get more of Biscuit Run Park under construction (read the story)* Albemarle budget officials provide more information about payments that University of Virginia related pay to the county  (read the story)* Albemarle County Police have released an annual report with statistics on crime and the make-up for the force (read the story)Fun fact: I had two minutes remaining in the program so I opted to do a preview of the Week Ahead for next week. If you want to get that information, you'll have to take a listen! This is a public episode.

Gabrielle has shown up on Substack for a whole month in Substack Notes to promote her book. I was super keen to find out from her how it's all felt and is feeling heading towards the USA launch. I loved re-connecting with Gabrielle and I got all the juice on HOW she got her book deal. I know this topic crops up a lot and so I'll give you a sneak that for those of you convincing yourself it's to do with huge online followings you'll be pleasantly surprised. ✨Sharing generosity in it all is so important to me.

"I would like to say that like if you were to imagine social media being completely neutral, it's not good, it's not bad, it's not right, it's not wrong, it's not overwhelming, it's not draining, it's not super exciting, it's nothing right, it's just completely neutral." Hi all,How's your day going? ✨I'm so delighted I've found a new podcast editor - yay!! I want to model what is going on for me in real time in throwing perfectionism out of the window and bringing a podcast to life. It's our conversation live and the way it was and I'm SO cool with it. I have two more episodes coming to wrap up Season One of Sparkle on Substack! Do other people do 14 episode seasons? I'm not sure but that's what's felt GOOD and right for me!

It's the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month of the Twenty-Third Year of the Twenty-First Century. That's 105 years since the Armistice that ended World War One. That's a good reason to put out a special edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement to honor Veterans Day and to mention a few other things. This is also the 600th edition of the newsletter and podcast, and it's good to day to reach a milestone. I'm Sean Tubbs. On today's program:* The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors honors Veterans Day * A delegation from Guatemala is coming to visit Charlottesville* There will soon be another round of maintenance of trees on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall First shout-out: Virginia Veterans Services FoundationIn today's holiday-focused public service announcement, there are 700,000 veterans living in Virginia after serving in the armed forces in conflicts ranging from World War Two to the present day. Many need assistance from time to time, and the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation exists to provide that help. They seek contributions to support:* Virginia Veteran and Family Support* Veterans Care Centers* Virginia Values Veterans Program* Virginia Veterans Cemeteries* Veterans Benefits ProgramVisit the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation website to learn more.Albemarle County Supervisors marks Veterans Day Today is the 85th anniversary of Veterans Day and earlier this month, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors marked the occasion. “Throughout our nation's history, the United States of America has called on its citizens in uniform to serve and to protect our national security,” said Donna Price, the chair of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors and herself a veteran and is a retired U.S. Navy Captain in the Judge Advocate Generals. Price read from a proclamation recognizing the continued celebration of the national holiday.“On this day and every day, we remember the millions of patriots who have served and sacrificed for the betterment of our nation,” Price said. There are many veterans serving in Albemarle County government and in Albemarle County Public Schools and the proclamation is intended to salute their contributions now and in the past. “We, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, do hereby recognize November 11, 2023 as Veterans Day and celebrate all who have served our country around the world,” Price said. Deputy County Executive Trevor Henry is also a retired Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy. “In local government and in schools we believe we have well over 200 employees that in a prior life raised their right hand to support and defend our Constitution,” Henry said. “And when there period of service ended via either retirement or an obligation, they also found their way to our organization.”Three of those employees appeared before the Board to tell a bit of their stories and what they do now. Sergeant Dale Shoop served in the U.S. Army from 1983 to 1986 with some of that time in the demilitarized zone in Korea. He now works in Community Development as an inspector.“Heartfelt acknowledgment to my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my uncle for serving in the Royal Air Force, the Royal Army, and Royal Navy in Great Brain and England,” Shoop said. “Thank you to my father who served in the United States Army and my son who served in the United States Army and continues to serve in the intelligence sector.” Sergeant Roger Snodgrass served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 2002 to 2007 before joining the U.S. Army where he served under active duty through 2014. “Sergeant Snodgrass joined Albemarle County as a police officer in 2014 and currently holds the rank of sergeant on evening shift patrol,” Henry said. Snodgrass thanked the county for being an organization that's friendly to veterans. “As an individual who has multiple friends and family members in other local government, I do have the opportunity to say that this is a high performance organization,” Snodgrass said. “With our Board of Supervisors, our county executive's office, and our command staff with Albemarle County police department, they allow us to be able to provide outstanding customer services, day in, day out.”Reynaldo Avali served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a bridge crew member with the 299th Engineering Division beginning in 1995 with multiple deployments to Iraq. “During the first deployment to Iraq, they placed two bridges over the Euphrates River for combat operations,” Henry said. “The second time his unit was responsible for maintaining the bridges, training Iraqi engineers, and responsible for removing six bridges for retrograde operations.” During that time, Avali has also worked in building services for Albemarle County Public Schools where he continues to serve. Supervisor Bea LaPisto Kirtley thanked all of the veterans assembled in Lane Auditorium for their service. “It is something that you all do for us to keep our democracy safe, to keep all of us safe,” LaPisto Kirley said. “It is a solemn oath that you take to protect all of us and please be aware that all of us appreciate it. I think all of America really appreciates your service.”Supervisor Ned Gallaway expressed his appreciation as well and said he recently went back to his hometown to clear out his parents' home.“And we found my dad's formal dress uniform which  I had never seen in my life,” Gallaway said. “My brother-in-law who also served was navigating me around the different patches and such telling me, informing me what those were. And then we also found in a trunk a bunch of letters that my grandfather sent my grandmother during the war, but we found the official communication that he was [missing in action]. He was a prisoner of war and he thankfully was able to return at the end of World War II and he became a police officer.” Supervisor Diantha McKeel took the opportunity to share some resources that are available through Region 10 to veterans. Take a look here if you would like more information. “Region 10 currently has a partnership with Virginia Lock and Talk with resources available for all individuals including veterans to receive medical lock boxes and bags as well as trigger locks for firearms to assist individuals and families in locking up lethal means,” McKeel said. “Virginia Veterans Service Foundation also has a homeless veterans' fund and has been able to provide one-time assistance to homeless veterans to support rent, utility, and rental deposits.”   McKeel said Region 10 has also recently hired a peer support specialist to specifically assist veterans. Supervisor Ann Mallek used her time to mention the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2044 in Earlysville and American Legion Post 74 in Shadwell.“These organizations take care of their own,” Mallek said. “They raised funds most recently to buy a new medical transport van to help their fellows get to remote medical services.”Those services are currently a one-way 90-mile drive to south of Richmond. Mallek called for a veterans clinic to be located closer to home, particularly with the potential for expansion at Rivanna Station. Mallek also put in a plug for an organization called Living Free Together which also provides support to veterans and military families.  Price thanked Mallek for bringing up the role that families play and said that she was grateful for support from hers during her career. “Military service is frequently a family affair,” Price said. “From the Civil War through World War One, World War Two, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, to today…My father, a 97-year-old World War II Navy Combat vet. My son, a major in the Marine Corps. Myself with my own service. You'll find that people who work with or serve the county often have other family members who similarly provide public service.” Albemarle County also held a ceremony at 11 a.m. to mark Veterans Day.   Guatemalan Sister City delegation visiting next week Technically, Huehuetenango is not one of Charlottesville's Sister Cities. Instead, the western Guatemalan community is a Friendship City which is one step away. Either way, a delegation from that community will be visiting next week. “The goal of the delegation's visit is to forge initial ties between the government and citizens of Charlottesville and Huehuetenango,” reads a press release announcing the trip that will take place Monday through Wednesday. This is the first time more than one person from Huehuetenango has visited the area since the relationship was formalized in 2021.  There are two public events happening:* Coffee Open House, Tuesday, November 14, 9:00 – 11:00, Omni Hotel (212 Ridge McIntire Rd, Charlottesville, VA): This is a chance to learn more about Charlottesville's Sister and Friendship Cities and an opportunity to meet the delegation and drink free Guatemalan coffee brought from Huehuetenango. * Public Reception and Program, Wednesday, November 15, 6:00 PM – 7:30 pm, City Space (100 Fifth St NE, Charlottesville, VA): Charlottesville Mayor Lloyd Snook and Huehuetenango Mayor Gustavo Cano will signing of the Friendship declaration between the two communities. “The event will feature Marimba Music, a short program featuring words of friendship and welcome between the two cities and a choral arrangement from CHS ensemble.” The way toward this relationship dates back to the work of The Ixtatán Foundation, a group formed in 2001 to help build a high school in a small town in the greater Huehuetenango province. Charlottesville prepping for more work on Downtown Mall treesA dozen and a half people gathered on a recent Monday evening on the Downtown Mall outside the Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Department's offices to learn more about impending tree work to address safety. Urban Forester Steve Gaines held a laser pointer and directed it towards a dead branch he said presents a hazard. “If you think about like mid summer or in the weeks that we have the holidays coming up,” Gaines said. “How many people are going to be walking on the Mall? Thousands a day.” Gaines said his job as an arborist is to protect people and the trees themselves by trying to understand how they may react. “What is the probability of that branch failing? And if it does fail, does it land on another branch on its way down? Is it going to hit a building? Is it going to hit a person? What's the probability? When might it happen? Would it take a major wind event? A major snow event, something like that?” The bosques of Willow Oaks planted in the mid-70's are a very important component of the historic Lawrence Halprin design for the pedestrian mall. Many are also approaching their 60th year and their health has not always been closely watched. In December 2015, a report was published that called for a management plan. (read the report)“Despite the good initial outward appearances of the tree planting, the stand of oak trees is in a fragile, declining state,” reads the executive summary of that report. “The overly tight spacing of the trees and the insistence on paving right up to the base of the trunks of the trees has set in motion a series of biological factors that is beginning to push many of the trees to the point of failure.”  In the summer of 2017, there was momentum toward putting a management plan in place with another tree walk similar to the one from late October. (Could Downtown Mall trees be on the chopping block?, Kayli Wren, Charlottesville Tomorrow, July 26, 2017)Downtown Mall tree management faded as a priority as other events took place in the summer of 2017. Earlier this year, the city moved forward with a plan to remove several damaged or dead trees. Urban forester Steve Gaines held another walk on October 30 to prepare for another round of maintenance. “The purpose here was mostly to inform folks about tree work that is very likely coming this winter once the trees go completely dormant,” said Steve Gaines, the urban forester for the City of Charlottesville. “We will be going through to do some pruning. We call it crown cleaning as in we are removing some of the obvious hazards. Two inch deadwood and above.” Gaines said the event also had provided an opportunity to explain more about a forthcoming plan to manage the trees on the Downtown Mall going forward. The firm Wolf Josey Landscape Architects won the contract from the City of Charlottesville for the management plan.The work that Gaines talked about on October 30 was more pressing and continued work done in January of this year.“Every year I do an assessment and I take pictures and hit trees with the mallet and figure out what we're doing with decay,” Gaines said. Gaines held the event and will do more like it in the future because he understands how important the trees are to Charlottesville. “This is the Downtown Mall's tree, so it's a very sensitive, very historic topic and people feel very strongly about these trees and we just want to make sure that everybody is well-informed about what is going on with the trees and make people realize that they are going through an inflection point right now and to some degree there is some hazard,” Gaines said.“Most of those bigger limbs are very dead,” he said to the group while looking at one cluster of trees in front of the parking garage. During the tour, Gaines also explained more about how the trees interact with fungus, with bugs, other chemicals, and how they're affected by a changing climate. Stay tuned for more information about trees on the Downtown Mall and across the entire area. Reading material:* Charlottesville moves forward with apartment-quashing land buy, Hawes Spencer, Charlottesville Daily Progress (paywall) November 8, 2023* Charlottesville High School principal resigns, Jason Armesto, Charlottesville Daily Progress (paywall) November 9, 2023* Bigger at last: Text for historic marker recognizing Charlottesville slave trade revealed, Hawes Spencer, Charlottesville Daily Progress (paywall) November 10, 2023Concluding notes for #600Saturday editions feel good to produce, especially after taking a couple of days off in which I tried to not even think about this work. This week's time change took its toll on me, which I always hope won't happen but does all the same. Rest is not my ideal state of being, but it's good to be ready for the rest of the year. There's still so much to get through, and I'm grateful you're here to read or listen. As there is no regular schedule as of yet, you can find out if I'm publishing on a given day by looking at my page on Substack Notes.

I caught up with Substack co-founders and at Substack's office in San Francisco last week. They're fresh off raising a community fundraising round and launching their social network Notes. I wrote in March about my decision to invest $5,000 in Substack's fundraising round, even though the company revealed that it had negative revenue in 2021:I'm already compromised when it comes to Substack. They've made my job possible. And while I already have plenty of financial exposure to Substack's performance just by dint of running my business on Substack's platform, I'm eager to have a chance to show my support.So this is the rare — hopefully singular — interview where I can't claim true editorial independence. I'm compromised on this one. Still, I think you'll find it an informative and entertaining conversation. I'm able to bring my perspective as a Substack writer to the conversation and I can't help but fish for drama and news.This episode of Newcomer is brought to you by VantaSecurity is no longer a cost center — it's a strategic growth engine that sets your business apart.

It is impossible to imbed tweets in Substack posts anymore. Adding some intrigue to the tensions, Andreessen Horowitz, Substack's largest outside investor, is an investor in Musk's Twitter. And, Musk actually long ago hired McKenzie, a former PandoDaily reporter, to write for Tesla.“I try to think about Elon as little as possible,” McKenzie said in our conversation at Substack's office. “What we're trying to do here is not build the anti-Twitter or build the anti-Instagram or anything like that. We're trying to build the first Substack. The vision for what we think it can become is an amazing, beautiful thing and it's bigger and more important than social media.”McKenzie acknowledged that “arguably Twitter is trying to kill Substack.”I asked about newsletter godfather Ben Thompson's critique of Substack's community round in his newsletter. Thompson wrote in April:We know that valuation because Substack asked its writers to fund a round at the same $650 million post-money valuation it achieved in 2021, despite the fact the company failed to raise money last year; the company never released its 2022 financials.Frankly, I think this request was shameful: Substack has rightly earned the affection of a lot of writers by providing them with a new way to earn money, and of course those writers want Substack to succeed. Keeping such a lofty valuation, though, is effectively asking for a donation from an audience that almost by definition doesn't know any better. That doesn't seem very writer friendly! Nor, for that matter, does this fight with Twitter. Again, I think this is a product bet that makes a lot of sense: Substack needs to take big swings if it's ever going to reach its valuation. Writers, though, who need Twitter's distribution, didn't sign up for this fight; they are simply stuck in the middle.We also talked about Best's botched podcast interview with The Verge's Nilay Patel. In the interview (here's a link to the key exchange), Patel hammered Best on Substack's stance on blocking overt racism on Notes. In that interview, Best declined to say that Substack would ban particular objectionable racist comments from the platform unilaterally. In my conversation with him, Best continued to oppose “centralized censorship” on Substack's platform. And he doubled-down on his answer, saying that he had “basically the same answer.”Best said, “We do have a content policy. It allows a lot of stuff we don't like. It bans only very extreme things. If people are putting things that are against the overall content policy, they are taken down by us. However, that allows a lot of stuff that we find very objectionable. Then we try to build a system that puts people in control of what they see and who they interact with.”As should be pretty obvious from the conversation, I think that if Substack Notes is successful, it will actually be much more curated than many other social networks. Writers want to give their readers a premium, elevated experience — not just a platform that does the bare minimum of content moderation. So I'm optimistic over time that Substack will find ways to empower writers to curate the platform. Even though Substack often finds itself talking about free speech and tough moderation decisions, in many ways what the company has built is a system where writers are given the power to moderate the platform themselves. The last thing I'll tease from the conversation is that the Substack founders no longer come off as diametrically opposing to supporting advertising. Judge their answer for yourself.In the conversation we name-dropped a bunch of newsletters and Substack writers, including Give it a listen.Find the Podcast Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

Then we try to build a system that puts people in control of what they see and who they interact with.”As should be pretty obvious from the conversation, I think that if Substack Notes is successful, it will actually be much more curated than many other social networks. Writers want to give their readers a premium, elevated experience — not just a platform that does the bare minimum of content moderation. So I'm optimistic over time that Substack will find ways to empower writers to curate the platform. Even though Substack often finds itself talking about free speech and tough moderation decisions, in many ways what the company has built is a system where writers are given the power to moderate the platform themselves. The last thing I'll tease from the conversation is that the Substack founders no longer come off as diametrically opposing to supporting advertising. Judge their answer for yourself.In the conversation we name-dropped a bunch of newsletters and Substack writers, including Give it a listen.Find the Podcast Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

En este episodio invitamos a Emilio Cano (Emilcar) y Víctor Correal para hablar de la nueva funcionalidad de Substack: Substack notes.

En este capítulo 2331 de Emilcar Daily, hablo sobre mi más reciente experiencia con Substack, una increíble plataforma para crear newsletters y llegar a más personas. Os cuento cómo, tras la eliminación de mi anterior newsletter en la plataforma de Twitter llamada Revue – gracias a Elon Musk -, decidí darle una oportunidad a Substack y me quedé impresionado con todas las opciones que ofrecen. Además, comparto cómo empecé a recomendar música antigua en Apple Music Classical en mi newsletter y cómo descubrí que es posible tener varias newsletters en Substack sin problema alguno.En este capítulo, también analizo la útil función de Substack Notes, que permite a los usuarios interactuar con las newsletters y establecer conversaciones. A diferencia de Twitter, gracias a Substack Notes puedes ver los comentarios de los usuarios que leen tu newsletter y tener un diálogo con ellos. Profundizo en las tres pestañas de Notes que facilitan la lectura de las publicaciones tanto de aquellos a los que sigues como de aquellos que te siguen.

beware those who are quick to censorthey are afraid of what they do not knowbeware those who seek constant crowds forthey are nothing alone - Charles BukowskiAn old friend texted me recently to ask how I was handling the “new Twitter.” I had to think for a minute, and then I realized that in the language of the Left, he meant that Elon Musk had bought the site, and now it's overrun by hate speech and neo-Nazis. Do I still feel safe using it? “Oh,” I texted back. “I'm not in the bubble of the Left anymore, so it doesn't bother me. I like it. I am a fan of free speech.” There was a long pause, something I've become accustomed to when conversing with someone on the Left. They don't want to argue. They don't want to go any further. They just want to slowly back away. The idea that Twitter was now overrun by “hate speech” was just an accepted reality because that is how much power the blue-checks on Twitter have to influence the mainstream media narrative, which trickles down everywhere.But when a viral video circulated with a BBC reporter who could not name even one example of hate speech, that didn't make news in the mainstream because it contradicted the narrative.The story will make the rounds on the Right, but the mainstream narrative has more power, and if a story contradicts the government's official narrative, it will never make the news. That's still true with Musk as the new owner, but it's a step up from the government using Twitter as a filter to silence dissent. That Twitter users had enough power and status to decide reality is what made Twitter dangerous. This has been true since the beginning, as it slowly became the most powerful propaganda tool the Democrats had. Once Musk took over Twitter and decided the blue checks were granting status to people deemed “special” but not to others, he set about messing with their own self-importance by taking away their privilege of the verification badge, giving users who pay a monthly fee the opportunity to have a blue check instead.What is brilliant about this, and maybe most people don't get it, is that Musk understood the collective power of the blue-check army and now he's punctured it, dismantled it, like stealing all of their horses in the middle of the night, leaving them nowhere to go to fight the next battle. But they aren't used to anyone challenging their power. Musk has been feeling the impact of their collective wrath ever since. HOW DARE YOU! “I'm not paying for that,” they proclaimed. But oh, how delicious it will be to see some of these once-mighty prominent legacy blue-checks naked without that little verification symbol. Supposedly that's somehow ruined Twitter. What it's done is democratize it. It might be more chaotic now, maybe even slightly more unpredictable, but that makes it more thrilling, not less. What “ruined” Twitter was the #resistance, transforming the platform into one massive propaganda outlet for The Democrats in an imaginary battle with Donald Trump that began in 2017, when the company tweaked its algorithm to push more engaged tweets to the top of everyone's feed.Even if they have the choice to see “latest Tweets,” most prefer to see what tweets are driving the narratives in a given day so they can ride the wave of outrage, whatever is trending, whatever person is “it,” who can be dunked on, humiliated or bullied into an apology or chased off the platform entirely.The bullying on Twitter had become a problem, not just for users, but corporations and institutions that were suddenly worried about being hurled into the public arena for shaming. That is Twitter's curse and power, which is why Musk never needed to sweat competition like Substack Notes. As someone who has been swarmed and bullied more times than I can count, I already feel a little more free using Twitter now. They're right that it has changed. But Musk didn't ruin it. He rescued it.Elon's StumbleElon Musk has made, by my calculations, only one major mistake since he took over Twitter, and that was assuming journalist Matt Taibbi owed him something after the two broke the all-important Twitter Files story. He thought Taibbi should move his Substack over to Twitter to help Twitter profit. But this vindicated the hysterical rantings by people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Mehdi Hasan. They accused Taibbi and others of being bought and paid for by “the Richest Man in the World.” Now they had proof that was the intention all along.Taibbi, however, was never working for Musk, and if he has any loyalty, it's to Substack, where he's built his substantial following of readers like me who rely on him to tell us the truth. It's also his main source of income. Musk isn't paying him. It wasn't so much what he did to Taibbi that was the mistake. It was more about giving up a powerful Chess piece he had with the alliance of journalists investigating the Twitter files. Despite how the legacy media has been trying to downplay it, it is the story of the year, maybe of the decade. This was not a fight worthy of Musk and the power he now holds with Twitter.And frankly, Taibbi didn't deserve it. He put his reputation on the line, and was interrogated by Democrats in Congress who treated him like a traitor to his own country. He had to sit there as Mehdi Hasan performed some odd “gotcha” theater just so he could send out Tweets, anticipating the pats on the heads from the smug and self-righteous brigade. GET HIM, they collectively hissed. How dare he try to embarrass the Security State! To hold the powerful to account! How dare he do journalism!Taibbi and Musk were on the same side, and fracturing that relationship, and devaluing the Twitter files, is too big of a win for the blue-checks. Substack Notes was never going to be a threat to Twitter. No other social media site has the power to humiliate influential, high-status people. It is the designated arena for public shaming, and it's the only one. Unfortunately for the left, they don't realize they were largely responsible for making Twitter that powerful. And now it's backfiring on them. Musk should have Taibbi back to work on the Twitter Files to keep up the pressure and drive heat from Substack back to Twitter to form a powerful resistance against the dominant groupthink.Musk is under enormous pressure now, with the legacy media attacking him daily, not to mention our government seeking his destruction. To the Biden administration, he barely exists except as a threat, not with his SpaceX program or Tesla. That does illustrate perfectly what the modern Democrats value, and it's not success or hard work or innovation. Regardless, Musk's power in working with Taibbi and others on the Twitter files, whether they continued or not, was making them sweat. Otherwise, there would not have been such a massive effort to pretend they were meaningless.What a sad state of affairs when people like David Frum, your classic blue-check, marinate in their own smug satisfaction. Their fame, such as it is, being a big fish in a tiny pond, hopelessly addicted to the hearts and the RTs. Imagine being a guy who did matter once, now having to turn to a flattering reflecting pool to feel a tiny flicker of importance.Their job was supposed to be to chase the story as Taibbi did. Instead, their jobs became chasing the reporters. Elon's Warning 2016 was the first time Mark Zuckerberg put his powerful new toy, Facebook, to the test, and it helped Trump win. But by 2020, Zuckerberg, probably because he wanted to absolve himself of the guilt of 2016, “helped” the Democrats with not just a $400 million cash infusion but also that same technology to “find” the right voters not to suppress their vote but to collect their ballots.If Zuckerberg has data on almost 300 million Americans, imagine how easy it would be to find those exact voters to pull in wins in key swing states where the “enthusiasm gap” would have led to a second term for Trump. While no one can ever prove this is what they did, Mollie Hemingway's book on the 2020 election details just how deep Zuckerberg's involvement went. Now, factor in the power of AI. Democrats are ready to use influencers already whoring themselves out to big brands to convince a generation raised on brands to imprint on the Democratic Party. It won't be that hard to use AI to ensure the right news gets to the right people, and the bad news stays out. They don't even need the blue-check army anymore with AIs shaping the media narrative. The Democrats seem to only want power now. They've sacrificed everything they used to value, from objecting to dark money and Citizens United, to aligning themselves with the Deep State, defending the FBI and the CIA. They're certainly not the Democratic Party I grew up supporting.The War of the WordsSo much of the reaction to Trump had to do with what the Left had become before 2016. If political correctness was already a problem in the 90s, by 2015 it had become almost a crisis in America. Everyone noticed it.From 2015:Even before that, back in 2011, this video talked about the rise of political correctness, tying it to the Frankfurt School and its influence on colleges with Critical Theory. Watching this video is shocking because it could have been made today. What was confined to college campuses has now become our entire country at the hands of the Democrats and their powerful alliance with cultural and corporate America.The Left colonized the internet first, and especially the social media empires. Twitter was co-opted by Barack Obama's campaign back in 2008 as a revolutionary way to mobilize young people. From then on, the Democrats, or left-leaning, college-educated eggheads, dominated Twitter. Trump was the first major threat to that power as Trump used Twitter in a way no other Republican or even any politician had. He used it to go over the heads of the media and get his message to the people directly. The more he tweeted, the bigger his follower count grew.Trump was the existential crisis to the Left not because of anything he did but because of what he said. That he was overtly offensive at a time of extreme word policing was his superpower, and the thing about him that sent much of the Left cascading into waves of hysteria for the four years he was in power.But that was always what Trump represented. He was the guy who shocked people with what he said because it was brutally honest. That was true in the 80s and true on his show. Anyone who was a fan of The Apprentice often took what Trump said with a grain of salt. But the eggheads on Twitter, the intellectuals, weren't watching The Apprentice so they took what he said literally. Here is a clip from The Apprentice and 1980s Trump.So much of the battle for Twitter is simply about words. Words control ideology, which ultimately controls the people. Musk's objection to how Twitter was being managed was that they had the power to decide what words were allowed, what jokes were allowed, and what news stories were allowed, and that, he rightly believed, was not only destroying Twitter but it was destroying our country too and everything we value.I've heard people say that Elon Musk cares what people think of him, as though they've cast him as a supervillain with no feelings or compassion. Why wouldn't he care? Not many people can take that level of incoming and wipe the slate clean the next day. But we need him. We need more people like him to thrust a bold middle finger at the information monopoly the Left controls. We need more people with courage to carve a path out of this crippling sea of misery we've created. We need role models who are resilient and who send the message to the young that words are just words. We can survive them. Musk is still a superhero for the modern age, smart enough to notice what threatens our civilization, brave enough to speak up about it, and rich enough to buy Twitter for 44 billion. The tweets by the blue-checks that they seem to think matter are just cyber dust - a layer of data to trap them in time as people who were caught up in their own unearned importance before the whole thing came collapsing down, before Twitter and this country were wrestled free from their grasp.

L'arrivée d'Elon Musk à la tête de Twitter n'a pas été sans heurts. Nombreux licenciements, problèmes techniques, changements à l'arrache et absence de modération. Ce réseau social est très particulier : ce n'est pas le plus gros (c'est un nain comparé à Facebook) mais c'est peut être le plus influent, car de nombreuses personnes publiques et les médias y sont. C'est un peu la foire, où se côtoient le pire comme le meilleur. Mais avec Greg, on l'aime bien ! Nombreux sont ceux qui pensent que le réseau à l'oiseau bleu vit ses derniers jours. De nombreux projets ont donc décidé de proposer une alternative. On vous emmène dans cet épisode découvrir les enjeux de ces alternatives et pourquoi l'état de Twitter est une opportunité. Nous vous ferons aussi découvrir 3 protocoles que nous avons testé : Mastodon, Post, Substack Notes, Lens

"Traffic ist verschwindend gering, automatisierter Feed kostet uns Geld, Aufwand zu groß im Vergleich zu den Ressourcen." So begründet der österreichische Standard unter anderem die Entscheidung, einen Twitter-Kanal fürs Erste dicht zu machen. Wir fragen uns in dieser Folge bei 9vor9: Warum sind überhaupt noch so viele Medien auf Twitter? Warum gibt es nicht mehr Unternehmen und Organisationen, die Twitter verlassen und somit den Druck auf das Unternehmen und seinen untragbaren Besitzer erhöhen? Was muss noch passieren. Viele Spaß beim Hören.

It is fair to say that Substack has had a dramatic week and a half or so, and I talked to their CEO Chris Best about it. The company announced a new feature called Substack Notes, which looks quite a bit like Twitter — Substack authors can post short bits of text to share links and kick off discussions, and people can reply to them, like the posts, the whole thing. Like I said, Twitter. Twitter, under the direction of Elon Musk, did not like the prospect of this competition, and for several days last week, Twitter was taking aggressive actions against Substack. At one point you couldn't even like tweets with Substack links in them. At another point, clicking on a Substack link resulted in a warning message about the platform being unsafe. And finally, Twitter redirected all searches for the word Substack to “newsletter.” Musk claimed Substack was somehow downloading the Twitter database to bootstrap Substack Notes, which, well, I'm still not sure what that means, but I at least asked Chris what he thought that meant and whether he was doing it.  It's tempting to think of Substack like a rival platform to Twitter, but until the arrival of Substack Notes, it was much more like enterprise software. With Substack Notes, the company is in direct competition with social networks like Twitter. It's shipping a consumer product that's designed to be used by Substack readers. It is no longer just a software vendor; it's a consumer product company. And that carries with it another set of content moderation concerns, that, after talking to Chris, I'm just not sure Substack is ready for. Like, I really don't know. You'll just have to listen to his answers — or really, non-answers — for yourself. This is a wild one. I'm still processing it. Let me know what you think. Okay, Chris Best, CEO of Substack.

Last week, Elon kicked off a feud with both Substack and his very own former Twitter Files ingénue (and Substack star), Matt Taibbi. Kara and Nayeema break down the battle of the bros before turning to an interview with those at the center of the storm: Substack co-founders Chris Best and Hamish McKenzie. The two address questions about Substack Notes (which Elon dubbed, and they deny, is a “Twitter clone”), the challenging business model of newsletters and their stance on free expression. Somehow, they manage to avoid uttering the name “Elon.” Kara doesn't shy away though.  Questions? Comments?

Mikah talks about HBO rebranding its online streaming service, HBO Max, into just 'Max' and the changes that come with this rebranding. Taylor Lorenz of The Washington Post chats with Mikah and Jason about Substack rolling out a new feature called Notes, which functions similarly to Twitter. Finally, Jason talks about some "thirsty" ChatGPT. More specifically, research from some universities suggests that around 185k gallons of water have been used to cool down data centers for services like ChatGPT.
