Catching up having been out of it with covid (first timer here 🙌🏼) and was only well enough to watch the DNCC and nothing else for a few days. I just want to say I love the bit on ‘Stahnning Khan’. It has got to catch fire. I will wear a button!

I'm all for stahnning for Khan. KHAN!!!!! All over that. Even thought of trying to sneak in a sign to the Walz rally tomorrow in blue-dot-ville. But it appears that the secret service will not be allowing that to happen (still going to sneak in my trusty sharpie to maybe add to a distributed sign).

Edit: I also bought my kid a year's worth of new-fucking - she needs it to educate her boyfriend on why he needs to vote for president (and for Harris). Am rounding up other substackers to gift to her, too.

Y’know, the word “hero” gets tossed around a lot..

…but you are a newsfucking hero for the ages.

Thank you. And please be careful at the rally! (That said, I hope EVERYONE is sharing Khan images/pics with me so I can share them, too!)

A year ago I finally started getting paid comparable to what those in my male-dominated profession were paid decades earlier in their careers. It’s my honor to spread that around whenever I can.

Alex Dobrenko did a sale on his substack recently that seemed rather successful. Not sure if anyone follows him, but it is a model worth considering. I'm already a subscriber here.

Thanks! And you certainly are! Thank you! I will try to track down that sale you reference... assuming I can take time from newsfucking, obvi...

There’s a decent chance Disney might wiggle out of this one. Raglan Road is not a Disney-owned restaurant. It’s independently owned and operated, renting space on Disney property. So while they certainly have a moral duty to the family, they may not actually have a legal one as none of Raglan Road’s staff actually works for Disney.

I expect to see a ton of people canceling Disney+ over this, though.

Ooh! You've got details I hadn't seen in the national coverage. Amazing they didn't just argue in court: You've got the wrong mouse.
