A few months ago I started reading posts and comments on Substack. It has become my go-to place on the web for thoughtful writing and commentary on the news and culture of the day. With the "broligarchy" controlling all our mainstream and social media, it is incumbent--absolutely imperative, actually--to curate our news and information sources and I find Substack and BlueSky to be the two best places for independent and thoughtful analysis.
In the last month I have unsubscribed from all my mainstream content providers (Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, ....) and I have quit Twitter/X and am cutting WAY back on all things Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). This is forcing a shift in how I consume content and I think it will end up being a good thing.
I have also decided to write my own posts on Substack. You can find me here: https://substack.com/@smithstorian. Eventually, I will find a way to easily read my posts here on this website, but in the meantime, I will leave this post here with this link. I hope to see you there!
Your friend on the path....
