I want to point out that Substack has a dogshit app and I cannot figure out how to edit posts and I also cannot figure out how to make posts directly from the app. I have to go to Safari to even find the option to make new posts.

And the formatting is dogshit but I can’t fix it now because I don’t know how to edit.

You can't edit posts in the app, only on the website. How stupid is that!?

It's as stupid as the WSJ's app - you can't see or add comments on the app only on the website. STUPID!

You can’t edit posts in the app. I’ve complaint to them about this but their contact is now no longer a live person it’s AI chat. Totally useless.

I gave up on the app and just use the website. Much more functionality. And editing!

And seeing your own posts. You can’t even go back to what you’ve posted unless someone liked it or responded to it.

Are you talking about the glitch that after an indeterminate amount of comments has been posted, clicking on a notification takes you to the beginning of the comment section and you have to scrollscrollscroll through to find the comment you were notified about? Because that fucking enrages me.

Yes, and that too. It is very irritating. But I meant that I would like to see my post before anyone had a reaction to it in case I want to edit it. Now, I can only edit it if someone likes or replies.

I figured out what you meant when I re-read your comment after posting mine. But of course I couldn’t edit in the app. 🙄

Kevin! I'm so glad you did this post. I just want to tell you that I literally read your comments first then read the TGIF article second.

I only pay to see your comments and have been doing so for a couple years now.

Third I hate the commenters on TGIF, Kevin. I hate them like poison, I want to name names. They are so smug, so lame, so fucking...bah!!

I used to comment my feral yet correct opinions like you, (not as witty though) and I couldn't handle the heat. So I just lurk.

Anyway, I hate them and like you. Please, do more! I think you'll get very popular.

By the way, that meme'd Bari Weiss picture on your piece was great! The smug self-satisfaction on her face is quite typical. She left (was forced out?) the NYT making big news. Then she started "Common Sense". She picked up a lot of subscribers, particularly those who admired her prose in her resignation letter. Lotsa folks know how utterly corrupt and communist NYT is. She made headlines with her involvement on the University of Austin Texas start up. She was involved in the initial dumps of Twitter files that showed the involvement of Biden/Federal Government censorship of social media, especial the pre-Musk Twitter. But her involvement in parsing out the meaning of the files dumped quickly evaporated - only Taibbi and Shellenberger continued examining it. TFP? Crickets.

Weiss has continued the increasingly cringeyinterviews on her Honestly podcast. And now she fancies herself among the power brokers she once cuddled with at NYT. She presents as a smug, self-satisfied being with her guests. The Jerry Seinfeld piece, which was also video is a case in point.

She has simply become what she once decried: A member (at least wannabe - of the coastal elite.She hangs with Dem Party power broker/donors. She publishes Left or lLeft-leaning authors (Savoidnik, Wiseman). Bowles is funny,. but kinda lightweight.

I really won't miss TFP weeny sub ends. I an get news elsewhere (and there really is little actual news/journalism on TFP.

Sadly, to a large extent Bari has become what she claimed she was getting away from... she still shares 90% of the ideology of the staff at the NYT and even on the other 10%, her allegiance to being a Liberal still holds more power over her than which candidate best represents her views on most topics.. (ask yourself these questions: which candidate is a bigger supporter of Israel (which appears to be one of Bari's biggest issues)..... which candidate is a bigger supporter of womans rights (note- not those who "identify" as a woman).. which candidate is a bigger supporter of parental rights).. so for Bari apparently abortion Trumps all those issues or she's just another liberal with an incurable case of TDS. My take is its the latter.

MUSLIMS KILLED over 80,000 BLACKS in Nigeria.

MUSLIMS KILLED over 45,000 CHRISTIANS in Nigeria

What did Christian Biden do?

What did black Harris do?

Moved US troops out of Nigeria so Muslims could continue killing Blacks and Christians

Nice picture of Bari. Thank you for the Saturday morning smorgasbord of passion, sarcasm and insanity. My FP suspension ends in twenty minutes. I now know ComProf is a favorite son. As best I can I will

focus on Kamala’s fake ghetto persona. I concede her white ancestor was probably a slave owner who impregnated a slave. Her new Jewish connection is sickening. Her husband is a non religious Jew who

didn’t know the Hanukkah story. Her step daughter is a second generation non religious Jew who aids and abets Hamas. The Obama family is more authentic.

I could not stop laughing over Emhoff’s version of the Chanukah story. He is a know-nothing Jew who’s an embarrassment to his proud ancestors.

Kamala is, as a personality, irritating and fake. Her record is untainted by a single accomplishment or credit. Her much-mocked cackling idiocy was her trying to pretend to be likeable, without a clue as to how. Her actual personality is all hostility, all attack. She's profoundly odious, spectacularly worthless, regardless of one's political leanings.

Of course American leftist women claimed (proudly!) to get aroused by the likes of Schiff and Avenatti when they were in full attack on DT (proving, btw, how right Trump was with his "grab em by the pussy" shit-talk: groupie mentality, full stop; the remark is resented so deeply because it is the vulgar, moist, throbbing Truth), so I never underestimate the ability of these zombies to see and feel exactly as intended, on demand. Any other context, and the likes of Schiff and Avenatti would've had them scrambling for a can of Raid.

So she'll likely wear out her artificial welcome; the fumes she runs on are nothing but the same ol' stale Trump-hate, and that population's relief at losing the burden of trying to stay convinced that Joe was a functional adult human. If she tanks quickly enough, and they haven't successfully produced "Kill Trump II" by then, they'll invent a way to swap her out for... who knows, a boxing kangaroo, an animated cartoon, a crate of coconuts. Makes no difference.

“Her record is untainted by a single accomplishment or credit.” I love this and plan to use it. But, according to Elizabeth Warren, she is the only VP who has visited an abortion clinic. That’s something, right?

Pelosi: “Politically, make no mistake: Kamala Harris as a woman in politics is brilliantly astute”. And only a year ago even Democrats were ashamed of her idiocy and weird behavior. How did she raise her IQ so quickly? Asking for a friend.

Nice to "see" you KD?. Please do not fret over TGIF. TFP, including TGIF, is not worthy of your time much less your talent. BW has an interesting mention in Musk's biography. Sounds like she got her undies in a wad and reverted to her true sympathies.

You can take Bari out of the NYT but you can’t take the NYT out of Bari. Once a lefty, always a lefty. And she pulled her last resort card…censorship. So typical.

Louisa Enright's avatar

She won't risk taking on the left folks more than a tiny, tiny bit as she WOULD lose their support financially and be thrown out of "her people" crowd/mob. She would be mocked and banned by them. Enough said. But by censoring those to the right and by choosing who runs the platform and who writes for the platform, without any attempt to find meaningful political balance, she is just NYTimes light. And a kind of gossipy version of political PEOPLE magazine. There is NO excuse for not calling out Harris for what she is and for calling out Biden still being in office and for the whole slimy process of getting Biden out of the election and installing Harris.

Kevin, your banning was the final straw on TFP for me. I was so hopeful that Common Sense/TFP would be different- that truth and independent thinking would actually be pursued. How disappointed I am.

Same. I paid an annual founding member subscription to TFP. A jar of cellulite cream would be a less useless and disappointing investment. I’m emailing TFP to let them know I’m not renewing because they banned you, fully aware that it is a futile and stupid gesture.

Kevin: It’s been a week. Where are you commenting? Please direct your fans, thanks.

If you need inspiration for a post have a good topic for you. There is an elephant in the room, so to speak. The covid “emergency” ended May 11, 2023 - last year (I remember the date because I had a medical appointment at the hospital and walked in ready with the mask I was told was required in the reminder message; when I was about to put it on reception said “yesterday you had to have it, not today” emergency over). The covid shots and boosters are Still being administered under Emergency Use Authorization. Seems good for a rant!
