Scumbags Blaming Los Angeles Fires On DEI Just Reminding Us Who They Really Are (AUDIO VERSION)

Welcome, Moral High Grounders! Here is the audio version of the newsletter from Friday, January 10, 2025, which was entitled Scumbags Blaming Los Angeles Fires On DEI Just Reminding Us Who They Really Are.

These audio mini-podcasts are a goodie for paying subscribers, by the way, so if you want the extended remix of the weekly newsletter, upgrade your membership to a paying subscription. You’ll get access to these audio versions, plus the exclusive live-chat — SEE HOUSEKEEPING NOTE BELOW — plus some upcoming video collabs with other super-talented Substackers, and more things as they happen!

Plus, you’ll be supporting my little corner of the independent media universe, and we need to all support as much of that as we can as we enter this next hellscape phase of American history.

By the way, as you read this, we are almost to 8,700 total subscribers! Please share this newsletter all the places you share things — Bluesky, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, even the gross Elon site if you’re still there — so the newsletter can keep growing faster and faster! Let’s hit 10,000 before the end of the month.

One day soon? More posts! More professional podcast that’s not just me yapping! Collaborations with other Substackers and interviews! The more people become paying subscribers, the faster all these fun things can happen. To give you an idea of what I’m thinking, somewhere between 15 and 20,000 total subscribers will be where I can really start doing bigger things around here, and start thinking about truly expanding this joint.

Thank you all so much for reading and joining and all the things, I adore you all.

Oh, and HOUSEKEEPING. I will try to announce it each week, but for paying subscribers, for future reference, the livechat will always be on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. Central. I have learned that I am bad at getting an email out on Tuesdays to remind everyone, so we’re going to try having a fixed time.

Here is the print edition of this week’s newsletter, for reference:
