I’ve been reading Aftermath for free for long enough that I decided it’s time to pony up. Let’s go!
aftermath.site Aftermath @aftermath.site · 3d
Exciting news! Thanks to our sale, we've rocketed all the way up to over 4,900 paying subscribers. This means we can cross another goal, a regular columnist, off our list. We plan to sort out the exact specifics in our own time, but for now, who do you think would be a good fit?
4,800 - We can pay somebody to write a regular column for the site. 4,900 - Where we're at now! 5,000 - Most of us can do this full-time, with the caveat that budgets and business structures are complicated, and we're still figuring out all the costs that go into receiving livable pay from a business. A year from now, we'll probably know if we estimated this one correctly or not (lol). 5,200 - We can bring on people to help us with more specialized tasks (a dedicated businessperson, someone to focus on our social media accounts and promotion, etc). 5,500 - More merch drops! 5,800 - We can bring on another regular contributor to keep Isaiah company. (We decided to allocate funds for this one a little earlier than planned to bring on Nicole, an excellent decision on our parts if we do say so ourselves.) 6,000 - A second party, and we can cover Luke’s travel costs (unless he decides he never wants to set foot in America again, which would be totally understandable). 6,300 - We can travel to and cover events more regularly. 6,500 - We can hire another full-time staff member!

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Bill Gates: "Cows make 6% of global emissions." "You can either fix the cows, or make beef without the cow. That's the conversation now: not about farming, not about land use — but redesigning the cow itself.

screenshot from the linked/quoted article. text reads: Sherald's advice to young artists: "A lot of times when you don't know what you're going to make, it's not because you have some kind of block, it's just because you haven't lived out in the world long enough, and so, part of making good art is having experiences, so maybe get out of the studio and don't put the pressure on yourself to make something... If you're out and you're living in the world with your antennas up and you're looking at movies and you're reading and you're having conversations, that's part of art-making as well. It doesn't happen in a vacuum." Image credit: Amy Sherald. A God Blessed Land (Empire of Dirt). 2022. Tymure Collection. © Amy Sherald.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

CATHY by Cathy Guisewite debuted in newspapers #OTD in 1976.

It ran until 2010, was collected in more than 20 books, and inspired 3 animated TV specials and tons of licensed products! Ack! #ComicStrip #Comics

When the bridge closed, about 25,000 vehicles crossed it daily and TfL predicted a severe economic impact. Six years later, 9,000 of those journeys have vanished - not diverted to other crossings, but simply evaporated
