@krishnanrohit It lets you buy a share in a bunch of disorganized documents as "paperclip offsets"

@storcube I think right now it's limited to substacks with a certain amount of paying subscribers. I don't know for sure.

I have access to notes. It's pretty OK so far. The initial killer feature for me is the ability to quickly drag quotes from my articles to tweet-like formats - I'm lazy, and this pleases me.

@realChrisBrunet I love this.

[Resident Contrarian @ResidentContra1]

@realChrisBrunet haha eat it

[Resident Contrarian @ResidentContra1]

@realChrisBrunet So I don't know for sure (because I'm not sure how to check) but it's vaguely possible I was banned by her several hours ago for giving her shit. I'm gonna check

This morning Twitter started throttling links to our platform.

@TheZvi At least I think so - occasionally I run into people who think it's impossible to determine if someone is lying, and that you shouldn't try or act as if they are. And I think it's because they never needed "reasonably reliable algo" solutions to keep themselves safe/uncheated.

[Resident Contrarian @ResidentContra1]

@TheZvi Basically anyone who grew up around environments in which lying/bullshitting/scamming was common, and who got taken in by it once or twice in a serious, costly way has a better sense of lying than someone who didn't.

@waitbutwhy Writing is success.

@gptbrooke @potterlab To be fair, just because I do something doesn't make it stylish. I have to be wearing the right hat to make that happen.

@gptbrooke Some Bible overlap here as well

@william_collen You know the part you will hate, though? I couldn't have told you what that was from. I probably got it off a decorative painted wood wall hanging.

@william_collen I know that doesn't say "Bionicle", but why not?

@galo2099 @william_collen Interesting. the www. works

Alright guys, can I make it to 300 by the end of the day? If you know someone who could use another substack blog—this one being about aesthetics from a Christian perspective—send them over to https://t.co/d8cJUM4tnx

@krishnanrohit I once convinced my wife that she should spend a bunch of time with me, basically permanently.
