 Finally, a way to use the internet to watch celebrities pal around with one another and develop my own parasocial relationship with them! I was not able to imagine this before, but now I can. Thank you Substack (Screenshot from Substack's announcement of their "Substack Notes" feature) (Also because this is the fediverse: I AM BEING SARCASTIC I HATE SUBSTACK) 5 comments
 @darius Substack is a terrible company*, and/but they are very clever to identify that one of the big attractions of Twitter was that any random person† could be plucked from obscurity by the attention of an important person. That's a real source of voltage! (Just not here.) * I moved my free covid newsletter to them when the previous host failed out and will not be moving it because please god I cannot write it long enough to make it worth moving † would-be media commentator @kissane oh yeah it's super clever, it's also not the world I want to live in (it's also the world I already live in so like... mostly I was snarking at their use of "imagine") @darius is this personalized? It looks kind of like ai celebrity mad libs, aspiring to incorporate your tastes including your actual celeb crushes. Soon it will because there are no secrets any more |
