Welcome, Moral High Grounders! Here is the audio version of the newsletter from Friday, December 13, 2024, which was entitled This Newsletter Isn't All About Pete Hegseth. And it’s true, it wasn’t! But some of it is, because that guy is still unfortunately the Defense secretary nominee, and he could still be confirmed, though it sounds like he still doesn’t have the votes.
But we talked about some other more festive things, like Texas Dildo Cops and right-wingers having histronic conniptions about Wicked. Fun stuff!
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. (I’m celebrating over 8,000 total subscribers, so they’re 20 percent off!) You’ll get access to these audio versions, plus the exclusive live-chat, 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, again, over 8,000 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 new year!
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.
