Or take your Bluetooth earbuds in the car and let your kids listen to Daniel Tiger music on the car stereo. The only downside is every two minutes they say, "Daddy, why you laughing? What's so funny?"
I am one of the "I don't super love Patreon" types, so want to send a quick note to remind everyone where the anti Patreon sentiment came from. Kmele mentioned Dave Rubin jumping ship, there was also Jordan Peterson at the height of his come up, as well as Sam Harris and probably a bunch of smaller content creators that all left. They did this because Patreon had broken a long standing internet norm/taboo by throwing "Sargon of Akkad" off of their platform for something he said on a different platform!! (youtube)
I know complaining of such things as the formation of the "online social surveillance archipelago" seems quaint given the tenor of the general discourse surrounding freedom or expression online in 2022. But I think it is worth remembering it hasn't been that long since online culture has turned away from John Parry Barlow style guiding principals, to this gross, flat, mediated, corporate style of interaction. (2016 ish)
Im heartened to see platforms like Substack fighting to keep the liberal flame alive online, and its great that you guys have partnered with them!
To this next chapter and adventure, Im here for it! cheers!
The Fifth Column scheduled a major move on the fifth day of the fifth month. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but if it was, Bravo! I dig the alignment.
Who else in the Fifdom has a podcast I should be listening to? I've enjoyed discovering the Community Show, Ask A Jew, and Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em via the Fifth Column and Paloma Media.
Well y’all did it and finally convinced me to pay up (special shout out to Moynihan for all of his cheapskate haranguing). But for serious, enjoyed the podcast for some time and the annual discount finally pushed me over the finish line. That and the fact that this pod (along with Blocked & Reported) is one of the few places where it seems like folks haven’t absolutely lost their fucking minds. So, bravo to you, gentlemen.
Eeeeekkkk! I’ve been waiting for this. Y’all finally arrived in the Mother Land.
I’m a devoted listener and proud Fifdom rep. Yet, I was also too lazy (intoxicated?) to download the Patreon app. Now my favorite pods/thinkers (shout out to my BARpod brethren) are all together in the same place like a true dysfunctional family.
I can’t wait until Thanksgiving. Welcome home, gentlemen.
Greeting. I fucking love you guys and support the fuck out of this move. However I can’t do 10 bones a month. Can I just buy my echo chamber news cable subscription package of Blocked & Reported, Reason, Persuasion, Sam Harris, Dark Horse, Common Sense, Greenwood, Taibbi, Coleman Hughes, Nancy Romm, Glenn Loury (& McWhorter) for like $40 a month?
May that probably non-existent God bless you drunken bastards. xo
Posting my farewell Patreon post here as I am not sure how quickly you are transitioning to Substack:
It’s like standing in the empty house you’ve lived in for a long time just after moving out. Bitter sweet and a little melancholy, but hopeful with the prospect of better things to come. Job well done, gentlemen, and my heartfelt thanks for the work you’ve done and also for the work you are going to do!
I must be a complete dolt. I still can't find the link to buy tix for May 18th @ the Village Underground. Help me out of my dolt-ish state, anyone?? Thx!

Betty, while being a wonderful person with substack support, has informed me I must fly coach until the comp month is over. Unacceptable.
There are at least 20 screaming babies back here.
Loving the substack! Great support too. Amazing to see. Hope this is the beginning of something very special!
NFC! NFC!
Maybe you’ll actually read one of my most excellent messages.

So excited you guys made the jump!

Obvious joke if it hasn't been made:
It was a knife that identified as a gun, and your misarmoring of that poor weapon is disgusting.
Other than the woefully misguided removal of an official, snooty-priced Never Fly Coach tier, this is an exciting new chapter.

Crying a bit that there is no Android app for Substack yet... but I'll hold in there cause obviously TFC is worth it.
