“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law, must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power: the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice; his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness” — Edward Gibbon (who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

Yeah, so... Substack, I'm out
“Substack announced a new partnership with #Polymarket earlier this week. I guess if #Substack is the future of media (it isn’t), then the future of media is gambling. (That’s bad though. You see why that’s bad, right?)
Unsurprisingly, I hate it. This is noxious for society and particularly toxic for writers. Basketball blogger Tom Ziller articulated the problem well in his newsletter this morning”
